A newly resurfaced video of then-Sen. Kamala Harris in which she chants “down with deportation” has gone viral.
The clip, obtained by the Daily Mail, dates back to 2018 and features Harris alongside husband Doug Emhoff and disgraced hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett. It stems from an annual parade set up to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. which has since been hijacked by Los Angeles leftists.
In the video, Harris – who announced her presidential campaign the following year – chanted “up, up with education; down, down with deportation” alongside several others wearing a “Times Up!” t-shirt.
Former actor Smollett was also featured in the clip, who would later be found guilty of a hate crime hoax in which he claimed two men in MAGA hats attempted to lynch him. Before being thoroughly debunked, the now-Vice President posted about the “attack” on “one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know”.
“This was an attempted modern-day lynching,” she wrote in a still publicly available tweet about Smollett. “No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.”
Many conservatives mocked Harris shortly after the clip was posted online.
Other commentors noted other standpoints Harris may try to distance herself from now that she has a shot at the White House.
