Here’s Iranian-state television sharing a clip of the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, taking questions from a George Mason student to commemorate National Voter Registration Day:

Student accuses US of funding “ethnic genocide” by Israel in front of VP Harris

“Americans are struggling because of a lack of health care, public health care, lack of affordable housing and all this money ends up going to Israel..” the student said at an event on VOTING RIGHTS! pic.twitter.com/n2lTSU4qp3

The above exchange is a strong reminder that there are plenty of people who shouldn’t be registering to vote for the good of the nation. This particular student, for example, laments that the “funds allocated to continue backing Israel” — by which she means aid for the defensive Iron Dome system that hampers Hamas’s ability to rain rockets down on civilians — “hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people, the same that happened in America, and I’m sure you’re aware of this.” She claims that the alleged redirection of funding is at fault for a “lack of health care, public health care, lack of affordable housing” in the United States.

My heart hurts because humans internalize ugly fantasies about the world and become Marxists. My head hurts because rather than dissuading stupid people from spreading their ideas, the vice president tells them that she is “glad” they’re voicing concerns: “And again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth, should not be suppressed, and it must be heard, right? And one of the things we’re fighting for in a democracy, right?”
