During Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to the Goyoco community center in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she found herself unexpectedly immersed in a moment of protest disguised as a performance. As she stood in the courtyard, surrounded by Mariana Reyes, the executive director at La Goyco, and Frankie Miranda, president of the Hispanic Federation, a man began singing in Spanish.
Initially, Harris, in a gesture of courtesy, nodded and clapped along with the singing, unaware of the protester's true intentions. However, the atmosphere quickly shifted when one of her aides discreetly informed her of the actual message behind the song.
The lyrics, translated to English, conveyed a direct message to the vice president: "We want to know, Kamala, what did you come here for? We want to know what she thinks of the colony. Long live Free Palestine and Haiti, too."
This abrupt revelation prompted Harris to cease her applause abruptly, her expression reflecting a mix of surprise and understanding. The incident underscored the nuanced and sometimes contentious issues surrounding Puerto Rico's political status and the sentiments of its inhabitants.
Despite the unexpected disruption, Harris's visit was intended to highlight federal aid efforts in response to the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Maria. The juxtaposition of the protest against the backdrop of her official visit emphasized the complexities inherent in addressing the concerns of Puerto Ricans and navigating the territory's relationship with the United States.
