The Al Smith snub and Christian dismissal weren’t the only telling takes from Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday as she sounded off on the “genocide” in the Middle East.

Campaigning has proven clarifying on the stances of the presidential wannabe as her own choices laid bare the positions she danced around with platitudes. This included her offering a take that signaled accord with the Hamas-sympathizers while stumping in Wisconsin.

Having passed on attending the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, mocking Catholics instead with a pre-recorded video, Harris found herself siding against Israel’s counteroffensive to Islamist terrorism when a keffiyeh-clad heckler interrupted her remarks at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

“I know what you’re speaking of. I want the ceasefire. I want the hostage deal done. I want the war to end and I respect your right to speak, but I am speaking right now,” said the vice president as the heckler being told to leave continued, “But what about the genocide? What about the genocide though?”

As he was being removed, the protester continued to shout “…billions of dollars…”19,000 children dead, and you won’t call it a genocide?”

In response, Harris voiced agreement with the position and told the crowd, “Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real. That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice.”

Notably, as the Democratic Party nominee found herself losing support among Arab-American voters on both sides of the issue over her wishy-washy attempt to have it both ways, her statement Thursday was not the first time she agreed with campus activists.

In Sept. 2021, the vice president spoke with students at George Mason University and reacted to a student decrying funds being provided to Israel, “which hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people — the same that happened in America — and I’m sure you’re aware of this.”

Accepting the premise in full, the vice president replied to a student speaking up, “I’m glad you did. I’m glad you did. And again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth, should not be suppressed and it must be heard, right? And one of the things we’re fighting for in a democracy, right?”

Her position at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee came as she had also mocked protesters who had shouted during a rally the same day, “Jesus is Lord,” only to be told, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”

The Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro was among those calling out the vice president for being “radical and awful,” as he posted on X, “Over the last two days, Harris was confronted with two sets of protesters. One shouted, ‘Jesus Is Lord!’ She said, ‘You guys are at the wrong rally.’ The other shouted that Israel is committing ‘genocide.’ She said, ‘It’s real.’ She’s radical and awful.”
