The Democratic National Convention had already seen its share of action when one protester received a “We love each other Joe” sign.
The protester, a woman wearing a hijab, had held up a “Stop Arming Israel” banner during a speech by President Joe Biden, after which an aide can be seen hitting her on the head with the long sign.

In a less violent version of protesting the anti-Israel message, WaPo reporter Dylan Wells reported that delegates tried to cover the banner with their own “We Love Joe” signs.
First protest I've seen inside the arena: a banner that says “Stop arming Israel.”
Delegates blocked the sign with “we ❤️ Joe” signs and the convention hall turned off the light illuminating the section as the protesters were removed. pic.twitter.com/6XYaCk6XwF

At another point, attendees tried to tear the banner from the protesters:
Audience members at the DNC in Chicago unfurl a banner that reads “Stop Arming Israel.”
After the audience sees the banner, they start singing “We love Joe”.
The man tries to tear off the banner.
The lights in the stadium above that spot went out and the banner was torn down. pic.twitter.com/3RfK1aUSV4

X users shared their thoughts on the mayhem:
Can we identify this guy? He should be prevented from staying at the DNC. The Democrats have reclaimed Islamaphobia to serve their genocidal policies of Palestinians.
Of course, liberals will just say, “That's just a guy,” while Democrats are murdering Muslims every day.

Can you imagine being one of those who think that trying to hide the sign from the public is the right thing to do?

Just a bunch of vile anti-Palestinian racists who pretend to care about democracy while voting for genocide.

Democratic convention-goers chanting “We love Joe” after seeing a “Stop Arming Israel” banner might as well be chanting “We love genocide.”
