BREAKING NEWS – Boulder, Colorado – Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece said Tuesday she assumed the suspected mass shooter in Colorado was a White man in part because he was taken into custody alive, leading to accusations she engaged in racial profiling.
Meena Harrris was forced to delete a tweet erroneously assuming the race of the suspected killer of 10 people in a Boulder grocery store, after it was revealed he was of Syrian descent.
“The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country,” Meena Harris tweeted.
Now that 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa is in custody for the shooting, Harris admitted her assumption was based on him “being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men.” She later doubled down, “Even though Al Aliwi Alissa wasn’t white, he was probably influenced by a white man, so that unknown culprit should be located and arrested too!”
