Trump: ‘Kamala Harris Supporters Burned American Flags … And Desecrated Our Monuments’

Former President Donald Trump said during a rally in Florida on Friday that the pro-Hamas extremists who rioted in the nation’s capital this week were supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee this week.

Trump’s comments come after the far-Left rioters tore down American flags and burned them while chanting “Allahu Akbar” and waving Hamas terrorist flags.

The United States Park Police (USPP) released a statement saying that officers had arrested eight extremists at the riot at Columbus Circle because they “damaged and destroyed park property, including vandalizing statues and fountains, tearing down and burning flags, and starting several small fires.”

“Within days of the heinous October 7th attack on Israel, Kamala Harris praised the anti-Israel protesters,” Trump said. “She praised them. She betrayed America’s ally and sided with the radical fringe of her party, only for political gain, maybe for personal gain. I don’t know.”

“And this week, many of those Kamala Harris supporters burned American flags in the heart of our nation’s capital and desecrated our monuments,” he continued. “They sprayed very powerful spray paint into limestone. Magnificent. The lions, the bells. You saw it. And, you know, when that gets into limestone, you never really get it out. You’ll see it in 100 years from now. They desecrated it.”
