    I just watched the video and it didn’t say she denounced the protesters, it said she was one of the officials who strongly condemned the graffiti, flag burning, and raising the Palestinian flag. Specifically those actions. Not the protesters themselves or the fact that they were protesting at all.

    If your statement was based on that segment alone, then I would say you mischaracterized the situation in a way that makes Harris come off worse.

      Was it not the protestors doing those things that she denounced though? I’m pretty sure it was.

      In the article it said protestors were doing those things and she denounced it.

        I wasn’t in anyway even trying to imply that these actions weren’t carried out by protesters. That wasn’t the point I was making. Can’t you see the difference between “I think it was wrong to do XYZ at the protest” and “I don’t think there should be a protest”?
