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.

    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.
