American civil rights attorney Leo Terrell has had it ‘up to here’ with Kamala Harris, and his perception that some in the mainstream media are covering for her over her promotion of a legal defense fund for ‘protesters’.
You see, back in June, when things were just getting crazy, now Vice Presidential candidate for Joe Biden’s campaign (but not then) Kamala Harris tweeted out a link. The link was for people to donate to the ‘Minnesota Freedom Fund’, a fund to help bail out protesters, some would call potential violent rioters and looters. Harris’ tweet which still stands read:
“If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.”

Since then, and in more recent weeks, the ‘Biden/Harris’ campaign has taken a more official stance against violence from any political side, without entirely disavowing groups like ‘Black Lives Matter’ for their alleged involvement in other than peaceful protests. This comes despite another instance where Harris said protesters are not going to stop, and they shouldn’t stop. Harris told Stephen Colbert later in June:
“That’s right,” Harris replied. “But they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you.”
“They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop,” she added. “They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day.”
“Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not,” she concluded. USA Today did a ‘fact check’ stating that she was only promoting peaceful protesters and had condemned the violence, to be fair, but rhetoric can be taken many ways in our view.
Regardless, The Daily Caller reported that the Minnesota Freedom Bail fund helped to release a man who was accused of ‘sexually penetrating a child’ and Terrell is demanding some left-leaning media outlets hold her accountable. He tweeted:
“Attention @CNN @MSNBC and #MSN You have an obligation to ask @SenKamalaHarris about her support for releasing criminals. Bail Fund Promoted By Kamala Harris Helped Man Accused Of Sexually Penetrating A Child – The Daily Caller” See tweet below:

It’s yet to be seen if CNN and MSNBC will take Terrell, the former Democrat turned Trump supporter up on his push for them to hold Harris accountable.
