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"
