During 'violent' Black Lives Matter protests, a Super PAC that was against President Biden said that Vice President Kamala Harris was part of 'an insurrection against the United States of America.'
The group is trying to get back at the House Democrats who are looking into what role former President Donald Trump played in the riots at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
The Committee to Defeat the President, which Democrats called a publicity stunt, is now going after Harris instead of Biden, who will be 79 in 2024. This is a big deal because most Democrats don't want Biden to run again in 2024.
"In light of the violent riots and looting caused by Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters, Vice President Kamala Harris was and is engaged in an insurrection against the United States of America based on her involvement and support of the BLM movement by praising, supporting, and encouraging BLM protestors, supporting a BLM bail fund, and participating in BLM protests/marches," Ted Harvey, chairman of the Committee to Defeat the President, said in a
Harvey said that Harris's actions make her "ineligible to run for Federal office under the Fourteenth Amendment, and you should keep her off the ballot for Vice President in 2024."
The same complaint was made against Rep. Maxine Waters of Los Angeles by the same group to the Secretary of State of California.
“It’s about time that Kamala Harris and Maxine Waters were held accountable for the Black Lives Matter riots that brought crime and chaos to America. Democrats who explicitly incite insurgency should not be allowed to run for federal office,” Harvey said.
Democrats laughed when a right-wing group said that protests over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis were the same as when supporters of former President Trump broke into the U.S. Capitol to try to change the results of the 2020 election.
“They are comparing actual rioting at the nation’s Capitol building by President Trump’s supporters to promote the lie that the 2020 election was stolen and that led to the death of a Capitol police officer with a legitimate political protest,” said New York State Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs.
“At best, this is a distraction. At worst, you’re part of a dangerous conspiracy to upend the democratically-elected government of the United States,” added Jacobs.
When Hillary Clinton ran for president, the group was first called StopHillary.Com. When Trump was president and ran for re-election, it changed its name to the Committee to Defend the President. Now, the activists are trying to stop Biden and Harris from winning.
The group that doesn't like Biden said that its complaint about Harris was about what the vice president did, not about whether or not Biden will run for re-election.
“No, it’s just that the evidence of Harris’ egregious, insurrectionist conduct is obvious and easily pointed to. Joe Biden barely got out of the basement enough to say or do much of anything,” a rep for the group said.
