Secret Service Director faced tough questioning regarding Trump assassination attempt
Scrutiny on Kamala Harris' prosecutorial record and policy agenda
Deep dives
Kamala Harris's Controversial Actions
Kamala Harris's actions as a prosecutor come under scrutiny as she is criticized for her record of locking up thousands for minor offenses, withholding evidence that could have freed an innocent man, and keeping people imprisoned beyond their sentences for free labor. Her policy of criminalizing truancy raises concerns about its disproportionate impact on certain communities.
Kamala Harris's Policy Priorities
Harris emphasizes her commitment to extending DACA protections, releasing children from detention centers, and revamping the asylum process as part of her policy agenda. While stressing the need for swift consequences for serious crimes, she maintains a focus on reforms benefiting a broader spectrum of society.
Criticism from Tulsi Gabbard
Tulsi Gabbard criticizes Harris for her prosecutorial record, citing instances where she enforced severe consequences for minor offenses, delayed release of an innocent man on death row, and exploited prison labor. Gabbard denounces Harris's support of a penal system that disproportionately affects marginalized communities.
Kamala Harris's Stance on Schools and Prisons
Harris's speech reveals her opposition to the 'build more schools, less jails' slogan, dismissing the concept for its failure to address underlying crime concerns. She emphasizes the need for severe consequences for violent crimes, defending the necessity of prison.
United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle acquiesced to a subpoena to appear in front of the House of Representatives to answer questions about why GOP candidate and former president Donald Trump came within a few inches of being assassinated under her watch. The results were brutal, with Cheatle withering under grilling from both sides of the aisle in the form of Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ro Khanna.
Jimmy goes over Cheatle’s testimony and all the holes in her claims about what happened on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Plus segments on Don Lemon denying that Kamala Harris is an African-American and MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski insisting that a “hate campaign” has begun against Harris based on the fact that some people intentionally mispronounce her first name.
