Footage has recirculated of Kamala Harris addressing a group of pro-Palestine activists. Harris, at the time, was on her first stop for her multi-city book tour for her new memoir, 107 Days. The activist group accused her of having “blood on her hands” regarding her stance on the war conflict in Gaza. “People in our administration can tell you what my voice was in those rooms – in those closed rooms – in the Oval Office,” Harris told the protestors in a packed New York City venue.

“I was not [the] president. I couldn’t make the decisions, but I made my position clear.” USA Today reported that the demonstrators were quickly booed by the crowd and escorted out of the venue. Not long after, a dozen more protesters arrived, causing police enforcement to be involved. Back in September, Harris dropped off a memoir, 107 Days, chronicling her history campaign for the 2024 Presidential Election. She also discussed her thoughts after losing to Donald Trump, as well as the challenges she faced with Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.

Kamala Harris Won’t Return To ‘Broken’ Political System, She Says

Back in August, Kamala Harris stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for a special extended interview. She revealed to the host her decision to step away from politics. She noted that while she loves being a public servant, the political system is too “broken.”

Harris had been in talks to run for Governor of California in 2026. However, she later announced that she would not take part in the race. Colbert jokingly hinted that she had her eyes on something bigger — possibly the 2028 Presidential Election. Despite sharing a brief laugh with Colbert and the audience, Harris declared at this point in her life, she “doesn’t wanna go back” into politics.

She added, “I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that they’re not as strong as they need to be. For now, I don’t want to go back into that system.”
