15 Things We Saw at the Democratic National Convention

Tim Kennedy | Tony Kinnett •   August 19, 2024

CHICAGO—The Daily Signal is on the ground at the Democratic National Convention, where Democrats will formally nominate Vice President Kamala Harris for president and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for vice president.

We saw crowds begin to form on Sunday and filmed anti-Israel protesters breaking through the security perimeter on Monday.

Here’s a list of what our Daily Signal reporting team has seen so far.

1. A Trans-Woman Pro-Palestine Rabbi

Truly a sight to behold.

2. Reproductive Justice Means What, Exactly?

Oh right, the Left’s omni-cause.

3. ‘Piggy Piggy Go Back Home’

4. ‘Leading’ the Protesters

Here we are, right at the front! When will they realize?

Watch out, Ohio!

5. A ‘Political Prisoner’

6. Kamala Not Welcome

What’s this we hear about Kamala Harris being popular?

7. Protesters in Chaos

8. ‘Make It Great Like 68’

For those who need a refresher on what happened the last time the Democratic National Convention took place in Chicago, here’s Jarrett Stepman’s commentary on 1968.

9. The Lone Counter-Protester

“God bless America” gets a negative response…

10. Blood on Her Hands?

These anti-Israel protesters are not exactly fans of the vice president.

11. Netanyahu Sighting

The barbie Netanyahu, that is…

12. Smoke Bombs

Body armor, smoke bombs, just another day at the DNC in Chicago.

13. No Justice, No… Jungle Gyms?

Hmm…. Maybe these people won’t actually be taking over the DNC.

14. Protesters Breached the Perimeter!

The protesters broke through the Secret Service perimeter.

The Chicago Police Department claimed it “immediately” contained the situation.

They’re breaking in…

Some protesters physically relocated some of the fencing in an attempt to prevent police from restoring it.

15. Police Restore Order

Authorities work to clear a park after the perimeter breach.
