Most politicians have secrets. But for Kamala Harris, one thing she’d like to keep secret is out in the open, thanks to recent court documents.
According to a recent report from Fox News, Kamala Harris accepted a $5,000 campaign donation from none other than Donald Trump, a man she has repeatedly denounced as evil and racist.
If it was ok then…
The contribution was made by Trump in 2011, when Harris was still an up-and-comer, out of the national spotlight.
Fox reports:
Kamala Harris has a long record of political stances from her prosecutor days that don’t quite square with her current national profile as a liberal champion — but one of the most awkward items from her past may be her acceptance of a $5,000 donation from Donald Trump nearly a decade ago.
Now, court records reviewed by Fox News have provided additional details about the circumstances surrounding the contribution from the man she wants to unseat in 2020 and whose policies she now calls “vile.”
The contributions were apparently arranged by former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Harris talks a big game when it comes to Trump.
But like most politicians, she’ll accept money from anyone.
Fox continues:
But the Trumps donated to Harris’ attorney general re-election campaign three times. Aside from the $5,000 donation in 2011, Trump donated $1,000 on Feb. 20, 2013, and Ivanka Trump donated $2,000 on June 3, 2014. The Sacramento Bee and other publications reported on those donations earlier this year, but the affidavits provide more context for the transactions.
Those donations also could prove distinctly awkward for a candidate who lately has assailed Trump for his comments suggesting Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and other minority congresswomen “go back” where they came from, fix things and return to show how it’s done.
Harris slammed Trump’s comments as “vile,” “ignorant,” “shallow” and “hateful.”
Where were these sentiments in 2011, when Harris took Trump’s money?
Time and time again, candidates demonize their opponents. For Democrats, it’s become routine to denounce political foes as evil and racist.
But it’s good to remember politicians really want – money and power.
Kamala and her ilk have no scruples about taking money from Trump – it’s only when he threatens their hold on power that they suddenly decide that he’s a threat.
