JULY 25, 2024

Statement by Vice President Kamala Harris

Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington, D.C. we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protestors and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric.

I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent and we must not tolerate it in our nation.

I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way.

I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.

    You didn’t KICK him out… He still likely would have won tbh. But Kamala is a better fit. People are excited for the first time

    And demand she steps down? You’re not asking her to step down, you’re seemingly trying to let Trump win… Because he will if she does.

    And if trump wins, the consequences will be dire… Worldwide… It will be a return to bigotry, anti-environment and he’s already given hints that he’ll try to extend his term to be permanent…

    With him on charge, we might as well give up on global warming and accept it… It’s REALLY bad.

    Based on everything I’ve seen, Kamala will likely fight for the people… Not for herself. There is so much more else going on, and despite this, I believe she’ll do an amazing job

      Nah, I want someone who can actually beat Trump. Hilary lost because she was too far right. Harris will loose because she was too far right.

      We need someone who will actually meet the demands of the younger generation (West, Sanders, AOC, etc). Otherwise Trump will win.

      Learn from history.

        People don’t see her as far right… because she’s really not conservative at all…

        At least imho.

        The problem with someone like AOC is that they’ll instantly brand her as too young
