Harris had no problem charging and jailing people for simple marijuana offenses when she served as San Francisco district attorney.
GABBARD: I want to bring the conversation back to the broken criminal justice system that is disproportionately negatively impacting black and brown people all across this country today. Now Senator Harris says she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president.
But I’m deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence — she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.GABBARD: Bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.
So those who Harris charged with state charges will not receive a pardon because Biden’s change only applies to federal charges.
