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.

That is absolutely not why he stepped out of the race.

    Are you not following the news? The huge uncommitted movement started the call for him to step down.

    And he would've ignored them if it wasn't for the terrible debate performance. It was really only the age thing, Kamala is going to run on the exact same policies. If you thought there was going to be a change on Gaza policy I don't know what to tell you.
