    Bullshit. I just watched that speech, and there was no chant — it was clearly one person saying “lock him up”, and they didn’t even repeat it. And she was grinning before that applause break, not in response to a random heckle at the end of it. Wtf is this.

          Idk, to my ears, it could’ve been either. It’s a bit like the Laurel/Yanny thing or the blue and bronze dress. Would need someone who was there to confirm.

            Yeah, I was thinking the same tbh. All you can really say is whatever it is has 3 syllabuls, it’s so muffled everything else is pareidolia.

            Honestly who the fuck cares. Some random people maybe started a chant at a political rally, candidate smiles…the fuck is this “news” story?

            I put on my sony wh-1000xm5’s to get as clear audio as I could. The first few chants could be interpreted as “lock him up” but it quickly turned to a clear “Ka-ma-la” once the cheering and clapping reduced.

            At 8:34 there was a single clear “lock him up” after Harris mentioned Trump’s recent conviction.

            So that’s settled now, I they weren’t chanting “lock him up”

            I’m unable to hear lock him up much at all. “Loh 'im uh!” is the closest I can get when forcing it… I’m just not hearing any Ks or Ps at the end of those words, no matter how hard I try.

        It’s “Ka-ma-la”… I just replayed it over and over, trying to hear “lock him up”, and at this point I feel like I’m trying to unfocus my eyes at a Jackson Pollock and expecting to see a schooner.

      don’t be like that, they are just saying that the two events happened at the same time. “Kamala Harris grins as the world marks new hottest day on record”, “Kamala Harris grins as hundreds more flights get cancelled after huge IT outage”. See? Perfectly innocent journalism!
