Vice President Kamala Harris is again heckled by an anti-Israel protester during a rally in Savannah, Georgia, on Thursday evening.
As she has now several times, the Democratic presidential nominee responds by stressing her support for a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
“We are fighting for our democracy. Everyone has a right and should have their voices heard… The president and I are working around the clock. We’ve got to get a hostage deal and get a ceasefire done now,” she says to overwhelming cheers from the audience that drown out the heckler.
