Kamala Harris seethes as heckler calls her a ‘right-wing war criminal’

In a video posted online by Climate Defiance, a furious heckler called Kamala Harris a “right-wing war criminal”:

Harris didn’t seem to enjoy this.

Maybe she should have thought about that before entering a right-wing Democrat administration which went on to oversee a genocide?

Kamala Harris ‘furious’

Kamala Harris was speaking at a talk for her book 107 Days. The premise of the book is that she lost the presidential race because she only had 107 days to get her act together, rather than because she was a terrible candidate who refused to offer the public anything besides empty platitudes.

One key issue voters had was that incumbent president Joe Biden failed to stop Israel’s genocide, and Harris failed to speak out against this.

As everyone suspected at the time, Biden did precisely fuck all to stop the genocide – something which would later be confirmed by insiders. Harris failed to object when she had the chance, and she failed to promise anything different when she ran for president.

As we’ve seen in recent weeks, ending Israel’s genocide was always the call of the US president. Biden could have ended it on day one, or when it was obvious that it was affecting the Democrat’s ability to beat Trump. Instead he ended it never, only for Trump to call time a year later when the global backlash began to get on his nerves.

We’ve yet to see if the ceasefire will hold, but if it doesn’t, it’s not because Trump doesn’t have the power to stop it; it’s because his donors have bent his ear better than his business partners in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

While the genocide wasn’t the only issue which turned voters off, it was the most emblematic of the Democrat’s wanton depravity.

So anyway, with all that in mind, here’s what the heckler shouted at Harris:

Kamala Harris you are a right-wing WAR CRIMINAL!

You funded genocide!

For 161 days!

Harris looked genuinely furious at this point – not like during the failed presidential run when she smugly told a Palestinian supporter “I’m speaking”:

Back to the video, the heckler shouted:

Hind Rajab was shot 355 times!

During your administration!

You lost the election because you would rather be a Republican than a Democrat!

This is your fault!

We have 4 years of Trump because of your 107 days!

You are a war criminal!

You sold out the youth!

You sold out the climate!

Shame on you!

Harris was quietly seething by this point, as she well should. We’d be angry too if we were soulless monsters who were led to believe we’d never face a shred of accountability.

It’s notable, by the way, that Kamala ‘I’m Speaking’ Harris has said next to nothing about Trump since he took power. Maybe she should have gone all in on that and never spoken publicly again?

End of an era

Kamala Harris is a dreadful, empty vessel of a politician, and increasingly these people can’t make it in politics.

Empty slogans don’t work in an age of social media where people can fact check you in real-time. Unfortunately, flat out lies do work, which is why politicians like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage can monster figures like Kamala Harris and Keir Starmer.

The only thing that can win now is a platform which actually offers something. And as American voters tried to tell Harris last year, they ain’t voting for genocide or growing inequality.
