Kamala Harris.jpg

Kamala Harris is a far-left United States Senator from California. Harris is the leading fundraiser being bred by rich Democrat donors to challenge Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Harris is a product of the San Fransisco political machine that produced Willie Brown and Nancy Pelosi.[1] She announced her candidacy for president on January 21, 2019,[2] and she aligned herself with socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.[3]

Harris' qualifications consist of closing the loop in the party's effort to forge an alliance between feminists and the black civil rights movement, maintain the commitment to identity politics, divisiveness, and targeting white males as the "root of all evil". Harris opposes DNC reform. Unlike Sen. Elizabeth Warren's cultural appropriation of American Indian heritage, Harris is the real deal, being both a woman and an actual minority.

Harris is an articulate spokesperson for unhinged leftist rage and the anti-Trump resistance movement. Harris has used vulgar and profane language in public.[4] This was despite her condemning Republican's values.

Harris is doggedly committed to the liberal agenda of promising women free government goodies such as free healthcare, free daycare, female affirmative action quotas, single-parent families and its consequent affect on high juvenile offender rates.[5] Harris has endorsed the far left's social spending program, the Green New Deal.

Harris gained the financial backing of Marxist and socialist supporters of Bernie Sanders early as a 2020 Democratic hopeful.

In September 2018, Harris referred to a pocket-sized version of the U.S. Constitution as "that book you carry"[6] and earned the title as Most Dishonest Senator.[7]

Career

Harris began her career in politics at the age of 29 by having an extra-marital affair with the corrupt 60-year-old corrupt California politician Willie Brown.[8] As San Fransisco mayor, when they were having their affair, Brown was dogged by conflict of interest accusations, and as speaker of the California Assembly was investigated by the FBI. When the tryst began, she was a low level clerk in a city office of Mayor Brown's political machine.[9] Mayor Brown gave her a brand new 1994 BMW. As Speaker, Brown appointed her to high paying jobs on the California Medical Assistance Commission and Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. During her first bid for electoral office as district attorney of San Francisco in 2003, which Speaker Brown supported with donations, she excused the gift of a brand new BMW away, telling reporters she traded it in for a 1997 BMW which she then drove.[10]

After dumping Harris and divorcing his wife, 84 year old Willie Brown now lives with Russian model Sonya Molodetskaya.[11]

San Fransisco district attorney

In April 2004, San Francisco Police Department Officer Isaac Espinoza was shot and killed in the line of duty. Three days later, Harris announced she would not seek the death penalty, infuriating the San Francisco Police Officers Association. During Officer Espinoza's funeral Sen. Dianne Feinstein rose to the pulpit and called on Harris, who was sitting in the front pew, to secure the death penalty, prompting a standing ovation from the 2,000 uniformed police officers in attendance. Harris still refused. Officer Espinoza's killer was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison.[12]

Harris refused to seek the death penalty for an illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member accused of a triple homicide.[13][14]

In 2012, a Superior Court Judge ruled that San Francisco District Attorney Harris's office violated defendants' rights by hiding damaging information about a police crime lab technician, and was indifferent to demands that it account for its failings.[15]

Harris filed an amicus brief in District of Columbia v. Heller, arguing that the Washington, D.C., gun law at issue did not violate the Second Amendment.[16]

California attorney general

After the United States Supreme Court in Brown v. Plata (2011) declared California's prisons so overcrowded they violated prisoners' Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment, Harris fought federal court supervision. When California failed to fully implement the court's order to reduce overcrowding, and was ordered to implement new parole programs, the State of California appealed the decision, and in court filings Harris's office argued that if forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose an important source of slave labor.[17] Prisoners in California earn between 8 and 37 cents per hour in maintenance and kitchen jobs; prisoner firefighters receive $1 per hour.[18]

In 2013, Harris did not prosecute Steven Mnuchin's bank OneWest despite evidence "suggestive of widespread misconduct" according to a leaked memo from the Department of Justice.[19] In 2016, Mnuchin donated $2,000 to Harris's campaign,[20] making her the only 2016 Senate Democratic candidate to get cash from Mnuchin.[21]

In 2015, Harris defended convictions obtained by county prosecutors who had inserted a false confession into an interrogation transcript, committed perjury, and withheld evidence. Federal appeals court threw out the convictions, telling Harris's lawyers, "Talk to the attorney general and make sure she understands the gravity of the situation."

Harris appealed the dismissal of an indictment when it was discovered a Kern County prosecutor perjured in submitting a falsified confession as court evidence. Harris asserted that prosecutorial perjury was not sufficient to demonstrate prosecutorial misconduct.[22][23]

In 2015 a male inmate of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was paroled early. The inmate had sued the state in federal court claiming he was being denied a sex change operation. The court ordered the state to provide the inmate with the requested medical services. Harris represented the Department of Corrections and appealed the decision. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opined the inmate was released early while the case was on appeal to render the case moot.[24]

U.S. Senate

Harris serves on the Senate Committee on the Budget, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Select Committee on Intelligence and Committee on the Judiciary.

2nd Amendment

Harris earned an "F" rating from the National Rifle Association.[25]

Illegal immigration

Harris supports San Francisco's sanctuary city policy.[26]

On October 25, 2017, Harris stated she would not support a spending bill and promised a government shutdown until Congress addressed the DACA program.[27] She did not support a February 2018 proposal by some Democrats to provide President Trump with $25 billion in funding for a border wall in exchange for giving DREAMers a pathway to citizenship.[28]

In a January 2018 interview, when asked by Hiram Soto about her ideal version of a bipartisan deal on DACA, Harris stated the need to focus on comprehensive immigration reform."[29]

Taxes

Harris opposed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 which has spawned the current recovery.

National security

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency was created by a bipartisan Congress on a recommendation of the 9/11 Commission after 19 Islamic jihadis entered the United States under the Clinton administration and murdered 3,000 Americans. In November 2018 Harris compared ICE to the Ku Klux Klan. The suggestion sparked horror and outrage.[30]

Kavanaugh smear

See also: Kavanaugh smear

Staff members for Sen. Harris submitted an undated handwritten letter to committee investigators that her California office had received signed under the alias “Jane Doe from Oceanside, California.” Three days before Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote, Judy Munro-Leighton wrote an email to the committee claiming, “I am Jane Doe from Oceanside CA — Kavanaugh raped me.”

Under questioning, Munro-Leighton admitted she was a left-wing activist who never met Kavanaugh. After Kavanaugh's confirmation, the Senate Judiciary Committee referred her to the DOJ and FBI for criminal prosecution because she lied to Congress.[31]

Medicare for All

On August 30, 2017, Harris announced that she would co-sponsor Sen. Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All bill, creating a single-payer system.[32]

In April 2018, Harris co-sponsored the Choose Medicare Act that increased government spending on ObamaCare and rendered higher income individuals eligible for subsidized assistance.[33]
