FULL TITLE: Kamala Harris flip-flops on attending criminal justice forum, after announcing boycott over Trump award
In a bizarre back-and-forth on her attendance, Kamala Harris said Saturday she would, in fact, go to a criminal justice forum in South Carolina, despite very publicly announcing she would boycott the event due to a sponsoring group’s decision to give an award to President Trump.
The 2020 presidential hopeful on Friday announced that she would skip the 2019 Second Step Presidential Justice Forum at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina, after the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center awarded the president for his efforts to pass sweeping criminal justice reform legislation.
Harris, D-Calif., and Trump traded barbs on Twitter Saturday morning—with Trump calling Harris a “badly failing presidential candidate,” and Harris suggesting the president is a “criminal.”
But by midday, Harris had come around, with a campaign announcement that she would, in fact, be attending the forum, with her campaign claiming that she successfully pressured the group that awarded the president to be dropped as a sponsor.
“After Senator Kamala Harris stood up and objected to their group awarding Trump and excluding HBCU students from participating, the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center was removed as a sponsor for the criminal justice forum at Benedict College,” the Harris campaign said in a statement Saturday. “After their removal, Harris announced she will join students, Mayor Steve Benjamin and the broader Columbia community on campus at Benedict to discuss critical issues for the country’s justice system.”
A spokesman for the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
The organization on Friday awarded the president for his administration’s work to pass the First Step Act, which grants early release to thousands of nonviolent offenders who are currently serving time in federal prisons.

As President Harris would Boycott just about EVERYTHING ,LOL
No one was impressed with her virtue signaling?
It was a stupid idea on her part to skip it - now she looks wishy-washy, but she must have decided it will be a Trump-bashing opportunity.

Trump should absolutely make hay that despite their statements, democrats want to lengthen incarcerations of non-violent offenders. Democrats hate criminals after all. And since most of these offenders are people of color, it also means they hate persons of color.
dear ineligible Kamala,
go back to servicing Willie Brown
and
end your fraudulent money-grubbing “campaign”
(you’d think a person would have SOME conscious )
She should go back to India. Thank God she will never be President.
Heels-Up Harris just can’t seem to make up her mind.
I’ll bet the university was crushed. /s
President of the United States, or a discredited woman whose first political position involved a Willie, her mouth, and her knees.
I wonder if Willie had a problem with Kamala always changing positions?
Willie don’t want that stinky, crusty old ho no mo.
She is a virtue signaling virtuoso.
What a lousy candidate. That nomination was hers for the taking; she had all the qualifications the dems want; a vagina, non-white epidermis, and immigrant parents.
I wonder if Willie had a problem with Kamala always changing positions?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m sure he enjoyed it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Am I reading this right?
kamala making stoopid mistake going against HBCU.
apparently not, as Willie’s been backing another candidate not Kamala The Ineligible
(Willie was as corrupt a politician as they come, incidentally....)
Trump is just doing the work Obama didn’t have time for while house hunting In Martha’s Vineyard.
Lucky them. Another media whore invading So. Carolina like
a plague of syphilitic locusts.
Agreed...
