Harris appears to agree with a protester who accuses Israel of genocide: “What he says is real.”

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to agree with an anti-Israel protester who accused the Jewish state of genocide during a campaign stop.

A video of the exchange during a campaign stop Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee showed the moment Harris was interrupted by a keffiyeh-wearing protester.

“I know what you’re talking about. I want a ceasefire. I want the hostage deal to be completed. I want the war to end,” Harris said.

“But what about genocide? “What about the genocide?” shouted the interrupting protester.

KAMALA HARRIS praises a student who accused Israel of “ethnic genocide” for speaking “her truth.”

Harris responded, “I respect your right to speak, but I’m speaking right now,” prompting an outpouring of cheers.

The man was removed from the crowd and continued to scream.

“How about the billions of dollars to Israel?” he shouted. “What about the 19,000 children dead and you wouldn’t call it genocide?”

After the protester was led away, Harris addressed the audience and appeared to lend credence to his claims about Israel.

TWO WEEKS, THE STATUS OF THE RACE

“Listen, what he’s talking about is real,” she said. “This is not the topic I wanted to talk about today, but it is real and I respect his voice.”

The vice president has never before accused Israel of genocide during the Israel-Hamas war. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.

Harris previously appeared to agree with students who accused the Jewish state of genocide.

In 2021, Harris nodded when a student accused Israel of ethnic genocide, then responded that the student’s “truth should not be suppressed.”

The student from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, had raised questions about the money the US provides to Israel and Saudi Arabia and accused the Jewish state of genocide.

Harris said she was “glad” the student raised such concerns and said her opinions should be heard in a democracy.

“And again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth should not be suppressed and must be heard, right? And one of the things we fight for in a democracy, right?” Harris said.
