Trump Camp Is Planning to 'Willie Horton' Kamala Harris

[RandySF]

I will just leave the link for anyone who wants to read. I’m not promoting attacks against Kamala but I do want everyone to be prepared. These are issues anyone living in San Francisco over the past two decades will be familiar with.

1. Do not care,

We control the narrative right now, we must not give it away.

2. She must nothave been too bad of a prosecutor. Trump donated $5,000 to her campaign,

[RandySF]

3. Excellent answer!

[onecaliberal]

4. It's just going to backfire.

[honest.abe]

5. She can handle it.

Basically ignore it and dismiss it. Something like... I have been criticized by my opponents my entire career for things in my past but here I am. Im not ashamed of or regret anything I've done. It's time to look forward not backward. The focus should be on a why a convicted criminal is the hero of the Republican party.

[Thrill]

6. They don't have anything on her from her Prosecutor days

Or they would have used it the last time. It tells you she must have been tough as hell on crime.

[onecaliberal]

7. She was.

[Johnny2X2X]

8. That's actually what they tried to use in 2020

That she was too tough on crime. They tried to blame her for black people being in jail.

9. They're welcome to try

It's only going to blow up in their collective faces.

10. Well, Democrats can always recite the felonies, bring on the battered Capitol Police who survived J6, invite all victims

of Trump's "grab 'em by the pussy" mentality to come forward, discuss all this bankruptcies, talked about how he isn't allowed to have a charity because he's a thief, etc., etc., etc. No hold barred.

11. Can anyone see the irony, and the potentially explosive danger in this for Trump?

I mean, a guy with over 80 pending indictments, 34 felony convictions and a civil rape conviction is going to "Willie Horton" his opponent?

Does he really want to give her the ability to keep laying all of that out in front of voters? And it's a rhetorical question, but are his campaign managers collectively that stupid?

[yardwork]

12. I agree that stoking fear of crime is one of the GOP's strategies.

Last time she ran, people nitpicked Harris for being too tough on criminals. That's a strength for us this time. I hope she leans in on it.

13. Of coutse. One of the campaign's co-chairs was the matermind behind the Swifrboating of John Kerry

They will do and say anything, monsters and liars.

We won’t let them get away with it.

[moonscape]

14. Knew this was going to happen. Am

in the SF Bay Area and yeah, predictable.

Can’t compete with Project 2025!

[Emile]

15. That's why Trump should be behind bars

[Ms. Toad]

16. Oddly enough, her record is too far to the right from my perspective.

It is one of the reasons that - in her brief 2020 primary tenure - I was not on team Harris.

[Dem4life1234]

17. Lol, fuck them!

The irony is that she is a prosecutor.
