Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted a Democratic afterparty event in Harlem, New York, on August 14, following a campaign rally for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The demonstration escalated as smoke bombs were set off at the outdoor restaurant hosting the event, leading to multiple arrests by the New York Police Department. Protesters were seen waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans criticizing U.S. support for Israel.

The rally, which was attended by notable Democratic leaders including New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams, and Congressman Adriano Espaillat, was met with hostility from the protesters. Demonstrators, some of whom were wearing keffiyehs, clashed with law enforcement outside the restaurant, causing significant disruption. Video footage from the event shows protesters accusing Harris of contributing to the conflict in Gaza, reflecting broader criticisms of the Biden administration's stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
