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.

Omfg
God damnit stop supporting genocide too. Don’t be antisemitic but also genocide is bad too
How is calling out violence protests supporting genocide?
She’s not pushing down Palestine or pushing Israel up.
I am as confused as you are by this comment section. She’s also given statements that are anti-genocide as well. You can be opposed to multiple shitty things.
that sucks; i guess i’m not voting for kamala either.
Geez, people here really need to learn what the downvote button is for. I can’t see any reason why this statement would deserve a downvote
lemmy.world if full of shitlibs and; since they’re the biggest instance in this marxist/leninist social media network; downvotes should be expected.
Frankly it’s past time for the leftist instances to defederate from .world. They’ve made it clear what they support over there.
i like it the way it is now; we can see the them, but they can’t see us.
Things will be certifiably worse if you don’t.
all of our presidents have been enacting almost 75% of project 2025 recommendations since 1980 and they will continue to do so whether or not it’s kamala doing so.
It’s okay. You weren’t planning on voting for a Democrat anyways. Don’t kid yourself bro.
You and your two braincells can go pound sand.
for 4 days tried to trick myself into being a clueless voter like you so i can vote for kamala; but it turns out suffering at the hands of democrats and republics for almost 5 decades won’t let me.
Who are you voting for?
i haven’t figured that out yet.
kamala if she comes more strongly against the genocide; west or stein if she doesn’t.
lol there goes my support
Fooled me with missing that speech ngl
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”
It says she’s a coward lol
She planned to meet with him privately. she wasn’t skipping the speech out of moral principal, she just had a prior obligation
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.
Well I’ll be Martha, the Russian shill is not going to vote a democrat for president!?
What is this world coming to?
Burning the flag is protected speech. Dont want to see it burned? Make the country less shitty
She cars more about US flagg being burned than Palestinians being killed.
🤡🤡🤡
Another point: Don’t want it burned? Make a better looking flag
If it’s already charred looking, no one can even tell it’s been burned!
It’s true. Condemning burning the American flag is a just another form of covering your eyes or ears because you don’t like what people are saying. We should both strive to improve our country, listen to protestors, and live up to the American ideals of freedom.

Wdym? Aren’t we living up to our nation’s ideals of genocide? /s
She’s going for that undecided vote. She figures everyone that fears Trump will vote for her regardless (not an outrageous idea) so she needs to secure all the right-leaning individuals that know trump is a psychopath.
Politicians gonna politics.
She’s not chasing voters at all, she’s chasing donors. She’s also apparently whispering sweet nothings to Wall Street about firing Lina Kahn.
There is no undecided vote, Kamala is competing with leftists who are abstaining or voting third party. Nobody on Trump’s camp would vote for Kamala ever anyways, so if she pulled left she would get more voters, not lose them.
The DNC is fine with losing, though, so she won’t.
So she lasted how many days before disappointing me? Four.
Why are you disappointed that she’s speaking up against anti Semitism?
I don’t believe that you’re asking in good faith. And if you are, you’re fucking stupid. Fuck you.
I guess it’s easier to say fuck you than to answer a question while facing the hypocrisy of your view of the world
Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism, no matter how much western politicians like Kamala want to conflate the two.
Right, the problem is that a lot of the protesters don’t seem to know the difference either.
How did calling out violent protests disappoint you? Because she’s not supporting Israel or pushing down Palestine.
Another useful idiot.
where was the violence? burning flags is not violence. burning effigies of genocidal monsters is not violence. tagging graffiti and spraypainting a replica of the liberty bell is not violence. there weren’t any “violent” protests.
unless of course you mean the violence deployed by the state to crush dissent. you don’t mean that violence, though.
What violence? Nobody said anything about violence. The issue are protesters openly supporting Hamas.
OP literally said “violent protests”, reading comprehension my bro.
To be fair, this was already her modus operandi, she just has the spotlight for it now.
Common Kopala L.
Jesus, we kicked Biden out because he was supporting Israel. Is she really going full-swing into loosing support of the people?
We need to demand that she steps down.
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.
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
She’s not far right. She’s center-right. And lots of people just won’t vote for her
we kicked Biden out because he was supporting Israel
Nah, the wealthy donors kicked him out because they lost confidence in him, ostensibly because of his health. They don’t respond to the needs and opinions of their subjects.
Is she really going full-swing into loosing support of the people?
All day, because your support doesn’t matter to the rulers and their paymasters.
We need to demand that she steps down.
Sure, but again your demands don’t matter to the rulers and their paymasters.
I’m going to avoid the low hanging fruit of you taking the credit for Biden for the sake of Palestine and try to appeal to your sense of reason. This war in Palestine,like so many others around the world, is NOT something you get to vote on. Isreal is a near century old institution fully backed by the U.S. government. The vested money that goes into the continuing strife in the middle East has corrupted EVERY political candidate that has come to the forefront of U.S. politics. You won’t find a candidate out there that will openly oppose Israel.

here’s one that got blocked by the dnc twice
perhaps it’s not the candidates but rather the dnc or, atleast, a select few that won’t allow these candidates to have a real chance.
There are a few socialist and anti-war parties running in the US, like the party for socialism and liberation, the green party, and a few others.
Ok throw your vote away. Russian bots be on a losing kick all the sudden.
Please don’t post pictures of screenshots. Copy and paste the text.
Sorry, I’ll edit the body with it.
Hamas is bad. Palestine is good. Is it so hard for them to include that simple distinction?
Fuck Hamas, fuck terrorists. support civilians, life, liberty.
For those in the back, fuck Israeli government doing this absolutely genocide, support jews experiencing antisemitism.
So, it begins.
US History repeating itself, ad nauseum.
War criminal spotted
Remember folks, you can write anyone in you want!
Fuxk the two party regime, vote third party, deny them legitimacy
Enjoy your Trump presidency
we already had him once. it was about as shiti as the rest of them lol
democrats should learn how to run a campaign if they want the vote. not trump is not a platform.
All you have is Strawmen
I’m sure they’ll be really upset about the few dozen morons who do that.
Calling People exercising their Constitutional rights as moron because they didn’t vote for your “team”
🤡🤡
Y’all really working on OT campaigning for Kamala here haha
I feel as those most of the comments here are trying to push support away from Harris I.E republican fronts/bots.
-
nowhere does she condemn Palestine, ability to protest, freedom of speech.
-
she does condem violence, a terrorist organization (hamas) and willful damage.
-
nowhere does she actually support Israeli actions.
This is actually how comments from politicans and the police should be acting - you can protest, but it doesn’t allow willfull damage, violence or racism. America has been in a cold civil war for soo long you assume everything is an attack on your ideals.
