Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff cut checks to a progressive legal group that pushed to defund the police and make Washington, D.C., a permanent “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants, documents show.
Legal Aid DC, a nonprofit organization in the district that works on housing law and represents low-income clients in other areas, received a $1,000 donation from Harris and Emhoff in 2023, according to a copy of their joint tax return. In 2021, the couple also directed $1,000 to Legal Aid DC, a Washington Examiner review of financial disclosures found.
News of the donations, which have not been reported on until now, comes as Harris faces scrutiny on the 2024 campaign trail over her support in 2020 for defunding the police and her handling of the border crisis. Harris has reversed course on a variety of her left-wing policy positions after becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. But the vice president’s willingness to fund Legal Aid DC as recently as 2023 could raise questions about her ties to controversial progressive activists — including after Harris selected Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who has been widely criticized over his response to the 2020 riots in Minnesota, as her running mate.
Formed in 1932, Legal Aid DC calls itself “the district’s oldest and largest civil legal services organization” helping to “make justice real in individual and systemic ways.” In 2020, as riots shook cities across the United States in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Legal Aid DC published a statement on its website by project coordinator Adam Jacobs noting that it “stands in solidarity with those speaking out, demonstrating, and demanding a country and society that will treat every one of its residents with dignity and respect.”

My shocked face....😳😴😴😴😴😴😴
Given the protection and the shielding of Harris and her ilk by the MSM, it will be very difficult to get the truth out to American voters.
ADS
WE care about this, but the leftists will see this as a GOOD thing, and proof that she’s the right person for the job.
“ADS”
Yes and many TV ads on ABC channels especially during nightly news, women oriented shows and sporting events. Don’t waste time on The View. Any woman who watches that show is gone just like the ones who listen to NPR.
Since the media does not want to ask questions how about the ads be fake interview questions with her real answers? Vice President Harris do you really believe that illegal aliens should get free healthcare? Blah Blah cackle cackle.
Vice President Harris do you really believe that 16 year olds should have the right to vote? Blah Blah cackle cackle.
Vice President Harris do you really believe that there should be reparations for black people? Blah Blah cackle cackle.
