Kamala Harris is skipping over another important topic… this time involving prostitution

Vice President Kamala Harris is still undecided on whether prostitution should be legal, having taken different positions on the issue over the course of her career.

Harris supported the idea of ​​decriminalizing prostitution during her failed 2020 presidential campaign, during a interview with The Root.

“I think so,” she replied when asked during an interview whether “sex work” should be decriminalized.

“When it comes to consenting adults, I think we do have to take into account that we cannot criminalize consenting behavior as long as no one is harmed by it.”

But it is clear that her position on this issue has completely reversed itself from the position she had taken almost a decade earlier.

Harris’s stance on the issue was challenged by people in San Francisco who recalled her position opposing a referendum in the city to decriminalize prostitution.

“I think it’s completely ridiculous, in case there’s any ambiguity about my position,” she said in 2008 about legalizing prostitution.

She warned residents that “it would be a welcome mat for pimps and prostitutes who want to come to San Francisco.”

Harris’ campaign did not respond to a weeks-old request from DailyMail.com for comment on the matter.

Axios also reported Tuesday that Harris’ campaign declined address the. The New York Post reported last week that Harris’ campaign also refused to raise the issue.

But Harris was not unsympathetic to prostitutes when she was San Francisco’s district attorney.

In 2004, Harris declined to prosecute nine women arrested by police officers for prostitution after police targeted area strip clubs for criminal activity following multiple complaints from the public.

According to reports, undercover agents were approached by female employees for sexual acts within minutes.

“I’m amazed,” Vice Captain Tim Hettrich said at the time, criticizing Harris for “almost legalizing prostitution.”

Because Harris refused to prosecute the women arrested for prostitution, she was named on Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s show in 2004.

O’Reilly cited the story and referred to Harris as a prosecutor “in the most liberal city in the country” who refused to enforce the law.

“Is there outrage over this kind of anarchy?” O’Reilly asked his guest, San Francisco columnist Debra Saunders, who reported on the story.

Harris argued at the time that she would not prosecute the prostitutes without evidence to prosecute their clients.

But O’Reilly warned his viewers that the issue of legalized or decriminalized prostitution would be a bigger problem.

“The San Francisco syndrome, as I call it, is now spreading to other cities,” he warned, pointing out that just because some city officials don’t like the laws doesn’t mean they get to choose whether or not to enforce them.

“And that, of course, brings anarchy to any community,” he concluded.
