Kamala Harris said nationwide protests are 'not going to stop'

Sen. Harris’ remarks came during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on June 17. At the time, nationwide protests were underway following the death of George Floyd, a Black man, in Minneapolis police custody.

“They’re not going to stop,” Harris said at the time. “This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that on both levels. They’re not going to let up and they should not and we should not.”

Harris’s appearance on the show occurred roughly about two months before Democratic nominee Joe Biden picked her to be his running mate. The security of U.S. cities amid protests that have occasionally turned violent in recent months has emerged as a key issue in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.
