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.

Not bullshit. They’re not talking about the heckle they’re talking about the 10 seconds of chanting at 7:18. Watch again. https://youtu.be/2soe8ml_weg?si=uJqnlGGNU4SF8im_

I hear "KA-MA-LA" pretty clearly there, I really can't make it out as "lock him up".

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?

Do we finally have our own version of "Let's go Brandon"??

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

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.

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"

To be fair, I only listened to it through my phone speakers
