STORYLINE:
A Michigan delegate was escorted out of President Joe Biden’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago .
Liano Sharon was part of a group protesters from the Abandon Biden movement unfurled a protest sign late Monday that read “STOP ARMING ISRAEL” in the Florida delegation section a few minutes after Biden began his speech.
Sharon said he planned to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris but he wanted to urge Biden to enact an arms embargo
"We put, we held up the banner. We didn’t actually drop it. They took it out of our hands. We held up the banner during Biden’s speech because he’s the decider. He’s the one that can do this right now," Sharon told reporters after being escorted out of the speech.
Israel’s counterattack in Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, and devastated much of the territory. The war has plunged the territory of 2.3 million people into a humanitarian catastrophe, with aid groups now fearing an outbreak of polio.
The sign was quickly wrestled away from the protesters and the lights in that section of the convention were turned off. Other convention goers responded to the protest by chanting “We love Joe” and holding up their banners in support of the president.
