Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for a statement she made during a town hall with Oprah Winfrey, where she claimed she never considered political affiliation when working with victims or witnesses.
Joel B. Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News, argues that this statement is largely false. While Harris may not have explicitly asked victims their political leanings, Pollak highlights several instances where her actions as San Francisco District Attorney and California Attorney General targeted conservatives.
One prominent example is the case of pro-life filmmaker David Daleiden, who exposed Planned Parenthood officials allegedly selling fetal tissue. Harris investigated Daleiden, using a state law against recording confidential conversations—a law never before applied to a member of the media. This investigation, allegedly orchestrated in conjunction with Planned Parenthood, is viewed by Pollak as a clear example of Harris prioritizing a political agenda over fairness.
Another example cited is Harris’s attempt to force conservative non-profit groups, including Americans for Prosperity, to disclose their donors. This ultimately failed at the Supreme Court, with a 6-3 ruling against Harris. Critics viewed this effort as a blatant First Amendment violation, fueled by partisan motivation.
These examples, according to Pollak, contradict Harris’s claim of non-partisan prosecution and demonstrate a pattern of targeting conservatives. The article suggests that Harris’s past actions, while not necessarily directly asking about political affiliation, were deeply intertwined with her political beliefs.
