The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League on Thursday said he has spoken with Vice President Kamala Harris' office after the vice president's interaction earlier in the week with a student at George Mason University, who criticized the US' funding of Israel and Saudi Arabia while asking Harris a question.
"Just spoke with @VP office. Glad to hear her confirm she is proud of her record supporting #Israel, and knows claim it is committing 'ethnic genocide' is patently false," CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted Thursday. "Looking fwd to a clearing of the record so there's no ambiguity that what that student said was hateful/wrong,"
While visiting a political science class at George Mason University on Tuesday to honor national voter registration day, Harris took questions from three students, including one who brought up the nation's funding of Israel in a lengthy question.
