Ep. 268: Kamala Harris: A Kalifornia Kalamity
California Underground Podcast: Discussing California Politics Through a Lens of Sanity

Summary
In this episode, Phil and Camille discuss Kamala Harris and her past as a California politician. They explore her relationship with Willie Brown, her time as San Francisco District Attorney, and her role as California Attorney General. They highlight instances where Harris withheld exculpatory evidence and refused to release inmates, all while benefiting from their cheap labor. The hosts question her leadership abilities and ethical decision-making. Her unimpressive 2020 presidential campaign, in which she dropped out before the Iowa caucuses, further highlighted her weaknesses as a candidate. Harris's record on criminal justice reform and her flip-flopping on important issues have made her unpopular among both the left and the right. As she takes on the role of vice president, her past actions and decisions are likely to come back to haunt her.
