Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump is endorsing Kamala Harris for president

, citing the California senator’s record on criminal justice and comparing her campaign to former President Barack Obama’s historic White House run in 2008.

Specifically, he referenced Harris’ role as California attorney general in getting the state’s Justice Department to“Senator Kamala Harris has demonstrated an unbridled commitment to a fair and just criminal justice system from her very first days as district attorney,” Crump said in a statement obtained by POLITICO. “Our work on the outside championing reform relies on people on the inside who will make decisions informed by their cultural experiences and a willingness to listen.

“I thought she was clearly the best debater on the stage. That played a lot into my psyche,” he said. “And of all the top-tier candidates, her platform with her background spoke loudest to me.” Crump added that Harris “realizes where she can and must go further” on criminal justice issues, such as bail reform and Justice Department consent decrees. But for progressives who are critical of Harris’ record, Crump said they should take a closer look.

“I think, at the end of the day, she is gonna be more accountable to our communities of color than they are,” he added. “Based on her life experiences. Based on her lifetime of work of trying to be in the room to advocate for our causes and looking at the different programs she tried to institute when she was the chief law enforcement officer of the largest populated state in America.”

Yup Oprah Obama Hollywood are all next! 👊🏽

Politico going to report on the endorsements of all “lawyers” now ?

Who? So what?

If she gets the demacratic nomination we will have another 4 years of Traitor Trump's destruction. The American people were hardly ready for a woman when Hillary ran. A black woman will not be able to win the election.

And this is supposed to mean what?

Crumpin’

Who

Who?

The Dems surely know how to pick candidates that will almost certainly lose... the Dem party needs to reconnect with mainstream people not just minorities and ultra-progressives...the way to WH goes through mainstream USA...listen to their concerns (whether you agree or disagree)

BREAKING - Kettle endorses pot.

Amazing how democrats are supposed to be morally superior and all about women but they are endorsing a woman who slept with another woman’s husband
