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.
Burning the flag is protected speech. Dont want to see it burned? Make the country less shitty
I’m finna burn me a flag tomorrow. Hell, they’re cheap enough I could probs burn one a day all the way up to the election
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.
The country that also is still trying to eliminate its indigenous peoples has no “ideals” to live up to.
I highly recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - an indigenous people’s history of the US.
Wdym? Aren’t we living up to our nation’s ideals of genocide? /s
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!
