Kamala Harris was heckled at a holiday party at the vice president’s residence in Washington, D.C. Monday night by a Muslim Democrat state representative from Delaware upset over the administration’s support for Israel defending itself after the October 7 terror attack by Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
State Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton (D-DE) stood up as Harris was addressing the holiday gathering and held a black banner with large white lettering that read “Ceasefire”. The crowd tried to shush Wilson-Anton as she heckled Harris.
Wilson-Anton: (interrupting Harris) “Madam Vice President, I’m the state rep from Delaware. Did you know that in Bethlehem they’re not celebrating Christmas? Did you know that in Bethlehem baby Jesus is under rubble? Why won’t you call for a ceasefire?”
Harris: “…In a democracy, there’s the right of everyone to make their voices heard…”
Wilson-Anton: “Yes. Why don’t you call for a ceasefire?”
Harris: “…so I appreciate that you want to be heard but right now I’m speaking.”
Wilson-Anton: “Call for a ceasefire now!”
Wilson-Anton was removed from the event as the crowd cheered Harris.
Wilson-Anton posted video of her heckling Harris:

A group of pro-Hamas protesters gathered outside the vice president’s residence on Massachusetts Avenue, NW during Harris’ party:
Dozens of demonstrators gathered in front of @vp Kamala Harris’ residence to demand a CEASEFIRE NOW. #CeasefireNOW
As Palestinian Christian leaders like @MuntherIsaac have said, it is impossible to celebrate when our people are living through, and dying from, genocide. pic.twitter.com/nQZ4sJxdb0

The Democratic Party is divided into two camps over the Hamas war on Israel: The pro-Hamas wing of radical Muslims and progressives against the traditional Democrats who have supported Israel since the day President Harry Truman recognized the Jewish state in 1948.
