Kamala Harris’ support for bail fund that freed violent criminals shows how ‘tough on crime’ she really is

Kamala Harris wants you to believe she’s tough on crime because she won a San Francisco election to become district attorney, and California elections to serve as attorney general, and actually prosecuted people when that was her whole job.

By this logic, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg must be tough on crime, too.

Far more telling is her support for bailing out the 2020 George Floyd rioters, endorsing a bail fund that put violent repeat offenders back on the streets of Minneapolis.

“Chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” she tweeted as the city burned (and as Gov. Tim Walz dithered on the mayor’s request to send in the National Guard).

That endorsement helped the Minnesota Freedom Fund raise $40 million, cash it soon used to release accused murderers, rapists, and thieves.

In keeping with how Black Lives Matter nonprofits operate, only a tiny fraction of that largesse went to freeing simple protesters.

Among the sketchy recipients of the MFF bail funds:

  • Darnika Floyd got out on $100,000 after being accused of stabbing a man who refused to have sex with her; in 2021 she was convicted and sent to prison.
  • Christopher Boswell, a convicted rapist, was facing 10 felony counts including attempted rape, sexual assault and kidnapping against two women when he got released on $350,000 bail; those charges were later dropped, but he was convicted last year for heinous felonies committed in 2022
  • Bailed out in August 2021 on a domestic abuse charge, George Howard weeks later murdered Luis Martinez Ortiz in a road-rage incident; he pleaded guilty last year.
  • MFF bailed out Lionel Timms on charges of violently pummeling a bus rider who refused to give him money; a month later, he was arrested for leaving his victim with a traumatic brain injury. In 2021, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison for felony assault.

Despite the MFF’s dismal record, Harris hasn’t deleted her tweet endorsing the bail fund — which means she still stands by it, or at the very least doesn’t dare cross the hard left by deleting it.

It’s also telling that she picked Walz as her running mate despite his sorry record on crime, and not only during the 2020 riots: In his time as governor, Minnesota’s gone from well below the national average on serious crime to above it.

As on everything else, Kamala Harris hasn’t deigned to announce any actual policies on crime, but every signal she has sent is fresh reason to vote against her.
