Social media users ripped Vice President Kamala Harris for what felt like an insincere statement following an attempted assassination of her rival.

In the wake of a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Harris issued a short statement that many felt spoke volumes in its brevity.

“I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe,” she said in a post on the VP’s official X account, time-stamped 3:42 p.m.

Notably, Harris did not refer to the breaking news as any kind of assassination attempt.

“Violence has no place in America,” she simply added in the post viewed over 9.5 million times.

Hours later, Harris would issue a full statement that was posted online. But it seemed too little, too late for many Americans on X.

Minutes after her first reaction post, X users torched the Democrat nominee.

“I am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today,” Harris said in a statement hours later.

“As we gather the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more to violence,” she added.

This lit the fire again on X where users showed the Democrat and her party no mercy.
