A county sheriff in California has expressed strong displeasure after Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s campaign ad featured him without his consent. Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, a veteran with 37 years of service who now leads the California State Sheriffs\u2019 Association, said he was \u201creally upset\u201d that his image was used in the advertisement without any prior consultation or permission.<\/p>\n
Unapproved Use of Image
\nSheriff Boudreaux stated that the footage used in the ad was filmed in 2013 in California\u2019s Central Valley, during the time when Kamala Harris served as California\u2019s Attorney General. In his official remarks, Boudreaux made it clear that he does not endorse Harris for president\u2014or any other political office\u2014and condemned the ad for misrepresenting his stance. \u201cIn light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff [Mike] Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, my image is being used without my permission,\u201d he said. \u201cI do NOT endorse her candidacy for any political office.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allegations Against the Select Committee
\nThe controversy deepens with additional allegations regarding the handling of data by the Select Committee on January 6. The committee, established by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is accused of deleting or password-protecting nearly two terabytes of data just days before the Republicans took over the House last year. According to a report by the New York Post, the House Administration Committee\u2019s Oversight Subcommittee discovered that during the transition to GOP control in January 2023, over 100 files were either encrypted or deleted from hard drives. These files were expected to be part of the archived records that the committee was required to deliver to Republican Chairman Barry Loudermilk of Georgia. Instead of the promised four terabytes, only two terabytes of data were provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
