“We witnessed an assault on America’s democracy,” the vice president-elect said.
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris addressed the violence that rocked Capitol Hill last week during an interview with NPR on Thursday, calling the attack highly reminiscent of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the lynching of Emmett Till.
“It was a day that wherein we witnessed an assault on America’s democracy, a day when we witnessed the terror that a few can wreak on so many,” Harris said. “It will be in history recorded as one of the worst days in terms of an attack on the integrity of our democracy.”
When asked about the Confederate flag, noose and other disturbing symbols associated with white supremacy that were spotted during the riots, Harris said she was reminded of both the deadly rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and the lynching of Till in 1955. The 14-year-old was killed in Mississippi after a white woman falsely accused him of making sexual advances.
“Sadly, it is not the first time I have seen a demonstration like what you are describing in the history of our country,” she said. ...............................

And since "people" don't necessarily "change" over a century (other than some of the slang) that mob frenzy we saw was probably no different than that of a century ago or even 60+ years ago with the Emmett Till incident.
And there's a complete lack of "self-awareness" of this dumbass who doesn't seem to realize that she'd be the first to be targeted and "deported" because she don't look "'Merican" -
