Joe Biden could hardly have chosen a less principled vice presidential candidate than Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. America’s cities are awash in blood, with 36 of the 50 largest municipalities seeing double-digit increases in murder. It’s only been a few weeks since multiple people died because anarchists and Marxists in Seattle declared a section of the city off-limits to civic authorities and tried to establish their own self-governing enclave. The looting and destruction of public property continue unabated in major cities all over the country, egged on by Democratic officials who refuse to prosecute hundreds of people arrested for rioting and assaulting police officers. Placing herself squarely in the camp of spineless appeasers like Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, Harris has made abundantly clear that she sides with the criminals. While our cities were in flames and the murder rate exploded, Harris made a point of openly supporting efforts to raise bail money for the people responsible. As could have been predicted, such efforts led to the freeing of at least one convicted rapist, who used the unexpected freedom bought by his liberal donors to strike again. Harris remained 100% on the rioters’ side even after the situation in Portland had already conclusively spiraled into madness, with destruction of federal property and nightly attacks on police officers for more than two months, apparently buying in to the ridiculous theory that it was federal agents’ presence in the city that was “instigating” the violence — a theory that has been conclusively disproven by the intensification of the violence after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pulled those agents back. Instead of being concerned that anarchists had tried to burn down the Portland Police Association headquarters for the third time, Harris was outraged that Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf hadn’t consulted with medical experts about the effects tear gas might have on the rioters.  [full article]
