California sheriff used in Harris campaign ad DISAVOWS Kamala: 'she did nothing to stop people illegally crossing the border'

A California sheriff blasted Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign on Tuesday for using his image and likeness in a campaign ad without his permission and slammed the "border czar" VP for not stopping illegal border crossings.

“In light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, the Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office,” Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux told Fox News.



The sheriff was less than pleased to find out that his image and likeness were being used without his permission for the benefit of the campaign. Boudreaux has spent 37 years in Tulare County's Sheriff's Office and is currently California State Sheriffs’ Association President. The advertisement used video of when he was in the Central Valley, and while he could not remember the whole of the circumstances of Harris' visit, he did remember Harris’ attitude in particular.

He described the visit that Harris made to the Central Valley when she was the California Attorney General as he spoke to reporters at the outlet. "I would like to point out the misleading information projected in that same political ad," Boudreaux said. "In the ad, Harris claims to have spent decades fighting violent crime as a ‘border state prosecutor.’ The facts are that ‘then California Attorney General Kamala’ came to the Valley in 2014 touting a years-long investigation into a multi-national drug operation, with ties to Mexican drug cartels and prison gangs."

In the case, 11 people had been arrested, including suspected "kingpin" Jose Magana of Dinuba, and Harris wanted to make an appearance.

"The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border," Boudreaux said. He added that the appearance from Harris to the Central Valley was all “smoke and mirrors.”

"We were in the green room. She never came in and said hello to any of us. She walked up front, gave her presser, literally walked out, never said hi to any of us," Boudreaux added. "I'm disgusted because, you know, she didn't shake hands. She didn't say hello. And she's taken credit for all this work that the locals did."
