Overview
- Security removed multiple protesters during Kamala Harris’s Oct. 11 discussion at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre, with interruptions captured on video.
- Demonstrators shouted accusations such as “killer Kamala” and “you support genocide,” with some citing a roughly $20 billion U.S. arms sale approved in August 2024.
- Harris pushed back by telling hecklers she is not the president and later invoked “the legacy of mass deportation, of people not voting, and Donald Trump.”
- Moderator Michele Norris urged respect for the speaker as the audience booed the disruptions and applauded the removals.
- The Chicago incident follows similar interruptions in New York and Washington, D.C., with groups like USPCN and CODEPINK sharing clips online as the tour continues into November.
