Dem Lawmaker Screams Over Kamala Harris’ Holiday Party Speech, Igniting Response: ‘Right Now, I Am Speaking’

Vice President Harris’ holiday party speech was interrupted by a Democrat state representative who called for a cease-fire in the Middle East.

Harris was in the middle of speaking at a Christmas party on Monday night when Delaware state Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton held up a sign that read “cease-fire” and began yelling at the vice president.

“Madam Vice President, I am a rep from Delaware. Did you know in Bethlehem they are not celebrating Christmas? Did you know in Bethlehem, baby Jesus is under rubble? Why won’t you call for a cease-fire?” Wilson-Anton shouted.

The vice president cut off the interrupter, saying, “I appreciate you wanting to be heard, but right now I’m speaking.”

“Call for a cease-fire now,” Wilson-Anton shouted as she was seen on video being escorted out of the event.

Most lawmakers oppose a call for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, with President Biden writing in a November Washington Post op-ed that “a cease-fire is not peace.”

“As long as Hamas clings to its ideology of destruction, a cease-fire is not peace. To Hamas’ members, every cease-fire is time they exploit to rebuild their stockpile of rockets, reposition fighters and restart the killing by attacking innocents again,” Biden said.

Many members of the Democrat Party and Biden’s own administration have expressed disagreement with the president amid reports of White House interns sending a letter to him urging a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.
