I realize everything was running late and they were looking to cut, not add, speakers, but this was a lost opportunity.

It's worth listening to this video; her remarks would have been a real moment of unity in support of Harris/Walz.

Has she publicly diavowed hamas? There is nothing reported. Until Palestinians vigorously disavow hamas and violence against innocent civilians, I am dubious.
