Vice President Kamala Harris condemned demonstrators who voiced support for Hamas and burned an American flag near the U.S. Capitol to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress on Wednesday, saying in a statement that "hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation."
Harris, now the likely Democratic nominee for president after President Biden dropped his reelection bid, denounced the protesters who engaged in "despicable acts" 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," the vice president said in the statement issued by her office. "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."
On Wednesday, demonstrators protesting U.S. support for Israel clashed with police near the Capitol before eventually reaching nearby Union Station, the capital's main train hub. Some protesters climbed up the flagpoles in front of the station and replaced the American flags with Palestinian flags. One American flag was set ablaze under an effigy of Netanyahu.

But of course these same "demonstrators" will show up for the DNC convention.
She was shamed into it.
Oh please if you believe this nonsense that suddenly she’s becoming mainstream conservative maybe liberals will start voting for Trump as the left-wing alternative to Kamala.
This is all a put on job to reframe this idiot Kamala as a conservative.
But BLM and Antifa are okay?
It would be no surprise to find that these pro-Hamas rioters include a lot of Antifa and BLM goons.
Obama must be coaching her on how to mask her true feelings
She gave BLM encouragement when they were burning flags in DC she has NO principles NONE typical politician which ever way the wind is blowing!!
And then you go to Detroit and k........
This tells me people are serious about her run for the WH. She is going to say the right things......in prepared statements of course.
Vice President Kamala Harris only condemned Wednesday’s anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protest and vandalism in Washington, DC, after Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance and others called her out for her silence.
Too little, too late.
And, she boycotted Netanyahu’s Congressional speech.
I knew it had to be something like that.
Free Republic comments never fail.
Day late and a dollah short, Cackles.
Didn't she do that when BLM burned and rioted?
Does anybody truly believe this?
Her own relatives are self professed Jew haters
This tells me people are serious about her run for the WH. She is going to say the right things......in prepared statements of course
The dems are dragging their feet so there really will be no time for a public debate between Kamala and Trump and the prepared statements will be how she’s known.
Statements not said on camera are a cop out. It allows these crooks to play both sides.
Yep. I hear Steven Crowder playing clips about BLM when they were murdering people and burning down buildings as they set people’s cars afire.
Well how about playing it smart and don’t hit her on things like this right away. Wait 3 or 4 days THEN shame her. Thr longer you wait the more effective.
The ONLY reason why she said anything is because JD Vance called her out on it..so she was forced to say something..not like she gives a rats ass about Jews
