A prominent conservative legal organization has initiated multiple investigations into Vice President Kamala Harris’s tenure as a prosecutor and attorney general in California as she begins her presidential campaign, which is primarily based on her reputation for being “tough on crime.”
“From locking up parents whose children had chronically missed school to supporting a bail fund that let violent Black Lives Matter rioters out of jail in 2020, Harris’ approach to criminal justice is facing fresh scrutiny,” Fox News reported last week, citing the newly launched investigation by America First Legal. The group is alleging that Harris “has proven to be the most radically progressive Vice President in American history.”
“A lot of her tough on crime reputation goes to her prosecution when she was San Francisco DA, individuals who use marijuana and other sorts of things,” Dan Epstein, president of AFL, told Fox News Digital. “Our investigation, however, makes it very clear that Kamala Harris does not believe much in terms of statutes passed by legislatures, including the Federal United States, Congress, as well as the state of California.”
