It seems Vice President Kamala Harris has been tapped by the Biden administration to be its standard-bearer on the issue of marijuana following the president’s executive order last week that pardoned all those convicted of simple possession under federal law, and that choice couldn’t make any less sense.
Harris appeared on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on Monday, where she said, “Nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.” It was the exact same line, delivered with the exact same cadence, that she gave when addressing a crowd at an abortion rights rally in Texas on Saturday. It’s clear that she’s been prepped with talking points — perhaps related to accusations that she has trouble articulating thoughts off-the-cuff — but putting the cringey I’m-a-hip-older-person vibe aside for a moment, it must be understood that she has very limited credibility on this issue.
Harris oversaw at least 1,956 marijuana convictions in San Francisco during her 8-year tenure as the district attorney, and a Mercury News analysis of those figures found that marijuana arrests under Harris led to a higher rate of conviction than did arrests made under her predecessor. Very few of those convictions actually resulted in jail time, but convictions can still impact a person’s life even if they aren’t incarcerated.
She trying to Suppress & Oppress !!!!!!
She can Beg the Devil in Hell to let her Out !!! Answer is NO !!
She should be begging to stay out of PRISON !!!!! FACT
Call her out on every turn !!! OPEN BORDER / CRIME / INFLATION / WAR / AFGHANISTAN / & more
There is no existing Federal law against “simple possession”, so Biden is pardoning NO ONE. It’s just another lie to get votes from the ignorant.
Next he claims he Pardons those for COCAINE !!!!!
