That doesn't change the front the the flyer which people wouldn't stand by if it was a republican candidate? Unless you want to argue it's not racially coded in any way.
Eh, here's the
Guardian article I was originally thinking of but it didn't have the image. The flyer 100% went out.
To be clear, I'm not standing by the flyer. But when the article says
"
Inside the flyer, the Harris campaign argued that Hallinan had failed to keep communities safe from surging gang violence, pointing to his low conviction rate."
When in reality, most of it leans in on the idea of too many black and brown kids in jail creating a cycle of crime, where gangs are the only option available to kids, that needs to be addressed with stuff like mentorship programs, it's clear that the article is not really providing fair criticism.
And I do think there are very fair criticisms against her record as prosecutor/DA
(I've made some myself) -- I just think it's a stretch to suggest she was a 'put kids in jail and throw away the key' caricature. She could have and can do better, but this is what her opponent, characterized by The Intercept as the super progressive DA, said after she beat him:
"I congratulate Kamala for running a great race," Hallinan said. "She made a big effort, a successful effort, at targeting my voters. She pretty much adopted my entire agenda."
Thanks!
