America First Legal claims Kamala Harris has a history of 'bending' the law 'for a political objective' as well as 'failures to disclose conflicts of interest'
Harris' shift from tough-on-crime prosecutor to social justice advocate faces scrutiny from conservative group
As the Harris campaign heats up, America First Legal is probing the vice president's record as California attorney general, tagging her a "radically progressive" who is inconsistent on crime.

Vice President Kamala Harris' checkered prosecution record during her tenure as California attorney general is resurfacing as her bid for the White House heats up. From locking up parents whose children had chronically missed school to supporting a bail fund that let violent Black Lives Matter rioters out of jail in 2020, Harris' approach to criminal justice is facing fresh scrutiny.
America First Legal (AFL), a nonprofit conservative legal watchdog group, launched seven investigations into Harris' prosecutorial background on Thursday afternoon, alleging that Harris "has proven to be the most radically progressive Vice President in American history."
"A lot of her tough on crime reputation goes to her prosecution when she was San Francisco DA, individuals who use marijuana and other sorts of things," Dan Epstein, president of AFL, told Fox News Digital. "Our investigation, however, makes it very clear that Kamala Harris does not believe much in terms of statutes passed by legislatures, including the Federal United States, Congress, as well as the state of California."

During her 2020 presidential campaign, which she launched in January 2019, Harris faced significant criticism over her prosecutorial record. Opponents of tough-on-crime prosecutions argue it disproportionately affects low-income families and minorities, further entrenching them in the prison system.
One of the most criticized aspects of Harris' record was her handling of school truancy cases. Harris supported a truancy law, passed in 2011, that allowed district attorneys to charge parents with a misdemeanor if their children were chronically absent during the school year without a valid reason.

Meanwhile, some Democrats are framing a potential Harris-Trump matchup as the "Prosecutor vs. the Felon," in light of former President Trump's recent court cases.
"It's fairly clear that nobody disagrees, nobody disagrees that Trump is a felon because of political prosecution," Epstein said. "And if the standard for Kamala Harris is that the process that led to Donald Trump being convicted is one of justice and one that she follows, then logically, it means that she is a political prosecutor, not a fair honest broker."
Commentary:
The beatification of Kamala continues. During the 2020 campaign, Harris tweeted her followers to donate to help bail out those arrested during the George Floyd riots. “....chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” she tweeted in June of that year. But the Kamala-backed bail fund has come under fire:
Helping put rapists and murderers back on the streets;
The fund spent $$$100’s of thousands of dollars;
Funds free an alleged knife murderer and a twice convicted rapist;
The fund freed criminals facing charges of sexual assault and kidnapping, among others.
Harris liked to brag about using “a huge stick” as a S/Frisco prosecutor; she
regularly threatened poor parents; jail time was metered out if your kid missed school.
This was Kamala’s nutsy effort to establish her creds on making
“social policy “— which wasn’t even her job as a law enforcer.
Harris threw scores of young Blacks in jail; some of them were likely innocent.
But hey, the jailings bolstered her political fortunes, and got her where she is today.
Is Kamala Harris the Worst Boss Ever?
Only four of Harris’ initial 71 staff hires remain; a shocking 92% staff turnover rate.
The rest either quit or were fired, according to non-partisan fiscal watchdog “Open The Books.”
Signs of a toxic workplace or does Kamala have a hidden agenda?
The problem is that hard core Progressive Neo-Marxist Democrats don’t care about facts or history.
It is all about their side winning and having the power to roll over those who aren’t yet enslaved on the plantation.
