Kamala Harris stressing the importance of criminal justice reform? Oh, the irony. The effing irony.

Wow seems like she could have done something about this — john cran (@johncran11) April 7, 2019

What are you saying to reckon with your own history of contributing to this problem? I think many people would like to know. — Waqar Vick Rehman (@WaqarVick) April 7, 2019

And as AG Kamala, how many of the masses did you incarcerate? — ⚡️Erick Brockway⚡️ (@erickbrockway) April 8, 2019

You built your early career doing this. You incarcerated your own race at the highest rate for minor posession. Don't pretend you woke up one day and decided to care. You are the master at pumping and pandering. — George Amash (@GeoGorath) April 7, 2019
