46: Kamala Kanye King

Kamala Harris and the Truancy Prosecution Program

Kamala Harris is heard describing her use of "political capital" as District Attorney to threaten parents of truant children with jail time. While she argues this was intended to prevent future crime, critics see it as an example of her "lock-em-up" approach to social issues. The hosts discuss the disconnect between her past actions and her current "progressive prosecutor" branding.
