Title: Kamala Harris' father issues a scathing statement decrying 'travesty' of daughter's marijuana commen

Not to mention her comments completely contradict her actions.

Sen. Kamala Harris upset her father when she talked on a radio show about supporting marijuana legalization because "Half my family's from Jamaica," according to The Washington Times.

Donald Harris, Kamala's father, is an economics professor at Stanford, and is Jamaican. He issued a scathing statement to Jamaica Global Online distancing himself and his family from his daughter's remarks.
"My dear departed grandmothers (whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty."

I just loved this! Thank you, Donald Harris. If this shrew gets the nomination or is on the ticket as VP, this should be front and center in GOP ads.

Clearly Kamala didn't give her dad a heads up about her plan to tie the family to identity politics.


Probably should have done that.

Even Harris' father finds her despicable.  She will be lucky to last to Iowa.  I see her falling like Gov Walker in the 2016 primary.

Next Thanksgiving might be interesting at the Harris household.   Pass the Ganja pops.    :cool:

Maybe her father should be the one running for president...
