Overview
- At Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre on Saturday, at least one attendee shouted during Kamala Harris’ discussion of 107 Days, prompting chants of “get her out” as security removed several people.
- Footage from the event showed additional interruptions, including a man who appeared to yell about genocide before being escorted out, with motivations at the venue not immediately clear.
- Videos shared by the U.S. Palestinian Community Network depict protesters accusing Harris of supporting Israel’s actions in Gaza and calling her “killer Kamala” before removals.
- Moderator Michele Norris urged the crowd to respect the speaker to applause, while Harris responded with a light quip about her name and, in another exchange, challenged a heckler over discouraging voting.
- The Chicago incident continues a pattern of disruptions reported at earlier tour stops in New York City and Washington, D.C., as the memoir’s rollout draws criticism from some Democrats and commentators.
