A gathering in support of Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy in New York City was marred by chaos when pro-Hamas activists stormed the event, highlighting the deepening divisions within the Democratic Party over the conflict in Gaza.
Although the rally was not an official campaign event, it drew prominent state Democrats, including Mayor Eric Adams, who were there to show their support for Harris ahead of next week’s national convention in Chicago. However, the event quickly turned into a scene of mayhem as protesters clashed with police and set off smoke bombs near the venue.
The disturbance was captured on video by Oliya Scootercaster, who witnessed the chaos firsthand. The incident has raised concerns about the potential for further disruptions at the Democratic National Convention, where tensions are expected to run high.
Despite the organizers’ efforts to anticipate and prepare for potential disruptions, it appears that the convention may be headed for a showdown between rival factions within the party. The pro-Hamas activists’ brazen disruption of the Harris rally has set the stage for what promises to be a contentious and unpredictable convention.
