I attended the harris walz event in milwaukee ln thrilled to support the first female president. I cheered in my seat for four hours waiting for harris. I did not protest. but because I wore a shirt that said free gaza, multiple armed police and dems officials kicked me out 🧵 Image I even put on a sweatshirt that said “wisdems2020” and waved the sign when they asked me to. my gaza shirt was (sadly) covered when the dems party member who forced me out said point blank, “the democratic party does not want you here.” I cannot express how much this hurts ⬇️ Image
