Republicans like to pretend that Harris is some kind of hypocrite because she prosecuted marijuana cases. However, she only prosecuted people selling them and they were reduced to misdemeanors. Any cases of possession were dropped. Also, do people not understand how being a prosecutor works? The law is the law and weed happened to be illegal at the time.
Public defender: I worked with Kamala Harris. She was the most progressive DA in California.
I grappled with this idea of defending a former prosecutor for a long time, but I have to say what I feel is right to set the record straight on Harris.
