Kamala Harris VP Pick Causing Serious Rift Among Democrats

By Johnathan Jones

Published August 12, 2020 at 7:48am

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s selection of Sen. California as his running mate is already creating tension among some Democrats.

Biden, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, announced Harris as his vice presidential pick Tuesday afternoon, ending weeks of speculation about who he would choose.

CNN’s Chris Cillizza theorized that Biden chose the California Democrat because she checks off all the right boxes: She has already been vetted, she’s experienced, she’s younger than him and she’s a woman of color.

Due to these factors and others, she is considered by some as a safe and logical pick for Biden.

But not all Democrats agree Harris was the right choice.

With so many political landmines for Democrats to navigate amid a political environment which is racially charged and increasingly hostile to law enforcement, Harris has a background which complicates the situation.

Harris’ track record as a longtime prosecutor (she was attorney general of California before being elected to the Senate in 2016, and served as San Francisco district attorney before that) troubles one of the former top aides to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign.

Sanders himself praised Biden for picking Harris:

But Briahna Joy Gray, his campaign’s former national press secretary, lashed out at the Biden/Harris ticket.

“We are in the midst of the largest protest movement in American history, the subject of which is excessive policing, and the Democratic Party chose a ‘top cop’ and the author of the Joe Biden crime bill to save us from Trump,” she wrote on Twitter.

“The contempt for the base is, wow,” she added.

Other Democrats also took to Twitter to criticize Biden’s decision to pick Harris.

“Well, there you have it,” progressive reporter Jordan Chariton tweeted. Biden “gives the middle finger to progressives, #BlackLivesMatter protesters, and black voters under the age of 50.”

When she was DA in SF, Kamala's crew prosecuted and won convictions for 1,900 pot smokers.

As AG she kept prisoners beyond their release date so they could work dor free.

As AG she allowed the Democrat mayor of San Diego to abuse the women on his staff.

I find it amazing they would prosecute and convict 1,900 pot smokers when the Emerald Triangle is in north California.

How in hell can she keep prisoners past their release date?

In other areas they have been releasing prisoners early, even violent felons. :-/

She need the prisoners to fight fires. Either pay hundreds of dollars a day or pay them prisoner wages. I doubt the pot smokers did much jail time. Probably just paid fines.
