now now kamel harris has been known for playing up the idea that there is a russian threat she's been alleging that russian bots are out to get her that she's being targeted by some kind of russian campaign but probably the most controversial thing about camila harris is her record as a criminal prosecutor in the state of california she jailed the parents of children who were truant from school and was caught on tape laughing about it and she also put many people in prison for smoking marijuana but then in a recent interview she laughed about the fact that she smoked marijuana herself as a college student told. gabbert the candidate of the democratic party went after her in a debate called her out over her record as a prosecutor and apparently that moment did hurt camila harris in the polls now we've heard from donald trump he's spoken out about the fact that joe biden selected pamela harris as his running mate and donald trump has said that she was a weak candidate and that he's quite surprised that his opponent joe biden has selected kaamelott harris especially due to her controvers
