More Twitter Hypocrisy in the Twittersphere

Vice President Kamala Harris’ ambitious niece, Meena Harris, sent out a tweet on Monday. Her tweet received 6,564 retweets, 35,700 likes, and over 300 quote tweets before Harris deleted it. Like so many on Twitter, Meena blamed white men for the violent shooting in Boulder.

“The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country,” Harris tweeted.

In her deleted tweet, Harris wrote, “I saw Boulder trending and I immediately knew. My heart is with everyone affected by this horrific tragedy.”

After deleting her tweet, Harris explained on Twitter, writing  “I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting. I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men.”
