Took a leisurely e-stroll through
the legislation Kamala Harris introduced or sponsored during her time in the Senate.

It is not an exaggeration to say the vast majority of it is inane race equity stuff, squatter’s rights, and mandating useless environmental reports:

Introduced the “Ensuring Diverse Leadership Act,” which is a generic form of affirmative action in hiring for the Federal Reserve

Introduced the “Climate Equity Act of 2020” which establishes an office at CBO with the purpose of investigating racial climate impact of every single bill

Introduced the “RELIEF Act,” which basically legalized squatting by renters

Not to be confused with the “Rent Relief Act of 2019,” which creates a tax credit for people living beyond their means

(Does encouraging people who make less than $100k to engage in irresponsible financial decision making have a disparate impact?)

The “Environmental Justice for All Act,” which in this case just means a bunch more advisory boards and programs about race & climate.

(Note that “environmental justice community” is defined to basically just mean racial minority community)

Introduced a resolution just to bash Stephen Miller generally (normal stuff, not at all bizarre vindictive behavior…)

Introduced the “CARES Congressional Oversight Commission Diversity Act of 2020,” which establishes race quotas for the commission

Introduced the “Justice in Policing Act of 2020” to lower the criminal standard for suing police and eliminate or curb qualified immunity

(To be fair, this one is substantive, it’s just terrible in substance & horrendously timed)

Introduced this generic 00s-type diversity bill that directs the Department of Education to provide grants for only women and racial minorities in STEM

Introduced the “Protecting Renters from Evictions and Fees Act of 2020,” to clarify renters could squat on privately owned property, not just federal housing

Introduced the “American Dream Employment Act of 2019” to allow illegal aliens to receive work authorization

It goes on and on like this…

So the next time someone implies you’re a bigot for thinking Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate for president, simply point them to her Senate record

If you have friends on the Hill they’ll tell you the same:

Kamala Harris was the DEI senator; she did hardly anything of substance (incl. not being able to land a punch on the Judiciary Cmte), and she had a reputation for annoying one-liners that had been workshopped for weeks
