Kamala Harris' new presidential campaign ads on drug policy SLAMMED by California lawmakers and ex-cops as 'rewriting history'
UK Daily Mail ^ | 09/05/2024 | Josh Boswell

California lawmakers and former top cops say Kamala Harris’s new campaign ads presenting her as ‘tough’ on drug trafficking don’t match with her record as a prosecutor – when she advocated not charging dealers until their third arrest.

Harris proposed a policy in 2005 when she was San Francisco District Attorney to only prosecute drug dealers the third time they were caught selling narcotics, DailyMail.com has learned.

The plan sparked a scandal and was only halted when the city’s police chief Heather Fong pushed back to prevent it.

So when the Harris presidential campaign released an ad on August 7 trumpeting her record as a ‘tough’ prosecutor who ‘took on drug cartels’ and ‘spent decades fighting violent crime’, California lawmakers and senior police officers who served during Harris’ tenure decided to speak up and challenge the candidate.

‘The campaign is trying to completely reinvent reality,’ said GOP congressman Kevin Kiley.

‘Those of us who have actually lived in California – in particular in San Francisco where she was DA but Los Angeles as well – know all too well what the reality was.

‘She was a champion of San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy, she wanted drug dealers to go without being prosecuted until the third attempt, and she herself said in her own book that she was a progressive prosecutor.

‘The more the American people learn about what her actual record was, they’re going to see this campaign rhetoric for the facade that it is.’

Rewriting history is exactly right. However, that is what Democrats do.

Kamala is going to write/sign laws specifically for black people?

Nothing says UNITE the country like having separate laws for different races....as that guy stated and Kamala agreed “that’s right”..... What’s next, separate water fountains?

She could have used that moment to show leadership and knowledge of the Constitution and black history. She could have reminded him what it was like when laws were written specifically for blacks. And then said Unburdened by what has been. Forward! We won't go back!

Instead she chose to nod and agree with him.

She was pandering to them by agreeing......Harris knows she has to bring back as many blacks to the party as possible who have gravitated toward Trump, and keep those who are her base. ....So she’ll say anything to entice them even if it’s not what she will do they asked for.
