So, you know how the internet never forgets, right? Well, it looks like Kamala Harris is getting a taste of that digital memory right now. Back in 2020, she was all about defunding the police. Flash forward, and things seem to have taken a drastic turn for her. Now, after losing her job, she’s not running for governor. She couldn’t even pull a crowd at a Lakers game. Sitting in the cheap seats, not a soul cared to see her. She’s gone from being in the limelight to being laughed at by her supposed supporters—talk about irony.
Here’s where it gets good. Recently, Kamala Harris is in the news for a pretty stark case of “do as I say, not as I do.” After President Trump cut her Secret Service protection, she suddenly ended up with a whole bunch of LAPD officers dedicated to guarding her. It’s rather surprising considering how much she praised the idea of defunding the police departments and reallocating those funds elsewhere. The same folks she once criticized as part of an overblown police budget are now her personal shield. Talk about a turn of events, right?
It’s quite a spectacle; Kamala Harris with 14 top officers from the LAPD protecting her mansion, prioritizing her safety over the everyday safety concerns of Los Angeles citizens. It really raises eyebrows when those officers are coming from crime suppression efforts to sit outside her house. It seems like policing resources in the city have been redirected to look after someone no longer holding any political office or planning to run for one.
The public reaction to this has been anything but quiet. Social media users and residents, including some reality TV stars, are openly questioning why their tax dollars are being used to protect someone who once declared that more police doesn’t mean more safety. They’re asking why these officers aren’t being used to address the real crime problems in Los Angeles—a city that’s facing rising crime rates and needs all hands on deck.
Seems like Kamala Harris is living in a bubble, a protective one funded by the very entity she once claimed needed scaling back. It’s an interesting reflection of how quickly things can change, and it underscores a bit of hypocrisy that can’t be ignored. Maybe it’s just one more reminder that what goes around, comes around, and sometimes it comes with a side of irony.
