My heart is with you. And I hope that all Americans will join me in praying for everyone touched by this senseless tragedy," she said.Vice President Kamala Harris also offered support and solidarity with the Asian American community, saying the issue of violence should never be tolerated."I do want to say to our Asian American community that we stand with you and understand how this has frightened and shocked and outraged all people. But knowing the increasing level of hate crime against our Asian American brothers and sisters, we also want to speak out in solidarity with them and acknowledge that none of us should ever be silent in the face of any form of hate," Harris said.Meanwhile, an Asian American justice group has blamed white supremacy and racism as the cause for the Tuesday shooting and is calling for communities of color to band together to condemn racist violence, CNN reported.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
