Vice President Kamala Harris said an old phrase to shut down protesters at a campaign stop in Michigan, telling them, “I’m speaking.”
Some pro-Palestinian protesters began shouting at Harris during her campaign stop in Detroit on Wednesday. At first, she acknowledged their right to protest, as did President Joe Biden at a campaign event when he was still in the race.
“I’m here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters,” she said. “But I am speaking now. I am speaking now.”
When they did not quiet down, she said, “You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.”
After the line about Trump, the crowd loudly cheered for her and began chanting “Kamala” to drown out protesters. The protesters were then escorted out of the event, according to NBC News.
