Kamala Harris has entered her candidacy for president, and is running as a progressive. But closer inspection, and rigorous scrutiny of her professional record is required, as it is for all presidential hopefuls. And to call Kamala Harris’ record as a progressive troubling, would only be an understatement.
Prior to being elected California’s U.S senator, she was the attorney general of california, as well as the city San Francisco . During her service as CA’s attorney general she managed to make it a crime for children to be late for school.
As San Francisco’s district attorney she turned a blind eye to police misconduct. More than 600 people where wrongfully convicted due to “intentionally sabotaging” by a police lab technician.
Despite being aware of police misconduct, Kamala Harris Fought vigorously to up hold those convictions on appeal. But those convictions were later dismissed. No thanks to Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris, is many things: Smart , witty , and highly ambitious. But she is certainly not a progressive.
