Another day, another example of dishonesty from the Kamala Harris campaign, and now she’s being called out by a California sheriff over a misleading advertising spot.
In the 30-second ad that looks to gaslight voters about the failed record of Joe Biden’s “border czar” while misleadingly claiming that she’s tough on border security, the Democrat nominee is pictured with law enforcement officers including Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, but he was featured without his permission.
The Kamala Harris campaign is up on TV with multiple new ads this a.m. —
This spot is focused on border security

“As president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is tough. So is… pic.twitter.com/qb2wS5CLml

“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,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Sheriff Boudreaux, a 37-year veteran of the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office and president of the California State Sheriffs’ Association, described a 2013 visit from the then California Attorney General Harris.
“The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border,” adding that her visit 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,” he said. “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.”
Boudreaux also slammed Harris during a Tuesday “Fox & Friends” appearance.

“For me and law enforcement to see my face and image along with my law enforcement counterparts being represented as standing alongside Kamala Harris was truly disheartening,” he said. “We do not support Kamala Harris. She has a history of not supporting law enforcement and I just wanted to come out and say for me in Tulare County, the sheriff of Tulare County, looking out for victims, looking for someone who’s going to support criminal justice and law enforcement, that is, that’s represented by Donald Trump, not Kamala Harris.
“As Attorney General, Kamala Harris undercut efforts by California law enforcement officials to stop criminals from flooding our state with guns and drugs across the border,” Sheriff Boudreaux said in a statement.

“She repeatedly defunded and shuttered task forces designed to protect our residents, leaving the Valley and our state vulnerable,” he added. “Kamala’s sad attempt to paint herself as tough on the border by implying my support – and the support of neighboring law enforcement leaders – is pathetic.”
“A politician crowding the podium at a press conference clearly hasn’t solved our border crisis,” Boudreaux said. “Neither has Kamala Harris.”
