Pro-Palestinian protests disrupted Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Charlotte Saturday night.

Protesters, as well as some supporters of former President Donald Trump, were escorted from the rally at the PNC Music Pavilion by security after booing Harris. Harris addressed both groups of protesters at the rally, telling attendees that the protests are an example of democracy.

“It’s all good,” Harris said. “One of the reasons we are here is because we are fighting for a democracy and for people’s right to speak their mind. But now I’m talking.”

The group of about 10 pro-Palestinian protesters said Harris should “stop arming Israel” and held up a banner that was quickly ripped from their hands by an attendee before being escorted out of the venue.

“We all want the war in the Middle East to end. We want the hostages home,” Harris told the protesters. “When I’m president, I’ll do everything in my power to make that happen.”

Before Harris came along, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and Charlotte United for Palestine did a post on Instagram asking protesters to occupy seats at the venue.

“No votes for genocide. Not the lesser of two evils,” the post reads. “No war criminals are welcome here.”

Harris was also interrupted by pro-Palestinian protests Thursday in Madison, Wis and responded in kind by saying he wanted the war to end.

Harris and the Biden administration have said they are pushing for a cease-fire agreement that would include the release of Israeli hostages, but have largely defended Israel’s military tactics following the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack. NPR reported. According to Reuters, more than 41,500 people have been killed by Israeli military forces in Gaza since the October attack, in which Hamas militants killed more than 1,200 people.

Once the protesters were cleared from the venue, Harris continued her pitch as the common sense candidate for president. She talked about helping the middle class, protecting reproductive rights and supporting small businesses during her roughly 30-minute speech.

“What I care about, on your behalf, is really about dignity,” Harris said after addressing the protesters. “It’s about the importance of lifting people up and not trying to tear them down.”
