After months of BLM protests…
After endless calls to "defund the police"…
After the most radical members of the Democratic party even called to ABOLISH the police…
Joe Biden has picked "top cop" Kamala Harris as his running mate.
While the media is rejoicing at Harris' pick (oh, the diversity! Look at her gender and skin color!), every day Democratic voters are FURIOUS with Joe Biden for picking a "cop."
It's no secret that Harris was a "bad" cop, too.
Tulsi Gabbard famously tore Harris apart on the debate stage.
Harris jailed 1,500 men for marijuana and laughed about it.
How's that going to play among the radical BLM and defund-the-police crowd?
See some of the ANGRY and FURIOUS reactions of Democrat voters below:
Ouch...
The blowback is just beginning.
You know things are bad when even Forbes publishes an article about the revolt against Biden's VP pick:
While many Democrats celebrated the historic choice of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as the party’s vice presidential nominee, many on the left wing of the party had a less enthused reaction, and some even attacked the selection, claiming Harris’ background as a prosecutor does not make her a good choice for Democrats during a time of national reckoning of injustices caused by criminal prosecution in the United States.
Some attacked Harris on social media for her self-proclaimed role as California’s “top cop,” serving as the state’s attorney general from 2011 to 2017 before running for Senate.
Briahna Joy Gray, who served as national press secretary for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) 2020 presidential campaign, said the pick showed “contempt for the base,” while the leftist Gravel Institute said “Joe Biden picked the cop” and the Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America also called Harris a “cop” before adding “our stance will always be: abolish the police.”

It took nearly an hour for any member of the progressive group known as “The Squad”—made up of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)—to comment on the pick on social media, an uncharacteristic silence for the socially media active quartet.
A joint statement from the Progressive Democrats of America and RootsAction said Harris “failed for years to hold police accountable for gross misconduct in California,” with the groups adding, “We will fight every day to hold Vice President Harris to the higher ideals she often espouses."
Of course, Team Trump supports the police!
We also stand for law and order.
But we also understand that there are a few "bad cops" who abuse their power.
Kamala's record speaks for itself...
No wonder so many Democrats are disheartened with Biden's VP running mate!
Many Californians are warning about the ethics and failed leadership of Kamala Harris.
According to the OC Register:
Joe Biden’s choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate sent a shiver Tuesday through some police reformers in Orange County and throughout the Golden State.
During her tenure as California attorney general and San Francisco district attorney, Harris turned a blind eye to potentially dirty Orange County cops and refused to order DNA testing that might exonerate a condemned man. In a scandal that rocked the foundation of justice in Orange County, Harris slow-walked an investigation into corruption among sheriff’s deputies, basically doing nothing.
“It’s a horrible decision,” Paul Wilson said of Harris’ selection by the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Wilson’s wife was among eight killed by tugboat operator Scott Dekraai during a shooting spree at a Seal Beach hair salon in 2011. Dekraai’s case revealed that deputies and prosecutors misused jailhouse informants to extract confessions, which came to be known as the snitch scandal.
Harris initiated an investigation into the scandal and three deputies accused by a judge of not being truthful. But she left the case unfinished when she became senator in 2017. While she was at the helm, her investigators had done little on the case.
“At a time like this, the country needs solid leadership. Her past history is being soft on law enforcement,” Wilson said. “It’s a very bad decision.”
In 2015, an Orange County Superior Court judge took the Dekraai case — the largest mass killing in Orange County history — away from the District Attorney’s Office and handed it to Harris’ prosecutors. Harris then launched an investigation into whether the deputies committed perjury, this at the same time that her prosecutors were defending the county’s misuse of informants in court. Dekraai eventually was given life in prison instead of the death penalty by a judge frustrated by the lack of cooperation by prosecutors and sheriff’s officials.
As the months crawled by, a staffer for Harris complained in an interview that the state probe was slowed by the release of hundreds of pages of sheriff’s logs describing how informants were managed. Harris turned the job over in 2017 to her successor, Xavier Becerra, who quietly let the investigation die in 2019 without any action and without a report.
In published interviews, Harris has said she figured the Orange County debacle was being handled by local authorities.
Scott Sanders, Dekraai’s attorney, called the investigation by Harris’ office “a complete and utter sham.”
“It was never a sincere effort to get to the truth,” Sanders said. “They let the world believe they were investigating when they weren’t.”
Kamala may call herself "top cop," but chances are that police unions will continue to endorse President Trump!
This November, we need an administration that is tough on crime and DEFENDS law enforcement!
We need leadership that will maintain law and order!
We must vote for 4 more years of President Trump!
