A California sheriff is criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for using his image in a campaign ad without permission.
Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, now president of the California State Sheriffs’ Association, said he does not endorse Harris and called her 2013 visit “smoke and mirrors,” claiming she took credit for local efforts. The footage was from when Harris was state attorney general. Boudreaux accused her of defunding anti-crime task forces and called the ad misleading. The criticism comes amid scrutiny of Harris’s border policy as she campaigns to succeed President Biden.
