Liberal Senator and potential 2020 presidential candidate Kamala Harris slammed the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council this week, blasting the White House for “abdicating” the United States “moral leadership.”
Harris slammed the President on social media Sunday following his decision to remove the US from the council after years of anti-Israel bias throughout its member states.
“Make no mistake — this Administration is abdicating our country’s moral leadership,” tweeted the left-wing Senator.

HARRIS UNHINGED: Sen. Kamala Harris TRASHES SCHUMER’s Shutdown Surrender
Liberal Senator and possible 2020 presidential contender Kamala Harris blasted her Democratic colleagues for voting to re-open the federal government Monday afternoon, saying she voted against the bill to end the government shutdown because it did little to protect illegal immigrants.
A CNN congressional correspondent posted the Senator’s full statement on social media, where she slammed liberal legislators for caving to GOP demands on DACA, border security, and other immigration issues central to the Democrat decision to shutdown the federal government.
“The Majority Leader’s comments last night fell far short of the ironclad guarantee I needed to support a stopgap spending bill,” said Harris. “I refuse to put the lives of nearly 700,000 young people in the hands of someone who has repeatedly gone back on his word.”

Despite the left-leaning Senator’s opposition, the Senate voted to approve the financial resolution; passing by a margin of 80-18 after dozens of Democrats switched their votes under Schumer’s instruction.
The Democratic hold-outs include Sens. Harris, Warren, Gillibrand, Sanders, and Booker -all likely contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
HARRIS UNHINGED: The Senator Says California ‘REPRESENTS THE FUTURE’ of America
Liberal Senator and potential 2020 presidential hopeful Kamala Harris issued a stark warning to Attorney General Jeff Sessions Thursday; telling the Senior Trump aide that “California represents the future” of the United States, not the past.
Harris was speaking with MSNBC News’ Chris Hayes when she scolded Sessions for his remarks in Sacramento Wednesday night; telling a roomful of law enforcement officers that California must obey “federal statutes” regarding immigration guidelines.
“This Administration and Jeff Sessions in particular have clearly put a target on the back of California and California’s going to fight,” Harris told Hayes. “And, I think that these folks are really mired in rolling back the clock in time and that’s not going to happen. California represents the future, and they don’t like it, but there you go.”
The Senator’s harsh rhetoric comes as the war of words between the Trump administration and California officials heats up over the state’s ‘Sanctuary City’ laws.
“California, we have a problem. A series of actions and events have occurred here that directly and adversely impact the work of our federal officers,” said the Attorney General.
