Chants of "We love Joe!" broke out during President Joe Biden's speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night when a banner unfurled reportedly reading, "Stop arming Israel."
Videos posted on the social media site X showed onlookers looking behind them to look at the sign amid a sea of blue "We [heart] Joe" signs.
As audience members saw the banner, they chanted “We love Joe." One man reportedly tried to rip the banner away, wrote Prem Thakker of Zeteo News.
Stadium lights over the banner dimmed, he said, and the banner was ripped away.
