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.

      The person, a leading presidential candidate and current vice president, skipping the meeting says a lot more than a statement put out by her staff.

        No, she planned to meet with him privately. she wasn’t skipping the speech out of moral principal, she just had a prior obligation

          Well I guess I’ll take yours and Jewishinsider.com’s word for it.

          According to ABC News “Harris pushes cease-fire after Netanyahu meets with her, Biden separately”

        Before? Who knows what she was going to say privately!

        But now this public statement is enough to tell us exactly what she’s going to say.
