More than 160 leaders directly impacted by incarceration – including Norris Henderson and DeAnna Hoskins, two executives of prominent criminal justice reform advocacy organizations – say that such language is harmful to Harris’ campaign and marginalizes those impacted by the criminal justice system.More than 160 leaders directly impacted by incarceration — including Norris Henderson and DeAnna Hoskins, two executives of prominent criminal justice reform advocacy organizations — say that such language is harmful to Harris’ campaign and marginalizes those impacted by the criminal justice system.
Kamala Harris has a complicated history when it comes to her history as a prosecutor and her stance on various issues related to criminal justice. Which means she must clarify her current position and commit to addressing the criminal justice system. Harris has said some positive things that reflect a more progressive outlook; however, she is hardly a stalwart on the issue. Harris’ record is tricky, but she will hopefully abandon a “tough-on-crime” message.
Kamala Harris has no idea how to frame her track record as a prosecutor, as she tries to appease the far-left of her party while also portraying herself as a “tough-on-crime” leader. Campaign rhetoric aside, Harris’ track record shows that she is no different from other corrupt liberals who open our prisons and create havoc in our cities. Harris raised bail for rioters, and has supported far-left policies that will let dangerous felons free. America needs a president who is actually tough on crime.
