Kamala Harris condemns pro-Hamas protests in Washington DC

Vice President Kamala Harris has strongly condemned pro-Hamas protesters who burned the American flag outside Union Station in Washington, DC, on Wednesday (24).

“Yesterday at Union Station in Washington, DC, we witnessed despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous rhetoric fueled by hate,” Harris wrote in a statement Thursday (25). “I condemn any individuals who associate themselves with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric are abhorrent and we must not tolerate them in our nation.”

Harris also condemned the “burning of the American flag,” calling the flag a “symbol of our highest ideals as a nation, representing the promise of America.”

“I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: anti-Semitism, hatred, and violence of any kind have no place in our nation,” Harris wrote.
