A woman who was violently attacked by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco while Kamala Harris was district attorney warned about the Democrat nominee’s “scary” crime agenda.
Amanda Kiefer spoke about the current vice president’s record as a prosecutor in California as she testified before a House committee hearing on the border and the effect of illegal migrants on crime under the Biden-Harris administration. She shared her thoughts and her warnings about Harris’s agenda should she be elected as president during an interview with “Fox & Friends First” on Thursday.
“The crime in San Francisco was so bad when I was there, and I’ve heard that it’s gotten so much worse even since then due to liberal policies… If that’s how the rest of the country is going to be under Kamala Harris as president, that’s just scary. It really is,” Kiefer said.

Kiefer spoke out about the brutal attack she survived in 2008 when Harris was the progressive DA. The Democrat presidential nominee is now touting her record as a prosecutor, having also served as the attorney general of California before becoming a U.S. senator.
According to Fox News:
Kiefer was walking with a group of friends in a “nice neighborhood” in 2008 when 20-year-old Alexander Izaguirre stole her purse and then attempted to run her down in a waiting SUV, fracturing her skull.
Izaguirre was in the country illegally and had been arrested a few months prior to the attack on drug charges. But he was free due to a program launched by then-District Attorney Harris that allowed nonviolent offenders to avoid jail by entering job training and having their records expunged.
“He was given the option to stay out of prison, to train for jobs he couldn’t legally hold on the taxpayer dollar,” Kiefer told Fox News’ Carley Shimkus.
She also called out Democrats who have downplayed the hearings in Congress being led by Republicans such as “The Consequences of Soft-On-Crime Policies” hearing in which she testified.
“There weren’t many members of Congress that were there on the Democrat side. They think this is irrelevant. They’re not interested… to be that callous, to not want to hear the stories of people who have lost their loved ones to crime caused by having an open border of unvetted invaders basically coming into this country… It just shows you exactly where their mindset is,” she said.
Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy shared an image online that showed how disinterested Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and an aide were at the hearings.

“Most Dems skipped the hearing,” wrote Rep. Thomas Massie in a post on X that included a compilation video of four witnesses who testified before the Judiciary Committee.
“Warning: it’s hard not to cry if you listen to these stories of victims of illegal immigrants,” the Kentucky Republican wrote.

The Biden-Harris open border policy has had devastating consequences.

Kiefer called out the left’s “commitment to that Marxist principle that criminals are just victims of capitalism, that somehow a job or handout will eliminate their tendency toward violent crime.”
“No-bail laws, later sentencing, and identity politics-driven leniency put violent people on the streets again to harm others,” she said. “There’s no fear of being caught or any reason to stop committing crimes.”
“It’s a gut punch,” she added. “It’s unfair. It’s heartbreaking, and Americans need to stop putting up with it. No one’s taking accountability for failing to keep the American people safe.”
