Kamala Harris’s Campaign Ad Backfires Spectacularly
In a jaw-dropping display of political tone-deafness, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has managed to tick off the very law enforcement officials it aimed to court. Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, a staunch Republican and Trump supporter, found himself unwittingly starring in a Harris campaign ad – and boy, is he not happy about it.
The ad, which attempts to paint Harris as a tough-on-crime “border state prosecutor,” has instead exposed the vast chasm between Harris’s carefully crafted image and the reality experienced by those on the front lines of law enforcement. Sheriff Boudreaux didn’t mince words when he called out the Vice President’s team for their underhanded tactics.
A Tale of Two Politicians: Harris vs. Trump on Law Enforcement
While Harris’s campaign struggles to convince voters of her law enforcement credentials, Sheriff Boudreaux’s endorsement of Donald Trump speaks volumes. The contrast couldn’t be starker: on one side, we have a Vice President whose campaign resorts to misleading ads and unauthorized image use; on the other, a former President who has consistently vocalized support for law enforcement.
“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 said in a statement issued to Fox News Digital
This incident isn’t just about a misused image. It’s a microcosm of the broader disconnect between Harris’s carefully curated public persona and the experiences of those who’ve worked with her.

According to Boudreaux, Harris’s visit was less about engaging with local law enforcement and more about political posturing. “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 recounted. This behavior speaks volumes about Harris’s priorities and her actual regard for the men and women on the front lines of public safety.
“The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border,” Boudreaux said
But it gets worse. Boudreaux and Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward have accused Harris of actively undermining law enforcement efforts during her tenure as California’s Attorney General. They claim she defunded and shuttered crucial task forces, leaving the state more vulnerable to criminal activities. It’s a far cry from the “tough on crime” image her current campaign is desperately trying to project.
The Bottom Line: Actions Speak Louder Than Ads
As we hurtle towards another contentious election, voters would do well to look beyond slick campaign ads and carefully crafted narratives. Sheriff Boudreaux’s outspoken criticism of Harris serves as a stark reminder that when it comes to law enforcement and border security, actions speak louder than words – or in this case, unauthorized campaign footage.
While Harris’s team scrambles to explain away this embarrassing misstep, one thing is abundantly clear: in the eyes of many in law enforcement, Kamala Harris’s record falls far short of her campaign’s lofty claims. As Americans weigh their options for the nation’s highest office, they’d be wise to consider who truly has the back of those who protect and serve.
