Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the actions of anti-Israel protesters in Washington, D.C., who burned American flags and displayed pro-Hamas graffiti during demonstrations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress. Describing the actions as 'despicable' and 'unpatriotic,' she emphasized the American flag's significance as a symbol of national ideals that should never be desecrated. Harris specifically denounced any affiliation with Hamas, which she labeled a brutal terrorist organization, and stated that hate-fueled rhetoric has no place in the nation. The protests resulted in several arrests and drew criticism from various political figures. Harris's statements come as she navigates the complex political landscape of the Israel-Hamas conflict during her presidential campaign. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans replaced the burned flags at Union Station in response to the protests.
