SourceVice President Kamala Harris praised a student who accused Israel of committing "ethnic genocide" and encouraged her speech, saying, "Your truth cannot be suppressed."
Harris — who just finished making a speech at George Mason University in order to commemorate National Voter Registration Day — was taking questions from the audience when a young female student who identified herself as "part Yemeni, part Iranian" asked Harris about funding to Israel and Saudi Arabia, the New York Post reports.
Referring to the Palestinian cause, Fox News reported, the unnamed student said, "I see that over the summer, there have been, like, protests and demonstrations in astronomical numbers standing with Palestine, but then just a few days ago, there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel — which hurts my heart because it's an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people — the same that happened in America — and I'm sure you're aware of this."
"I'm glad you did," Harris responded. "I'm glad you did. And again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth should not be suppressed."
