NEW YORK - Kamala Harris’ first event in her multi-city book tour was disrupted by several pro-Palestine protesters Sept. 24, prompting the former vice president to suggest her early position on the Israel-Hamas war was not in lockstep with the Joe Biden administration.
“People in our administration can tell you what my voice was in those rooms – in those closed rooms – in the Oval Office,” Harris said to the packed venue in New York City. “I was not president. I couldn’t make the decisions, but I made my position clear.”
The event was the first stop in Harris’ book tour, to promote her new memoir, “107 Days,” chronicling her run for president in 2024.
At least three protesters interrupted Harris during the first of two on-stage interview events at Town Hall in Manhattan Wednesday night, one screaming she has “blood on her hands” over the Israel-Hamas war. The demonstrators were booed loudly by a crowd of nearly 1,500 and escorted out of the building by security. A group of more than a dozen also congregated outside the venue, drawing an increased law enforcement presence.
