The former California attorney general, has been called out by progressive Democrats for several of her law enforcement policies in the past. But having another Black woman call her to task in such a detailed challenge made a strong impact.

“Just look at Kamala’s face, it’s like ‘I don’t lock anyone up anymore, but I’m willing to make an exception tonight.’”
