Kamala Harris joined Charlamagne Tha God on "The Breakfast Club" to address the controversy that stemmed from former President Barack Obama's comments, which suggested that Black men not voting for Harris could be seen as sexist. Since it rubbed a lot of voters the wrong way, Harris responded by emphasizing her commitment to earning every vote through her outreach efforts and policy work.
Key Takeaways:
- Harris discussed decriminalizing marijuana, emphasizing the need to reclassify it to help reduce penalties and the disproportionate impact of drug laws on Black men.
- She also proposed a national database for tracking officer misconduct across cities, and passing the stalled George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
- Some conservatives are upset with Harris's plan, and have called her proposals discriminatory for targeting this kind of messaging towards Black voters in general.
