‘Harambe’ Chanters Cut Over ‘No Justice, No Peace’ Chanters During Fox Broadcast

September 26, 2016

A group of possible college students began chanting "Harambe" in response to a group of activists chanting "No justice, no peace" during a Fox News segment on Monday afternoon.

The broadcast was being aired live from outside the venue for Monday night’s presidential debate at Hofstra University in Long Island, N.Y.

Center for American Progress campaign director Emily Tisch Sussman and Donald Trump’s New York co-chair Joe Borelli were talking about expectations for Trump’s debate performance when the chants began.

One group of people started chanting, "No justice, no peace,"  a popular chant in recent years with the Black Lives Matter movement. Another group of people, possibly college students, started chanting "Harambe" in response to the other chant. Both chants went on for nearly a minute during the broadcast.

Harambe was the 17-year old gorilla from the Cincinnati Zoo that was shot and killed earlier this year by a zoo employee to save a 3-year old boy who fell into the gorilla’s enclosure. Since his death, Harambe has taken the internet by storm with memes. The Cincinnati Zoo even shut down their Twitter account last month because of all the memes that people were tweeting.
