Harris has yet to respond those criticisms, but when asked about the left’s growing opposition to law enforcement, she had this to say. “I think it is a false choice to suggest that communities do not want law enforcement,” Harris stressed to the GMA hosts. “Most communities do. They don’t want excessive force. They don’t want racial profiling, but then nobody should.” NBC News reported that shortly after her GMA appearance, Sen. Harris dropped her first campaign video with the slogan “Kamala Harris For the People.” “Truth, justice, decency, equality, freedom, democracy: these aren’t just words, they’re the values we as American cherish. And they’re all on the line now,” Harris says in the video. “Let’s claim our future.” Take a look: I'm running for president. Let's do this together.
