A video showing Vice President Kamala Harris' desire for totalitarian power has gone viral again. And they once again explain why critics call her a “communist.”
In one of their more chilling stories, Trump supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalled that Harris had arrested a woman because her daughter was absent from school due to sickle cell anemia. Ta. The second reiterates Harris' relentless threat to shut down social media platforms she claims are spreading “hate.”
These videos join many others depicting power-hungry women with little respect for America's traditional rights and freedoms or the federal Constitution.
School refusal madness
In July, the Washington Free Beacon detailed the story Kennedy told.
When she became California's attorney general in 2011, Harris warned that she was “reminding parents” to make sure their children attend school.
“If you fail in your responsibilities to your children, we will work to ensure that you face the full force and consequences of the law,” she said.
It's unclear what Harris, who doesn't have children, knows about “responsibility to children.” However, “Harris repeatedly emphasized the need to crack down on truancy during her law enforcement career,” the Free Beacon continued.
“These kids are bound to end up in our criminal justice system,” Harris said while testifying in favor of a statewide truancy bill. In her 2011 inaugural address, Harris said, “The time has come to seriously address California's chronic truancy problem.'' She said that as San Francisco district attorney, she “threatened to prosecute the parents of truant children” and saw the truancy rate drop.
(As Kennedy pointed out, the real problem wasn't truancy; rather, California was losing “$1.8 billion a year to truancy.”)
Regardless, Cherry Peoples, a black single mother, was arrested in 2013 on Harris' order to jail parents of children who fail to attend school.
Peoples' little girl, Sheila, did not miss school because Peoples was irresponsible. She didn't skip school because she was doing drugs. She didn't skip school because she did something bad. She missed school for a good reason.
According to the Free Beacon, she missed 20 days due to chronic pain caused by sickle cell anemia.
“Officers arrested Cherry for violating the truancy law, a misdemeanor punishable by a $2,500 fine and up to one year in prison,” the website reported.
Peoples, who had a young son at the time of her arrest, fought the court system for two-and-a-half years to have her arrest quashed, but she feared it would negatively impact her future job prospects.
Kennedy said Sheila was on the run for 60 days, but Harris jailed the mother of a sick child anyway. People “even had 504 plans, which are agreements between school districts and parents to provide care for students with disabilities,” the website continued. “Mr. Peoples was ultimately arrested after refusing to take Sheila to school to prove to administrators that her daughter was indeed ill.”
“This is communist tyranny,” Logan O'Handley (aka DC_Draino) wrote on X.
Goodbye X
As if locking up innocent parents wasn't enough, years later, when she ran for the Democratic presidential nomination, Harris vowed to prosecute social media companies that fail to censor unpopular opinions.
In her speech at the NAACP, Harris said, “If I become president, hate speech on social media will stop.” “We're going to put the U.S. Department of Justice back in the business of justice,” Harris fumed.
We will redouble our civil rights offices and direct law enforcement to counter this extremism. We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate that permeates them, because we have a responsibility to help fight this threat to our democracy.
And when you profit from hate, when you act as a megaphone for misinformation and cyberwar, when you fail to police your platforms, we as a community will hold you accountable.
There's no need to wonder who defined “hate” and “misinformation.”
The video also prompted X users to call her a “communist.”
“This should be a genuine communist ad,” Raging Patriots wrote.
Of course, this was not Harris' first threat to falsely prosecute Americans.
In 2007, as San Francisco district attorney, she warned gun owners that they reserved the right to invade their homes.
“Just because you legally possess a gun in the locked, sacred space of your home, we can’t enter your home and make sure you’re acting responsibly and safely. “That doesn't mean we're not going to check it out. It's your problem,” she warned.
In response to this threat, Harris warned during her 2019 campaign that she would act unilaterally if Congress did not comply with her gun control mandates.
My agenda includes getting Congress to act, and if Congress doesn't act within the first 100 days of my administration, I will take executive action. Because what we need is action.
The threats were so unstoppable that even then-candidate Joe Biden said such measures were unconstitutional.
At the third Democratic primary debate in Houston in 2019, Biden reiterated that the president cannot simply issue executive orders. “We have the Constitution,” Biden said.
“Hey, Joe, instead of saying, 'No, I can't,' say, 'Yes, I can,'” Harris replied with an annoying grin.
