Flashback: Harris Said America ‘should have that conversation’ About Felons In Prison Getting Right To Vote. She’s No Centrist

Former California Attorney General Sen. Kamala Harris may have been too tough on petty crime criminals but don’t be fooled. She’s not a centrist and many of her views appear to align with the radical left. ‘

In fact, some go hand in hand with socialist Democrat Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Here’s one example that’s been resurfaced since presumptive Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden selected Harris for his running mate: her appearance last year on CNN’s Town Hall. In one exchange with CNN’s Don Lemon in April, 2019, Harris is asked if felons, including the Boston Marathon bomber, should be given the right to vote from prison.

The felons comprised those that committed sexual, as well as aggravated assault, and even prisoners from death row, stated Lemon.

Harris responded that yes, America “should have that conversation.”

What? Does anyone with common sense even for one minute think that a felon should be given the right to vote from prison?

Harris also explained her role as an advocate that fights for voting rights for those who have already served their sentences saying, “I agree that the right to vote is one of the very important components of citizenship and it is something that people should not be stripped of needlessly is why I have been a long advocate of making sure that formerly incarcerated are not denied a right to vote.”

She went onto say that in some states former felons are permanently deprived the right to vote and it is an issue that she wishes to change.

“These are policies that go back to Jim Crowe, these are policies that go back to the policies of disenfranchisement,” she said.

It’s strange that these are her positions on the issue when she was highly criticized before for her stringent prosecution of minor crimes and her failure in California to investigate police officer related shootings. She was highly criticized for her lack of action.

Indeed, an examination of that record shows how Ms. Harris was far more reticent in another time of ferment a half-decade ago.

Since becoming California’s attorney general in 2011, she had largely avoided intervening in cases involving killings by the police. Protesters in Oakland distributed fliers saying: “Tell California Attorney General Kamala Harris to prosecute killer cops! It’s her job!”

Watch Harris and Lemon below. Decide for yourself what trajectory our nation would take if she and former Vice President Joe Biden were elected to the White House.

Videotapes from Jan. 6 Committee Witness Interviews Vanish

Videotapes containing witness interviews conducted by the Democrat-led January 6 congressional committee have disappeared. The chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), expressed his apprehension on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show.

According to Loudermilk, all videotapes of depositions have vanished, raising questions about the preservation of crucial evidence. He argued that, under House rules, these tapes qualified as congressional evidence, especially since some clips were aired during hearings. Loudermilk contended that the tapes should have been preserved by the now-defunct Jan. 6 committee and its chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).

Loudermilk’s revelation has broader implications, potentially impacting criminal trials in both state court in Georgia and federal court in Washington, where individuals, including former President Donald Trump, face charges related to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Notably, Trump’s legal team had recently requested evidence from the Jan. 6 committee but was denied by a judge.

The situation takes a further twist as Loudermilk disclosed that the J6 committee had sent certain evidence, such as transcripts, to the Biden White House and the Homeland Security Department. Shockingly, these transcripts have now been returned to Loudermilk’s GOP-led subcommittee almost entirely redacted, preventing the disclosure of their contents.

The lack of records regarding witnesses, their statements, and the extensive redactions have raised concerns among House Republicans. Loudermilk emphasized that these documents belong to the House and should not have been sent in such a heavily redacted form. The chairman questioned the motives behind the redactions, asking why a Democrat-run House was allowed to have unredacted documents while a Republican committee’s efforts were obstructed. This development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6, 2021.
