VP Kamala Harris is going viral for how she reacted to interruptive protesters during her recent rally in Michigan.
According to USA Today, Harris hit a rally stage in front of about 15,000 attendees in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday, August 7. Amid her speech, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters reportedly interrupted her remarks.
“Kamala, Kamala, you cant hide! We wont vote for genocide,” they yelled, per the outlet.
Harris initially responded with calm remarks, the outlet adds.
“Im here because I believe in democracy. I believe everyones voice matters. But Im speaking now. I am speaking now,” she reportedly said.
However, as the “interruptions continued,” the VP decided to amp up her response.
“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” she added as she raised her hands and glared across the room.
Social media users reacted to Harris’ fiery response at the Michigan rally by sharing over 13,000 comments in The Shade Room’s comment section.
Instagram user @bobbypen wrote, “The stare down is LETHAL ”
While Instagram user @diamond_natural added, “America just had its very first ‘Black Mama’ moment. Welcome to our world. ”
Instagram user @yooohypemommy wrote, “Baby it was that second stare down fa me dont play with her!!!”
According to USA Today, the Detroit rally was the “largest rally yet” for Harris’ campaign. Furthermore, the stop is among one of Harris’ firsts since she picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the presidential election.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Harris announced the decision on Tuesday, August 8.
At the time, she asserted that she and Walz are “going to build a great partnership” and “win this election.”
