Prem Thakker reports that as Biden was speaking: “Audience members at the DNC in Chicago unfurl banner that says ‘Stop arming Israel.’ After audience sees the banner, they begin chanting ‘We love Joe.’ Man tries to rip banner away. Stadium lights over this spot then dimmed and banner was ripped away.”

Tony Karon of AJ+ tweets: “Kamala Harris is ‘working tirelessly to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza,’ says AOC. Nobody is fooled; the U.S. is arming the genocide and guaranteeing impunity for the perpetrators — Harris has made clear she won’t use U.S. leverage over Israel” to end the genocide.
