Anti-Israel Protesters Wreck Major Kamala Harris Fundraiser
Anti-Israel Protesters Wreck Major Kamala Harris Fundraiser

Kamala Harris has a big problem. She needs to win over the Democratic Party. However, not everyone is on board, regardless of what the media tells you. So she’s bringing out the big guns across blue cities. One of the biggest is New York mayor Eric Adams. The leftist mayor was on hand for a big rally, trying to muster up excitement for the would-be president.

You would think in a city like New York, Kamala would have no issue getting support. But things are not as what the media makes them out to be.

It turns out one of Biden’s biggest election problems is coming back to haunt Kamala. The event should’ve been a victory for this progressive candidate. Instead, she had a deal with something that she is in no way ready to address herself. And what should’ve been an exciting night for leftists turned out to be something that could haunt her all the way to election day.

From The Post Millennial:
Anti-Israel activists crashed a Democratic rally supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in New York City on Wednesday where Mayor Eric Adams was speaking and went on to trash the afterparty venues, causing thousands of dollars in damage to the nearby restaurant.

Agitators wearing keffiyehs set off smoke bombs and some were taken into custody by NYPD officers. At least 14 were arrested. An NYPD vehicle was graffitied with the words “Free Gaza” while a protester plastered a sign on a restaurant window that read “No Votes for Bombala’s Genocide.”

In a scene straight out of a political thriller, Vice President Kamala Harris’ fundraiser in New York City was anything but the smooth sailing Democrats were hoping for. Instead, it turned into a chaotic spectacle, proving that Biden’s biggest problem—unruly activists—might be even harder to handle than anticipated.

The rally was supposed to be a power-packed event, drawing top Democratic leaders and supporters under one roof. But what happened next was a masterclass in how to hijack an event, literally.

As New York City Mayor Eric Adams took the stage in Harlem’s Hamilton Heights neighborhood, everything seemed to be on track. That is until the anti-Israel activists decided to make their grand entrance. Decked out in keffiyehs and ready for action, these protesters didn’t just come to voice their opinions—they came to disrupt.

Smoke bombs? Check. Graffiti on NYPD vehicles? Double check. And, of course, the pièce de résistance—graffitied messages like “Free Gaza” and the creatively dubbed “No Votes for Bombala’s Genocide” slapped across a restaurant window. Subtlety was clearly not on the menu.

Now, you’d think the star of the show—Kamala Harris herself—would be front and center to witness this debacle. But nope, she was nowhere near the chaos, instead gallivanting around Boston. Talk about a missed photo op. Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was also MIA, leaving attendees wondering if they had been duped by the event flyer.

But the real victim of the night? The nearby Bird in Hand restaurant, a mom-and-pop joint that bore the brunt of the activists’ rage. Owner Brian Felicetta, a born-and-bred New Yorker, woke up to thousands of dollars in damage and a lot of questions. “I don’t know what the target or intention was,” he said, bewildered. And honestly, who could blame him?

As the NYPD moved in to restore order, arresting at least 14 protesters, the message was clear: the Democrats have a problem on their hands. And it’s not just about Israel—it’s about a growing movement of activists who are willing to go to extreme lengths to make their voices heard.

Key Takeaways:

  • Anti-Israel activists turned a Kamala Harris fundraiser into chaos, causing thousands in damage.
  • Harris was absent from the event, leaving other Democratic leaders to face the fallout.
  • The incident highlights the growing challenge of managing increasingly disruptive protests at political events.
