Kamala Harris Is a Race Hustler

Vice President Kamala Harris is a race hustler, a divider when the nation needs a unifier.

If Democrats make Harris the nominee for the nation’s top job, Americans will be given a stark choice in November: between racial preferences and fairness. A President Harris would rub raw the racial divisions in this country and ignite new violence in our streets.

In 2020, it was then-Sen. Harris who cheered on the Black Lives Matter protesters terrorizing neighborhoods and businesses after the tragic death of George Floyd. It was Harris who urged Americans to put up cash bail for BLM protesters arrested in Minneapolis for attempted murder, burglary and other crimes.

In 2023, it was Harris who bashed the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that colleges must base admissions on merit, not skin color. She rejected the court’s ideal of a colorblind society, arguing that being colorblind is being blind to “the strength that diversity brings to classrooms, to boardrooms.”

The Washington Post and Time magazine published reviews this week of where Harris stands on the issues. Racial preferences were conspicuously omitted. No wonder. Her views are toxic...

Would a Harris presidency be peaceful? Maybe not. When BLM protesters took to the streets in 2020, Harris said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that the protesters “are not going to stop. They’re not.” She added, “And they should not, and we should not.”

Racism won’t cure past racism. And a race warrior Harris won’t heal the nation.

Democratic Presidential Debate: Moments that mattered from night 2. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard, Corey Booker and six other presidential hopefuls sparred...Show More Rep. Tulsi Gabbard didn’t hold back when she took aim at Sen. Kamala Harris, saying "there is no excuse" for her record as a prosecutor and she owed those "who suffered under [her] reign as prosecutor" an apology. Gabbard, D-Hawaii, was speaking about the country’s criminal justice system at Wednesday night’s Democratic debate when she brought Harris' history into question.

"There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence, she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so," Gabbard said. "She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California, and she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way," Gabbard said. Harris responded that she significantly reformed the criminal justice system in California and she was proud of her work. "And I am proud of making a decision to not just give fancy speeches or be in a legislative body and give speeches on the floor but doing the work of being in the position to use the power that I had to reform a system that is badly in need of reform," she said.

But Gabbard wasn't done. "The bottom line is Senator Harris when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people's lives, you did not and worse yet in the case of those who are on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so," she said. "There is no excuse for that and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology," Gabbard added. Harris served as the attorney general of California from 2011 to 2017.

Our elections have been turned into Doctor Phil or American Idol on steroids. To voters now it’s all a “personality contest” like they are used to on TV and on the internet. Because they have been so dumbed down by the educational system they are incapable of deciding national and political issues on the merits or where a candidate stands. Instead they respond only emotionally to being manipulated by the media and Hollywood to care only about their own immediate conveniences like abortion-on-demand and daycare and free mortgages and student loans and access to entitlement programs they never contributed to in any way. We are a nation of zombie voters. They will sink this country.
