Pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with law enforcement and disrupted an afterparty following Vice President Kamala Harris' rally in New York City. The incident occurred in Harlem, where demonstrators lined the streets after a rally attended by Harris and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Video footage captured the protesters expressing their anger, with one shouting, 'You set Palestine on fire,' while others set off smoke bombs and chanted anti-Israel slogans. This disruption is not the first time Harris has faced protesters at her campaign stops, as she has previously addressed interruptions by asserting her right to speak.

Harris has faced protesters at campaign stops before, asserting her right to speak.

During a campaign event in Michigan, Harris responded to protesters by stating, 'You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking,' which was met with mixed reactions from the audience.

The Biden administration's stance on supporting Israel in its conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip has been a contentious issue. The administration's approach has faced criticism from some quarters, leading to heightened tensions and protests like the one witnessed in New York City.
