KAMALA HARRIS FATHER PISSED- GANJA COMMENT?

 
Emir 2019-02-20 17:18:28 

Kamala Harris, who admitted to smoking pot — “I did inhale” — was also asked by the host about accusations that she has, in the past, opposed legalization efforts.

“Half my family’s from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” she said.

That’s the part that apparently didn’t sit well with her dad.

She is just a little too glib -- when what is called for is gravitas.

She will learn.

Neither with me when I heard it. Not all JA's smoke or have smoked ganga.

Too often I have been assumed to be from JA and have thus smoked the stuff.

It was a bad joke and she should have known better. No ill will was intended and I am sure she will be more sensitive next time.

The office published data on the number of people treated for drugs as well as the drugs treated.


There is the issue with that stat.

Tenk you!

While some Jamaicans use ganja for tea, more Jamaicans try to make a living out of ganja than smoke it.

What is even worst about Ms Harris is her knack of making a rush to judgment.

Case in point, she was quick to make the fake attack on the gay guy on Empire a story about lynching when the police had not yet completed their investigation.

She should resign from the Senate as well as the Booker fellow. Poor judgment for persons holding such influential positions.

Kamala did not conjure up this impression of Jamaicans and Cannibals use – I don’t see her comment as a violation of any imperative of prudence --- in the age of Trump – nuf said

I thought his brains were just addled from drinking too much Trump Kool-Aid, but if I follow your drift, his scrambled mind is a product of inhaling too much of Trump’s exhaust .
