Social media users have been sharing a video of Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris saying that anti-racism protests will not and should not stop, claiming that it shows she supports Black Lives Matter riots.
Harris condemned violent protests on Aug. 27 after multiple nights of looting and two violent deaths.
She
said, “It’s no wonder people are taking to the streets and I support
them. We must always defend peaceful protest and peaceful protestors. We
should not confuse them with those looting and committing acts of
violence, including the shooter who was arrested for murder. And make no
mistake, we will not let these vigilantes and extremists derail the
path to justice.” ( here )
