Kamala Harris featured on cover of Elle ahead of vice presidential debate

 Washington Examiner via Conservative Review

"Hours ahead of the vice presidential debate between California Sen. Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, Elle released a cover story on the Democratic vice presidential nominee's optimism and "the fight for justice and freedom she's been waging since birth."

"Part of the magazine's Women in Politics series, the interview grounds Harris's political life in her childhood as she grew up as a black and Indian American child — following her path from growing up in Oakland to becoming a prosecutor, a senator, and now, the Democratic vice presidential nominee.

"The story documents her "get things done" attitude — whether that was getting a hold of former White House chief of staff John Kelly in the first months of her tenure in the Senate or getting white people to "fight harder against racist systems and actions" by showing them "how racism also hurts them.' " . . .


25 Questions Kamala Harris Should Be Asked in the Debate  "Wednesday’s vice presidential debate provides an opportunity for the American public to get answers from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA). 

"The Democratic vice presidential nominee should be asked the following 25 questions. This list is by no means exhaustive.

"Many of these questions were suggested by this author last month, but because they remain unanswered, I offer them again in the hope that the debate moderator will see fit to get answers from the California senator who, if elected, will be one heart beat away from the presidency." To wit:

8. Last June, you encouraged your Twitter followers to donate to a bail fund to assist protesters arrested in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, riots. Are you aware that in July this bail fund sprang from jail a man who was accused of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl? In August, the fund posted bail for a man accused of assaulting a 71-year-old woman whose home he had burglarized. In June, the fund helped bail out a man accused of stomping and robbing a victim in Minneapolis on the same day George Floyd died. Between June and August, the fund helped bail out six men who were accused of domestic violence, including two who were accused of strangling women in their homes. Do you have any words for the victims of these crimes?
