WATCH: Kamala Harris Gets Relentlessly Heckled During ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Appearance
Vice President Kamala Harris did not receive the reception she had hoped for while appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday, as she was relentlessly heckled by a member of the crowd.
In what has become somewhat routine for elected Democrats, Harris’ appearance was interrupted by a pro-Palestine protester who accused her of being complicit in genocide.
“Stop the genocide!” a woman in the crowd yelled while Harris was being interviewed by Kimmel, an alleged comedian and enthusiastic Biden shill. “15,000 children are dead because of you! Stop the genocide!”
Another woman then joined in by yelling, “You’re a murderer!”

“Please stop sending money to Israel!” the protesters continued. “Real babies have been beheaded, not fake babies like Joe Biden said he saw!”
Kimmel attempted to reframe the conversation as the hecklers continued, saying “sorry about that” before proceeding with softball questions.
Security eventually attempted to escort the protesters out, who continued to yell “you’re a murderer” as Kimmel’s studio band attempted to play over them. The disruption continued for several minutes despite efforts from security to remove them.
A number of the protesters were arrested for “interfering with a live TV broadcast,” though protests continued outside the building.
Elected Democrats have been on the receiving end of hecklers and protesters at campaign events since the conflict in Gaza erupted in the wake of the October 7 attacks. Biden’s campaign events have been crashed by protesters chanting “genocide Joe” on numerous occasions.
The conflict in Gaza has presented a number of political problems for the Biden-Harris campaign, as the progressive wing of the Democrat Party have called for a ceasefire in Gaza. This has led to a number of protest votes against the president in a number of states, including the battleground state of Michigan, Minnesota, and most recently, New Jersey.
