*They came for her again. Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced multiple disruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters during a Chicago book tour event on Saturday (10-11-25), marking the latest in a series of demonstrations that have shadowed her promotional events for the memoir “107 Days.”
The incident at the historic Auditorium Theatre saw at least three protesters ejected after shouting accusations regarding U.S. policy in Gaza, while Harris responded with sharp retorts that drew applause from supportive attendees.
The disruptions began as Harris, in conversation with journalist Michele Norris, discussed her 107-day 2024 presidential campaign following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal. A woman interrupted, shouting accusations of genocide, immediately drawing boos from the crowd and chants of “get her out” before security escorted her from the venue. Moments later, a man stood, yelling about “genocide” and referencing a $20 billion U.S. arms sale to Israel under the Biden administration. A third protester screamed, “What about the press you let die in Gaza, Kamala?” Each was swiftly removed, with footage of the confrontations quickly spreading across social media platforms.
Harris Responds with Quips and Deflections
Throughout the interruptions, Harris maintained her composure, responding with pointed remarks that highlighted her current distance from executive power. To one protester who labeled her “killer Kamala” and a “war criminal,” Harris retorted, “You know what? I am not President of the United States! You wanna go to the White House and talk to him [Trump], then go on and do that.”

She swiftly pivoted to contrast her legacy with that of former President Donald Trump, stating, “If you want to talk about legacy, let’s talk about the legacy of mass deportation, of people not voting, and Donald Trump.” Following a plea from moderator Michele Norris for respectful dialogue, Harris added a lighthearted jab, saying, “And please pronounce my name correctly…” a reference to frequent mispronunciations of her name throughout her political career.
A Pattern of Protest on the “107 Days” Tour
The Chicago event marks the fifth significant disruption on Harris’s 15-city tour, which began in late September and continues through mid-November with planned stops in North Carolina, California, Washington, Tennessee, Canada, and London. The protests have consistently focused on her role in the Biden administration’s support of Israel, including arms sales and the vetoing of UN cease-fire resolutions.
Groups like the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) have amplified footage from the Chicago protest on social media platform X, criticizing Harris for refusing to account for “mass murdering Palestinians.” The pattern began in New York City on September 24, where hecklers shouted “blood on your hands” during her event, and has continued through stops in Washington, D.C., where protesters were similarly removed after interrupting with Gaza-related demonstrations.
Mixed Reactions Highlight Political Divisions
Reactions to the Chicago protest reflected the nation’s deep political divisions. Conservative outlets like Fox News and the Daily Mail framed the event as “rowdy” chaos, with some commentators mocking Harris’s handling of the situation and describing her as “rattled.” Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian voices on social media praised the protesters for holding Harris accountable, with videos of the confrontation garnering tens of thousands of views.
On platform X, posts from accounts like @Breaking911 and @FoxNews accumulated hundreds of thousands of views, with comments ranging from sympathetic to sarcastic. “Why don’t you go to the White House?” asked one user in response to Harris’s deflection toward Trump, while another commented, “LMAO! Crashed by angry protesters.”
Throughout the disruptions, moderator Michele Norris appealed for civility, telling the audience, “We encourage people to use their voices but we want them to show respect for this woman.” The crowd largely sided with Harris, booing the protesters and erupting in applause for Norris’s call for respectful dialogue and for Harris’s quippy responses.
The “107 Days” tour has increasingly become a flashpoint for broader foreign policy debates, transforming what was intended as a promotional book tour into a platform for airing grievances about U.S. international policy. As the tour continues through November, these incidents underscore the challenges Harris faces as she navigates her post-2024 political role, balancing memoir promotion with addressing the polarized foreign policy views that continue to dominate political discourse.
