Kamala Harris is receiving a lot of backlash for her recent comments following a visit with Jacob Blake – a young man who was shot 7 times in the back by police when he resisted arrest after he violated a restraining order at his ex-girlfriends home.
Harris left the meeting and said she was “proud” of Mr. Blake.
Mr. Blake is accused of recently raping his former girlfriend with his fingers while her son slept next to her. Mr. Blake then reportedly “smelled” his fingers and accused her of sleeping with other men.
This is a horrific allegation and the reason why he was not allowed at her house and why police were called to the scene.
The “Jacob Blake” story has really incensed me because of this very recent “rape” accusation. I am a sexual assault survivor. Without going into all the gory details, I was “roofied” in a bar and assaulted in the backseat of my own car in a parking lot.
So, I, like any decent person, has a really serious issue with glorifying a man who is accused of raping a woman while her child slept next to her.
Many people called out Kamala for insulting every single woman out there who has been sexually assaulted by claiming she’s “proud” of an accused rapist.
Here are some of the responses:
“PROUD of him? He’s accused of breaking into a sleeping woman’s house, sexually assaulting her, humiliating her & later returning to harass her. Then the cops she called for help say he resisted arrest, assaulted them & went for his knife. How about a word for his victim, Senator?”

“Kamala Harris told Jacob Blake that she is proud of him. He raped someone and violated a restraining order multiple times. He had a warrant out for his arrest. He resisted and was shot. Now he is honored like a saint. Imagine how his victim feels.”

It’s possible to support police reform and retraining cops without glorifying criminals and people who harm others.
This is sending such a confusing message to women who have been sexually assaulted when we glorify sexual predators.
You can call for reform, protest, and demand better from your police without turning someone like Jacob Blake into a civil rights hero.

Yes, he deserves his day in court, but his alleged victim also deserves respect, and so do all of the women who have been sexually assaulted.
His police encounter should be thoroughly investigated and if cops did anything wrong, they should be punished.
But in order to do all of that, we don’t have to turn him into a hero.
Find a way to fight for your “reform” without creating new victims and sending a message to men and women all over the country that sexual assault is somehow “okay” and “brave” and “heroic.”
It’s a dangerous, disgusting, and insulting message.
