Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris asked supporters in June to donate to Minnesota rioters who were arrested, in a tweet now earning her criticism after condemning rioters' violence this weekend.
Over the weekend, Harris and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned the violence seen in recent days, specifically in Portland, Oregon, where one person was shot dead Saturday night.
Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton resurrected Harris's June tweet Sunday, slamming it as a flip-flop on her support of rioters who have caused destruction in multiple major cities across the country.
"Kamala Harris helped violent rioters in Minnesota get out of jail to do more damage," Cotton tweeted.
Donald Trump Jr. also took issue with her June tweet.
Others have also echoed the sentiments of Cotton and Trump Jr. Support for Black Lives Matter protests has been slipping in recent months, according to a poll out of Wisconsin.
Forty-eight percent of Wisconsin residents support Black Lives Matter protests and 48% disapprove, according to a Marquette Law School poll conducted between Aug. 8 and Aug. 9.
