Harris Campaign Designer Advocated for Arson in Past Tweets

 July 30, 2024

An investigation has unveiled disturbing social media posts by a key figure linked to Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.

According to Western Journal, a burned body was discovered in an area where a lead staffer for Harris had previously endorsed arson in 2020, as reported by Ngo.

Ana Cheree Rice, employed for Vice President Kamala Harris's 2020 presidential campaign, has been spotlighted by conservative journalist Andy Ngo for her controversial social media behaviors. Over three years, Rice overtly supported acts like arson and looting via her Twitter account.

Detailed Timeline of Rice's Inflammatory Posts

Her first notable post emerged amid the May 2020 Minneapolis riots, where Rice encouraged the burning of property. This pattern continued with similar content in June 2020 during the Atlanta riots and in August 2020 about property destruction in Kenosha.

In September 2020, Rice expressed clear endorsement of looting. By May 2023, following the death of Jordan Neely, she once again advocated for arson via her social media, suggesting that more property be burned down.

Real-World Consequences of Rice's Online Rhetoric

It was reported that Montez Terri Lee, a man convicted in 2022 for arson that led to a fatality at the Max It Pawn Shop in Minneapolis, was influenced by Rice's tweets. His words during the act echoed her tweeted sentiments: "We're gonna burn this down."

Despite the alarming nature of her past tweets, Rice has recently received a commendation from Harris campaign officials for her role in redesigning the Vice President's campaign logo. This demonstrates the campaign’s complex position regarding her contributions vis-à-vis and controversial history.

Public and Campaign Reactions to Rice's Controversial Rhetoric

Rice’s repeated incitements highlight ongoing issues concerning the personal conduct of public campaign officials and their impact on societal behavior. The juxtaposition of her pivotal role in a prominent national campaign against her advocacy for illegal activities has stirred extensive debate regarding accountability and influence.

Given the gravity of the charges linked to her actions, including a direct connection to a crime resulting in death, the scrutiny around Rice expectedly intensifies. The situation raises profound questions about the vetting process for individuals occupying positions capable of swaying public opinion and action.

Accountability of Influential Political Figures

As her statements resurfaced through investigative reporting, discussions have pivoted toward individual accountability and the responsibilities of those who maintain influential platforms in political spheres.

The ongoing debate concentrates on the ramifications of public figures who resist disavowing problematic stances. This is compounded by the challenges of addressing past behaviors that clash starkly with present duties and ethical expectations in political advocacy.

Recapping Ana Cheree Rice’s trajectory from a vocal advocate of destructive actions on social media to a praised campaign designer encapsulates the complex challenges facing political campaigns today.

Her controversial history, combined with her creative contributions, underscores an ongoing contraposition between past behaviors and current valorizations, stirring significant public and political discourse on the nature of redemption, influence, and accountability within lofty campaign echelons.
