===Father rejects her racial stereotypes===
Donald J. Harris, a [[civil rights]] [[activist]] and the father of Kamala, severely rebuked Kamala after she was asked on a radio broadcast if she had ever smoked [[marijuana]]. Kamala invoked a vulgar and [[racist]] stereotype of [[Jamaica]]ns: {{quotebox|"look, half my family is from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?”}} Her father responded: {{quotebox|"My dear departed grandmothers, as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of [[identity politics]]. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty."<ref>http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20190217/dad-blasts-harris-stereotyping-jcans-presidential-aspirant-criticised</ref>}}

===Protected a known sexual predator on staff for 14 years===
A longtime top staff member of Harris resigned after ''The Sacramento Bee'' inquired about a $400,000 harassment and retaliation settlement resulting from his time working for Harris at the California Department of Justice.<ref>https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article223053155.html</ref>
Larry Wallace, who served as the director of the Division of Law Enforcement under Attorney General Harris, was accused by his former executive assistant in December 2016 of “gender harassment” and other demeaning behavior, including frequently asking her to crawl under his desk to change the paper in his printer.
The lawsuit was filed on Dec. 30, 2016, when Harris was still attorney general but preparing to be sworn in as California's newly elected Democratic senator. It was settled less than five months later, in May 2017, by [[Xavier Becerra]], who was appointed to replace her as attorney general.
Harris, who has known Wallace for 14 years, then hired him in March 2017 as a senior adviser in her Sacramento U.S. Senate constituent services office.
A misconduct claim naming Wallace arrived at the California Department of Justice three months before Harris left the attorney general's office in early 2017. An intake form from the Equal Employment Rights and Resolution Office, which oversees discrimination investigations and compliance at the Department of Justice, shows that the department was first notified on Oct. 3, 2016, of Danielle Hartley's intent to pursue legal action.<ref>https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/272256/senator-kamala-harris-aide-sexual-harassment-claim-daniel-greenfield</ref>
Wallace resigned 6 weeks before Harris announced her candidacy for president.<ref>https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/sen-kamala-harris-aide-resigns-400000-sexual-harassment-settlement-emerges</ref>
According to the ''Los Angeles Times'', the amount of money paid out to settle sexual harassment claims during Harris' tenure as California Attorney General was nearly three times more than previously reported. Total sexual harassment claims between 2011 and 2017 were $1.1 million, including several payments to men who apparently were victims of [[homosexual]] harassers at work in the states highest law enforcement bureau.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-kamala-harris-attorney-general-settlements-20190301-story.html</ref>
