Green Party candidate Jill Stein says Kamala Harris “cannot” win the November election and will be part of the effort to stop her.
The far-left Stein is often considered a spoiler candidate who threw away Hillary Clinton’s 2016 votes. She’s back on the ballot in 2024 and determined to make a statement.
Stein believes that anti-Israel sentiment — along with rhetoric about the Jewish state committing “genocide” — from Muslims and Arab Americans in swing states like Michigan will ultimately deny Harris the presidency in November.
“The Democrats cannot win without the support of the American Muslim community,” she said. “And that community has left the station and is not coming back unless the Democrats decide that it is more important to them to win the election than to carry out the genocide.”
She also called for the impeachment of Secretary of State Antony Blinken for allegedly lying to Congress about Israel’s disruption of aid to the Gaza Strip.

She believes anti-Israel sentiment – including the belief that the Jewish state is committing “genocide” – from Muslims and Arab Americans in swing states like Michigan will deny Harris the presidency in November.
“This was a lie on his part to continue this war, which is now expanding very dangerously,” Stein said Newsweek.
Stein — currently polling in the single digits but the most fervently anti-Israel candidate on the ballot — has laid out what Democrats need to do to sway her voters.
‘So they have to do something about the genocide and they don’t seem willing to do that. They could win those votes back, but it doesn’t look like that’s on the cards. So it appears they are sacrificing several swing states,” she said.
She says Harris will lose enough Muslim and Arab voters to win the election for Trump. Most polls show her within the margin of error, tying or losing to Trump in places like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Instead, Stein claims those voters are choosing to embrace her candidacy.
Polls from the Council on American Islamic Relations have shown this to be the case Stein leads Harris and even Trump among Muslim voters in states like Wisconsin and Michigan.
“We’re reaching out to a lot of different groups all the time, but it’s actually Muslim Americans and Arab Americans who have really taken on this campaign as if it were their own, as if they have a tremendous amount of ownership over it,” she said.
A spokesperson for the Democrats says he does not believe the hype.

“Jill Stein is a spoiler for Trump, working hand-in-hand with Republican advisers and Trump’s former personal attorney to get her on the ballot in swing states. This will be a close election and the only way to stop Donald Trump is to vote for Vice President Harris,” the DNC’s Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
Stein was arrested in April at Washington University in St. Louis as campus chaos linked to the Israeli-Hamas war spread across the country in response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack that killed more than a thousand Israelis perished.
Stein, 73, and members of her campaign staff joined pro-Palestinian protests at the college in St. Louis, Missouri, as the 2024 candidate clashed with law enforcement.
WashU students are among those participating in nationwide campus protests over their university’s ties to the war in Gaza.
Stein also joined protesters Friday at Columbia University, where anti-Israel demonstrators have taken over the campus with an encampment that they are refusing to tear down despite threats from the college.
She claims Columbia is writing a “blank check” to fund the war in Gaza because its donation includes investments in Microsoft, which sells computers to the Israeli military.
The others arrested along with her team include campaign manager Jason Call and deputy campaign manager Kelly Merrill-Cayer.
Before she was handcuffed, Stein made a video describing her actions.

“We stand here with the students of WashU, standing up for our constitutional rights, and standing up for the American people who want to end this genocide now,” she said in a selfie-style video.
“The police are gathered here,” she added, looking at an image of a full police force, “and we are going to line up here with the students.”
In the background of the video, you can hear the students chanting, “Hold the line.”
“Jill and others worked with police to de-escalate before they started arresting people,” a message from Stein’s X account claims.
Holding a megaphone in her hands but speaking without speaking, Stein told law enforcement officers, “We can avoid the embarrassment and humiliation that will befall this administration if it attacks peaceful protesters who are simply calling for peace and human rights and the end of the war. into a genocide that the American people abhor.”
