Kamala Harris Still Supports Group Bailing Out Violent Criminals Charged With Felonies
While Democratic Nominee Joe Biden has finally begun to condemn the rioting and violence seen from the radical left in recent months, his Vice Presidential choice, Kamala Harris, seems to not have been briefed on the campaign position pivot.
Harris publicly asked her followers to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund in a June 1 tweet—an organization that has raised tens of millions of dollars to bail out violent offenders charged with felonies.
As reported by the Daily Caller, Harris made the plea months ago, but her personalized link is still active and able to take donations. The page—seen below—features a smiling Harris and her old campaign logo.
The smiling Harris fundraiser has bailed out dangerous criminals including Jaleel Stallings, who as reported by the Daily Caller and according to Fox9, is facing charges for attempted murder for shooting at SWAT officers during May riots.
While his VP rallies behind violent offenders, Biden has taken a newly crafted position—likely because the far majority of Americans don’t support murder, arson, and looting. On August 31, Biden managed to choke up a condemnation of the radical left.
“I want to be very clear about all of this: Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protesting. It’s lawlessness, plain and simple. And those who do it should be prosecuted,” Biden said. “Violence will not bring change, it will only bring destruction. It’s wrong in every way.”
Despite ending his statement with blaming President Trump for the violence, Biden did finally condemn the radical left’s terror.
Harris appears to need a briefing from the decision-makers in the campaign.
Other criminals bailed out by the Harris-supported MFF, which has raised over $35 million in donations after Floyd’s death according to Fox9, include Christopher Boswell, a convicted rapist, and Darnika Floyd, who is charged with stabbing a friend to death.

Harris isn’t alone in her concerning support, several members of the Biden campaign have publically showed their support for the MFF, as reported by SaraACarter.com in August.
A thread on Twitter shows a chain of present and former Biden staffers, as well as Democratic organizers across the nation, touting their donation receipt to the fund bailing out alleged murderers and sexual assaulters.
Reuters found that at least 13 members of the Biden campaign publicly showed financial support for the MFF.
With his new approach to the unrest and violence, whether Biden will speak to his VP about the change has yet to be seen.
After hours of debate, the House voted Wednesday night to approve a bipartisan debt-ceiling deal, taking a step toward averting a default on U.S. debt. The measure passed with 314 members voting in favor and 117 members voting in opposition. 149 Republicans and 165 Democrats voted to approve the bill, while 71 Republicans and 46 Democrats voted against it.
National Review writes the measure’s passage secures “a victory for House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who managed to keep his caucus together despite a challenge from House Freedom Caucus members intent on securing greater spending concessions from the Biden White House.”
The bill will now head to the Senate. McCarthy said the measure is the “largest spending cut that Congress has ever voted for,” but faced opposition from members of his caucus who believe the deal “didn’t go far enough in restoring pre-Covid spending levels.”
In his speech on the House floor Wednesday before the vote, McCarthy pleaded with his colleagues to support what he had bargained for with Biden:
“They demanded a clean debt limit, which really means they spend more and you pay more in taxes. House Republicans said ‘no’,” McCarthy said.“Over the past four months, we fought hard to change how Washington works. We stopped the Democrats from writing a blank check after the largest spending binge in American history… The Fiscal Responsibility Act is the biggest spending cut in American history.”
National Review reports:
The agreement suspends the nation’s $31.4 trillion debt limit through January 1, 2025, and caps spending in the 2024 and 2025 budgets.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that the deal will reduce budget deficits by about $1.5 trillion between 2023 and 2033. Director of the CBO Phillip Swagel projected that there would be reductions in discretionary outlays of $1.3 trillion over the 2024–2033 period. Mandatory spending would decrease by $10 billion, revenues would decrease by $2 billion over the same period, and the interest on the public debt would decline by $188 billion.
Biden warned of the consequences of default, saying what would follow would include an economic recession, devastated retirement accounts, and millions of jobs lost.
“I made clear from the start of negotiations that the only path forward was a bipartisan budget agreement,” explained Biden on Twitter. “No one got everything they wanted. But that’s the responsibility of governing.”
