It was a big question back when it was first rumored that 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden was considering Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate: How would the California lawmaker reconcile today’s anti-police climate with her record as a rigid, and often abusive, prosecutor?
As it turns out, the answer is simple. In the rare instance when Harris is asked about violence, crime, law, and order, she simply says nothing at all. It is a neat trick, one that I suspect members of the Biden campaign press pool will allow her to get away with until someone from the outside refuses to take a nonanswer for an answer.
On Tuesday, for example, the senator was asked at a virtual fundraiser how she, as a former attorney general, would “more effectively” and “more vigorously” respond to the “continuing violence in major cities.”
Harris responded by saying a lot of nothing.
