Original Note:
While it is true that Harris told Jacob Blake that she was "proud of him" he has never been tried for, or convicted of, sexual assault or rape. The riots in Kenosha, WI were as a result of precieved police brutality and racism not because of the actions of Blake. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kamala-harris-jacob-blake-proud/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Jacob_Blake https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/07/us/jacob-blake-assault-charges/index.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenosha_unrest https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sexual-assault-charge-against-jacob-blake-dismissed-plea-bargain-agreement-n1246851
