While former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris debated at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, pro-Hamas activists clashed with police while calling for the end of Israel and America.
As the debate proceeded inside, hundreds of activists marched down Market Street from City Hall in the "Shut Down the Debate" rally with banners, bullhorns, and signs while carrying flags supporting Palestine and terrorist organizations demanding a ceasefire in the Israeli-Hamas war while criticizing both presidential candidates.
According to Fox 29, one of the activists shouted, "They both support Israel! They are both sending our tax dollars to commit genocide!" Freedom TV News was on the scene covering the mayhem.
Another said, "These two candidates are not the lesser of two evils. They are every four years. They try to coerce you into voting for them every four years."
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, one of the activists held a sign that read “Abandon Harris ’24,” and claimed Harris’s position on the war in Gaza wouldn’t be different from that of President Joe Biden.
Despite a large police presence outside the Secret Service perimeter on Market Street, the radicals marched past the debate site and clashed with cops at 4th and Market streets as police took a few into custody.
At least three people were arrested when approximately 100 cops in riot gear attempted to disperse the crowd.
