They are trying to erase all of her records of all the bad things that she has done including locking up so many black men while she was a prosecutor for minor offenses. Voting for her based on identity politics will be the biggest mistake they could make if she became president the United States will be in serious trouble. I wish those people went on that call would have done their research before doing so., Kamala Harris is Hillary Clinton 2.0 or even worse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is your lack of knowledge my problem? Come on back. I just threw you a life preserver. 

FLASHBACK: Kamala Harris Compared ICE To KKK, Said Agency Should Be Restarted ‘From Scratch’ 

Vice President Kamala Harris, now a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, once compared federal immigration agents to white supremacists and suggested their agency should be completely reformed.

Harris in 2018 compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to the Ku Klux Klan, and she suggested earlier that year that the entire agency should be abolished and started again “from scratch.” President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Harris on Sunday, making her a top contender for the party’s nomination.

Speaking during a November 2018 Senate confirmation hearing for Ron Vitiello to be the next ICE director, then-Senator Harris took umbrage with Vitiello’s past statements calling the Democratic Party “liberalcratic” and “NeoKlanist.” In her exchange with Vitiello about the tactics of the KKK, she asked him if he saw “any parallels” between ICE and the white supremacist organization.

“Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels?” Harris asked the then-nominee to lead the agency.

“I see no perception that puts ICE in the same category as the KKK,” Vitiello answered. “Is that what you’re asking me?”

Harris then repeated her claim, asking if he was “aware that there is a perception that ICE is administering its power in a way that is causing fear and intimidation, particularly among immigrants, and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America?”

Vitiello, again, said he did not see a parallel between the two groups. Harris then criticized him, asking how he could lead an agency if he isn’t aware of this alleged “perception.”

When asked by NBC’s Kasie Hunt in June 2018 if she supported abolishing ICE, Harris suggested a complete overhaul of the agency was necessary.

“There’s no question that we’ve got to critically reexamine ICE and its role, and the way that it is being administered, and the work it is doing,” Harris explained. “And we need to probably think about starting from scratch.”

A Democratic presidential ticket led by Harris will lead to a dramatic shift to the left on immigration enforcement, RJ Hauman, president of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE), told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Kamala Harris wasn’t just Biden’s Border Czar, she was his Abolish ICE Director — directing the agency in charge of enforcing our immigration laws to willfully violate them,” Hauman said. “Now that Biden is out of the picture, she is sure to return to some of the most insane anti-enforcement positions that we’ve ever seen from an elected official.”

“The choice in November will now be even more clear — mass deportation or mass release of illegal aliens and violent criminals into American communities,” Hauman continued.

NICE publicly criticized Harris on Sunday for once pledging to shut down all private prisons provided to ICE — a move that would virtually abolish ICE enforcement completely, given that nearly all detention beds are provided by private contractors.]]></description>

<p>FLASHBACK: Kamala Harris Compared ICE To KKK, Said Agency Should Be Restarted ‘From Scratch’ </p>
<p>Vice President Kamala Harris, now a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, once compared federal immigration agents to white supremacists and suggested their agency should be completely reformed.</p>
<p>Harris in 2018 compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to the Ku Klux Klan, and she suggested earlier that year that the entire agency should be abolished and started again “from scratch.” President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Harris on Sunday, making her a top contender for the party’s nomination.</p>
<p>Speaking during a November 2018 Senate confirmation hearing for Ron Vitiello to be the next ICE director, then-Senator Harris took umbrage with Vitiello’s past statements calling the Democratic Party “liberalcratic” and “NeoKlanist.” In her exchange with Vitiello about the tactics of the KKK, she asked him if he saw “any parallels” between ICE and the white supremacist organization.</p>
<p>“Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels?” Harris asked the then-nominee to lead the agency.</p>
<p>“I see no perception that puts ICE in the same category as the KKK,” Vitiello answered. “Is that what you’re asking me?”</p>
<p>Harris then repeated her claim, asking if he was “aware that there is a perception that ICE is administering its power in a way that is causing fear and intimidation, particularly among immigrants, and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America?”</p>
<p>Vitiello, again, said he did not see a parallel between the two groups. Harris then criticized him, asking how he could lead an agency if he isn’t aware of this alleged “perception.”</p>
<p>When asked by NBC’s Kasie Hunt in June 2018 if she supported abolishing ICE, Harris suggested a complete overhaul of the agency was necessary.</p>
<p>“There’s no question that we’ve got to critically reexamine ICE and its role, and the way that it is being administered, and the work it is doing,” Harris explained. “And we need to probably think about starting from scratch.”</p>
<p>A Democratic presidential ticket led by Harris will lead to a dramatic shift to the left on immigration enforcement, RJ Hauman, president of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE), told the Daily Caller News Foundation.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[OH NO! Not the Fox News comeback! BZZZZZ! Wrong! Wow, you are just racking up the demerits today. 

Why would you call her father a liar? Shame on you! Shame, shame, shame. You danced poorly on this one but I did expect you to put your two cents worth. Best check your sources because your boat don&#039;t float. She has accomplished NOTHING that has made life in the USA better. She was given border responsibility and has failed miserably. Her positions on what was listed are facts. 

Now, look for all sorts of organizations to come forth and give her achievements awards for nothing - just like the organizations did for Hillary. 

FYI. I predicted three years ago that Biden would find a reason to step down and Harris would be sworn in as president. Close to what is happening but November is still a few months away. Biden might accidentally trip over his SS-chomping dog and fall down the stairs in the White House.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can try to white-wash all you want with your CNN talking points. They absolutely DO reflect her record as a politician and much of it DOES cover her time as VP. She was neither a &quot;college student&quot; not a &quot;young politician&quot; when much of this occured the last 4 years. She has been a disaster as California AG and Senator, a disaster as VP and would be a disaster as President... and I say this as a black woman myself. I hope Trump wipes the floor with her in November.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did any one of those 44,000 black women ask Harris when she would pay reparations to the descendants of the 200+ slaves (according to her father) owned by an ancestor in Jamaica? Will she pardon all the black men and women she sent to prison? What about supporting the diversion of state &amp; federal funds supporting low-income black families to fund food, housing, healthcare, education, etc., on track to reach an estimated 10 MILLION illegals invading the USA under her watch? What about supporting illegals to vote in elections and diluting the black vote? Those are just off the top of my head. 

From another website: 
Below are 17 examples of Harris’ far-left record:

1. Co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation
2. Backed Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation
3. Backed banning private health insurance
4. Supported giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants
5. Supported banning fracking
6. Backed defunding the police
7. Compared ICE to the KKK
8. Wanted to ban plastic straws
9. Defended banning offshore drilling
10. Wanted to “undo” the Trump administration’s border security, taking 94 executive actions in their first 100 days to rescind nearly every Trump-era measure
11. Supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings
12. Said she wouldn’t “treat” illegal aliens as “criminals”
13. Called for “starting [ICE] from scratch”
14. Argued that temporarily closing the border violated federal law
15. Raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-left organization that pays to bail out of jail violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.
16. Supported Los Angeles’s cuts to their police department
17. Called efforts to add more police to the streets “wrongheaded thinking”]]></description>
