'Nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed,' says VP Kamala Harris, who sent nearly 2,000 people to jail for weed

[Counselor706]

On the heels of President Joe Biden offering a blanket pardon for all federal inmates who are serving time for simple possession of marijuana offenses, Vice President Kamala Harris now claims that "nobody" should serve "jail" time for that same offense.

On Saturday, Harris spoke at a fundraiser in Austin, Texas, addressing various issues, including the marijuana pardons.

"Because the bottom line there is nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed," she added, smiling as the audience cheered.

However, Harris did not mention the fact that she personally sent nearly 2,000 Californians to jail for marijuana-based offenses between 2004 and 2011 while she was district attorney of San Francisco. In fact, many credit Tulsi Gabbard's primary debate criticism of Harris' record as D.A. as the moment that sunk Harris' bid for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.

She enforced the law. Was she not supposed to?

Neat spin though. Do Walker next.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

The desperation is palpable.

Are you really going to give Vice President Harris shit for enforcing the laws during her time as DA?

SAD!

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

If she said she did inhale weed, I have no reason to believe she’s lying. Pretty sure she inhales a lot.

She enforced the law. Was she not supposed to?

How about dispense justice. She didn't enforce law. She subverted it. Harris is a piece of shit.

How Kamala Harris Fought to Keep Nonviolent Prisoners Locked Up​

As California attorney general, she spent years subverting a 2011 Supreme Court ruling requiring the state to reduce its prison population. The overseeing judicial panel nearly found the state in contempt of court.

The accusation was that she put marijuana users in jail. You're discussing her efforts of those already in jail. .

Both of those things being said - it's Biden's policy and she is part of his administration.

She's a serious piece of shit and an enemy of justice.


The New York Times, January 17, 2019

By Lara Bazelon law professor and the former director of the Loyola Law School Project for the Innocent in Los Angeles. Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state’s attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent. Most troubling, Ms. Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors.

Stop making excuses for that piece of shit. She's a fucking horrible human being.

Lol...I get that you don't like her. Good for you.

Sounds like you wouldve made a better argument than the blaze on the topic.

 

[BluesDriver66]

Lol...I get that you don't like her. Good for you.

I don't like prosecutors who take money from pedophiles then give them a pass on justice. What about you? Is that acceptable behavior to you?

The argument is whether she's hypocritical by supporting the President's policy. I support his policy. I expect her to publicly support it as well

You can hate her all you want.

Kamala Harris has a long history of Hypocracy. Most prosecutors did not enforce petty marijuana crimes, she did.

I would expect Republicans to celebrate her record on the matter

I am just pointing out the fact that she is a hypocrite. Prosecuters have discretion on what they want to enforce. She is the border cszar right now, she certainly is not enforcing anything for border security.

Neat pivot. There is no "border czar"...the term is being used by right wing media.

Biden makes border enforcement policy, not Harris.

In fairness to BabbyBoomer50s, it's not just VP Harris that he fears. Virtually all strong articulate women represent an existential threat to his oh-so-fragile masculine identity.

I'm not a fan of Harris, but of course the VP is going to support the President's policy decisions,.regardless of her historical record. That's basically their role.

Yes. I hate people who help keep pedophiles out of prison and keep wrongly convicted people in prison. It's called having integrity and a basic sense of morality. You should check it out sometime.

I bet she can stay on topic.

If she ever is a primary candidate of consideration on my ballot, I certainly will. When it comes to others seeking to conflate good policy decisions with things like this to garner support for their bullshit, I'll clarify as I did, to expose their bullshit

In March of 2021 Biden appointed Harris with the task of stemming migration across the US/Mexican Border. If you want to argue about semantics, yes there is no "Border Czar", but she technically is in charge of the Southern border. Harris has never even visited the Southern Border, the closest she got was the El Paso airport.

The reason I brought up the title is to expose what media outlets you obviously frequent....simple search shows who's using the term.

She supported the marijuana policy implemented by the administration she is a part of. If you don't like it, then don't vote for her.

It's pretty presumtuous of you to assume I frequent far right media outlets, which I do not. I am very moderate.

Believe me I will not vote for her if she is on the ticket, my guess is Biden will probably replace her with someone else if he decides to run again.

 

[phrodeau]

So she has changed her position. Seems similar to Trump’s position on handling classified materials.

There's only reason you called her the border czar.....don't care whether you're moderate or not.

Sounds like a plan for ya then.
