Statement on the Selection of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's Running Mate

ORANGE COUNTY, CA - Hon. Fred M. Whitaker, Chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County, released the following statement:

“Today’s announcement should be clear to every American that Joe Biden is no moderate. In selecting Senator Kamala Harris, a San Francisco liberal, as his running mate he will oversee the most liberal administration in American history. We cannot let that happen.
 
As Californians we know intimately the lack of experience and accomplishment Kamala brings to the Democrat ticket. 
 
In 2016 after 8 years of turmoil, the American people rejected the damage inflicted by an inexperienced less than one term Senator done to our economy and national security, electing President Trump.
 
Kamala Harris is not qualified to serve as Vice President of the United States or if called upon - President of the United States. Democrat primary voters made that clear just months ago and that is still true today.
 
As Attorney General of California she failed to prosecute dangerous criminals and oversaw an unsustainable increase in crime while targeting low income parents for school delinquency. As a United States Senator, Harris has no real accomplishments.  Her political ambitions are carried on the backs of hard working Californians ravaged by her weakness on crime.
 
California families are less safe because of Senator Harris. Her selection all but guarantees the Democrats’ call for defunding police departments and release of 18,000 dangerous criminals in California will spread into a national nightmare. 
 
There is no daylight between Kamala Harris and her extreme allies in Congress Gil Cisneros, Harley Rouda, Katie Porter and Mike Levin. As California Republicans we will spend the next 84 days stopping Kamala Harris from coming within a heartbeat of the presidency.”
