The second evening of the Democratic National Convention is getting underway in Chicago, and complete chaos and bedlam is breaking out on the streets near the DNC event.
Thousands of pro-Hamas protesters are causing havoc in the streets, as they are demanding that Kamala Harris promise to stop supporting Israel.
While Democrat delegates were holding their “vote” to make Kamala Harris their presidential nominee, a huge mob of protesters were involved in a major standoff with police out on the streets.
Police are heard shouting, “Move back! Move back” as they physically push the protesters back.

FLAGS BURNED: Tuesday evening, the protesters set fire to an Israel-American flag on the street, while chanting, “F**k the pigs! F**k the pigs!”

After that burned, they tossed a real American flag on the pile and started to burn it too. Journalist Ben Bergquam ran forward and tried to grab it. The protesters snatched the flag back and pushed Bergquam out of the way. After he was pushed back, they then lit the American flag on fire.

“ANTIFA communist thugs just burned a half Israeli half American flag, but when they went to burn the American flag, I couldn’t sit back and watch,” Bergquam declared.
However, they did burn it after all.

At the same time all this was going on in Chicago, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are holding a separate rally in Wisconsin – and pro-Palestine protesters just crashed their rally.
Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez shared a video and explained, “Kamala’s rally in Milwaukee has been crashed by pro-Palestinian protestors screaming “Free Palestine.” They could be heard throughout the arena until they were removed.”
