Big K Lies

Kamala Harris broke the rules:
During Kamala Harris’ first-ever run for a major office back in 2003, the future vice president was mired in controversy for inflating her prosecutorial record and separately ran afoul of campaign finance rules. At the time, Harris was vying to be San Francisco district attorney general, and she was eager to fashion herself as a “veteran” prosecutor with “thirteen years of courtroom experience” who could overhaul the DA. “Kamala has tried hundreds of serious and violent felonies, including homicide, rape, and child sexual assault cases,” a mailer put out by her campaign claimed at the time. However, she didn’t actually prosecute hundreds of those cases by that point in time, as she was later forced to admit in a debate. .... In a separate instance during that election cycle, Harris got slapped with a fine for flouting San Francisco’s campaign finance laws Back in January of that year, Harris had signed a commitment to stay within a $211,000 spending limit, but her campaign later informed the San Francisco Ethics Commission that she blew past that cap by about $91,446. As a result, she wound up with a penalty of $34,000, according to the San Francisco Ethics Commission website. That was the second largest fine of its kinda listed on that site.
It's an incovenient past...
