Indecision has no place in the Whitehouse! Kamala Harris flip-flops from one policy to another whenever it suits her.

1. She was criticized for how she championed tough truancy policies when she was the attorney general for California, which some said perpetuated inequities in the criminal justice system and disproportionately affected families of color. Harris later said she regretted the “unintended consequences” that law had on families.
2. As state attorney general, she rejected the use of advanced DNA testing in the case of a Black man who was — and still is — on death row for a notable murder case, though she has since said she felt “awful” about that decision. She also did not go after cases that involved killings by the police in San Francisco shortly after the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., which brought on the ire of protesters in Oakland.
3. The year after, she declined to support a bill that would have her office investigate officer-involved shootings, and SHE DID NOT back statewide standards over body cameras worn by police officers.
4. She opposed the death penalty — and stood by that when she DID NOT SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY AGAINST A GANG MEMEBER WHO KILLED A POLICE OFFICER in 2004. But when the opportunity came to get rid of the death penalty in California, Harris appealed that ruling. Then, when California Gov. Gavin Newsom put a moratorium on the death penalty in 2019, Harris praised Newsom for the decision, and subsequently called for a federal moratorium on executions. As state attorney general, she rejected the use of advanced DNA testing in the case of a Black man who was — and still is — on death row for a notable murder case, though she has since said she felt “awful” about that decision.
