Kamala Harris’ dad says parents are ‘turning in their grave’ over her comments on weed and being Jamaican
The father of Sen. Kamala Harris is trying to distance himself from the 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful after she said her pot smoking in college stemmed from her Jamaican heritage.
Harris, D-Calif., told the nationally syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club” earlier this month that she supports marijuana legalization at the federal level, and acknowledged that she’s smoked pot in the past, saying: “I have. And I inhaled. I did inhale.”
KAMALA HARRIS, PUSHING LEGAL MARIJUANA, SAYS SHE SMOKED POT IN COLLEGE: ‘AND I INHALED’
The senator re-emphasized her use when asked by the hosts about rumors that she opposes marijuana legalization.
“That’s not true. Look, I joke about it, I have joked about it. Half my family is from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” Harris said, laughing.
