Harris skips vote on California disaster aid to campaign for president
Politico ^ | 4/04/19 | MARIANNE LEVINE, CHRISTOPHER CADELAGO

Posted on 04/04/2019 2:46:21 PM PDT by Libloather

When the Senate took contentious votes this week on a disaster aid package to help California rebuild after wildfires, Sen. Kamala Harris was in Sacramento — courting the support of labor unions for her presidential campaign.

A day later, Harris was stumping in Nevada when she missed a Tuesday vote on the start of a Republican maneuver to speed up confirmation of President Donald Trump’s judicial and executive branch nominees. Harris was still in Nevada Wednesday when the Senate took more votes, including a historic vote in which Senate Republicans used the so-called nuclear option to finalize their plan to expedite Trump's nominees.

The missed votes highlight the challenge she and five of her Democratic Senate colleagues face as they struggle to balance their day jobs with the increasing demands of a presidential campaign. Complicating their decisions of when to campaign is the ascent of former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, whose unemployment gives him the freedom to crisscross the country while cable news shows cut in live to his midday events. Former Vice President Joe Biden, should he run, also would not be tethered to the Capitol.

Nothing matters more to a leftist than power.

Kamela’s California DNA/ID Rape kit scandal!

“Kamala protected a lot rapists while serving as California’s AG!”

“Unprocessed DNA/ID rape kits in California while Kamala was the state AG!”

If she had done her job as our state AG, there would not be hundreds if not thousands of DNA/ID rape Kits not processed.

Maybe some females in California and the nation can bring this scandal forward after Kamala conveniently forgot about them.

For someone who’s taken an oath to uphold, support, and defend the Constitution throughout her professional career, 2020 Democratic presidential contender Sen. Kamala Harris tends to, in the words of constitutionalist and talk host Mark Levin, “treat it like a smorgasbord,” picking the parts she likes and ignoring the parts she doesn’t.

Like not funding to process/id maybe thousands of Rape Kits in California while serving as the state’s highest ranking law enforcement person, the state’s former AG, Kamala!

Those wanting to run for office need to resign from the office they are presently in.

she’s from Californication but she is highly disrespected there
both for her way of advancing her career (see other folks’ postings) and
for her taking money under false pretenses, for a race for an office she is not eligible for

How will she respond to the inevitable question one of her competitors will ask about how many innocent brothers and sisters she unfairly put in prison?

Apparently, she left a real mess in Sacramento after she was elected to be a $inator.

Not important. What is important is that Willie says she gives great head.
