Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has publicly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her silence on California’s Proposition 36, a measure that seeks to toughen penalties for repeat theft and drug-related offenses. Proposition 36, titled the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, aims to modify the controversial Proposition 47, which was passed in 2014 and significantly reduced the penalties for several crimes, including theft and drug possession, contributing to what critics argue has been a rise in crime across the state.
In a final push before the election, Vice President Kamala Harris made an appeal to voters, and some of her supporters echoed sharp, controversial rhetoric.
