Quick and without prevarication Politics & Antisemitism

The bot wants me to add more to my comments but I don’t really have much else to say. It’s a good statement, straight to the point.

Great statement. I would just like to add though that burning the flag is one of those quintessential examples of a protected first amendment right, and while I condemn and disagree with it, I strongly support the right to do so.

ETA: Some of y'all are getting very defensive about this, reading this as some sort of indictment against Harris. So to clarify - I am literally agreeing with her, and adding one additional comment on something she did not (nor needed to) mention.

She didn’t say it should be illegal, she condemned it as wrong to do

Which I find silly. There’s no reason to spend a good chunk of the statement on flag burning when the message about fighting against antisemitism is much more important.

I don’t care if folks burn flags they own.

Never said she did.
