Kamala’s Actions as AG Led to California’s Crime Increase

Over the next several months, you’ll hear a lot from Vice President Kamala Harris on her record as California’s attorney general and district attorney. What the campaign will gloss over is that her policies contributed to the state’s crime problems. The New York Post highlighted Proposition 47, which downgraded theft felonies to misdemeanors, and Proposition 57, which allowed early parole for some inmates. These measures led to the increased shoplifting and the release of violent offenders.

You may hear some talking about her prosecuting non-violent offenders too harshly, but that’s not the entire story.

More from the New York Post:

As an example of how schizophrenic her record is, Harris once waged a war on truancy as district attorney, promising to “start prosecuting parents” for their children’s absences.

(Then she tried to backtrack, expressing regret for her zealousness.) 

Hers were never the actions of a deeply nuanced thinker who sees angles others don’t and can bring the light to previously impenetrable gray areas — but rather those of a policy carpetbagger who follows politics rather than the law. 

Harris’ DA and AG terms were both marked by her ideology, but more importantly, they served as useful ladders for her political climb as a Democratic “rising star.” 

As Ann Coulter wrote, the 2024 election isn’t the tidy narrative of the prosecutor versus the felon. Harris is just your average opportunistic politician whose actions have always been, much like her Border Czar title, more about political advancement and showboating than effective governance.
