1/ @KamalaHarris as California Attorney General refused to prosecute Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, then CEO of OneWest Bank, for illegally foreclosing on thousands of home owners. She went against the recommendation of her own administration. https://theintercept.com/2017/01/05/kamala-harris-fails-to-explain-why-she-didnt-prosecute-steven-mnuchins-bank/
2/ @KamalaHarris not only declined to prosecute Steve Mnuchin for illegal foreclosures. She received $2,000 in campaign contributions from the current Treasury Secretary when she ran for Senate in 2016. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/05/2020-presidential-dems-trump-money-1202938
3/ @KamalaHarris as San Francisco district attorney decided to prosecute parents of truant children, de facto criminalizing the most vulnerable families. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala-harris-truancy-arrests-2020-progressive-prosecutor_n_5c995789e4b0f7bfa1b57d2e
4/ @KamalaHarris as San Francisco district attorney locked up over a thousand people for marijuana offenses. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tulsi-gabbard-kamala-harris-criminal-justice-record_n_5d424340e4b0aca3411841fb
5/ @KamalaHarris locked up many people for marijuana offenses in California, but then joked an laughed about her own weed use on the BreakFast Club radio show. Did you smoke weed? Kamala: âYes, and I inhaled.â
6/ @KamalaHarris is an electoral liability because all indicators showed she was going to lose badly her home state primary in Spring 2020.
7/ @KamalaHarris mocked people for wanting to âBuild More Schools, Less Jails.â This is not the rhetoric one would expect from a âprogressiveâ.
8/ @KamalaHarris got destroyed by @TulsiGabbard during a primary debate. Afterwards, Harris refused to defend her horrible record as AG and instead smeared Gabbard as an âAssad apologistâ.
9/ @KamalaHarris co-sponsored @BernieSandersâs Medicare4All bill in the Senate, only to change her mind when her donors let her know they were against it. She said she was âuncomfortableâ with it. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kamala-harris-says-shes-uncomfortable-with-bernies-health-care-plan-two-years-after-cosponsoring-it
10/ @KamalaHarris calls herself the âtop cop of the biggest state in the countryâ, followed by an awkwardly creepy laugh. Not sure if this is the most suitable candidate for VP when US streets are flooded with demonstrators against police brutality.
11/ @KamalaHarrisâs AG office lawyers argued âsome non-violent offenders needed to stay incarcerated or else the prison system would lose a source of cheap labor.â http://archive.is/OzrjR
12/ @KamalaHarris as SF DA blocked evidence that could have exonerated a prisoner sitting on death row. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/five-times-prosecutor-kamala-harris-got-the-wrong-guy
13/ @KamalaHarris claimed 3 times she misheard a debate question on progressive policies (abolishing private insurance), stating after the debate the exact opposite of what she claimed during the debate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/06/28/kamala-harris-reverses-answer-abolishing-private-health-insurance-saying-she-misheard-question/
14/ @KamalaHarris made an embarrassing pitch to ban Donald Trump from Twitter, and tried to convince @ewarren to join her.
15/ @KamalaHarris is horrible on #ForeignPolicy and sees #Israel as âa critical friend and allyâ with âshared valuesâ and is a friend of AIPAC.
16/ @KamalaHarris mentioned exactly ZERO concrete policy proposals in her 2019 presidential campaign launch video.
