In an interview with Fox News, Conway pointed to Harris’ record of prosecuting marijuana cases as an area where Harris would take left-wing fire over her views on criminal justice. Conway asserted at the time that those on trial would sue the senator because they were weak over crime.

Harris previously served as California’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2017.

“She is seen by those on the left, many speaking out yesterday, as not enough for criminal justice reform. She shot more than 1,500 people or so on marijuana prosecutors, and by others who are in favor of public safety. and law and order, she is seen as being soft on some of those criminals, “the White House official added. “And so, I think she has a very mixed record there that people will dig into.”
