A number of blue-check Twitter users, journalists, authors, and actors were quick to assume that the Boulder, Colorado shooter who killed ten people, including a police officer, was a “white man.” Kamala Harris’ niece was one of the many who jumped to conclusions about the shooter.
Some reactions: Meena Harris deleted a tweet that read, “The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country.”
She deleted the tweet and tried again, although many people disputed her claims in that Tweet as well.
