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.

Fucking hope this site is in no way representative of the voting population, because Jesus Christ.

That, or all the "I'm totally a progressive that suddenly learned about Gaza last week and refuse to vote for Biden because of it" astroturfing is shifting their gears to Harris.

They were looking for a new unified attack vector, and then she went and said this and they realized they could just keep doing the same old tired shit.

Reminder: if you give a single shit about Palestine or the people who live there, you will do everything you can to prevent Trump and down ballot Republicans from winning. At all costs.

If you can't see the forest for the trees, you're gonna find out real quick what happens in Gaza when Trump wins. Assuming you actually give a shit about those people and aren't just using them as political pawns to try to change the sentiment regarding Kamala Harris.

Great job justifying your vote for a pro-genocide candidate! You used a lot of words and did a nice whataboutism on Trump instead of focusing on how she's going to continue to support Israel no matter what they do just like Joe did. 🚩

Dead on with that.
