Harris must prosecute her case for the presidency
By Harry Litman / Los Angeles Times
CHICAGO — The presidential campaign is shaping up to be a tale of two prosecutors, both named Kamala Harris.
Harris’ record as a tough-on-crime prosecutor was a constant refrain through much of the Democratic National Convention.
Last Monday, the convention featured an ad parodying the television series “Law & Order” that asserted, “We need a president who has spent her life prosecuting perpetrators like Donald Trump.” Tuesday’s program was even more blunt, including a five-minute video showcasing Harris as a crusading prosecutor who unflinchingly locked up murderers, rapists and child molesters.
A series of speakers echoed that theme, touting Harris’ lock-’em-up bona fides. In his headlining speech Tuesday, former President Barack Obama cast Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, as an uncompromising prosecutor. As with the string of speakers making similar points, Obama focused on red-meat invocations of rapists, child molesters and other sexual predators.
