For John, BLUF:  Senator Harris seems to be snakebit.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Kamala Harris’ Dad Blasts Her for Jamaican Pot Joke.

This was picked up on InstaPundit.

From Front Page Magazine, by Mr Daniel Greenfield, 19 February 2019.

Here are the InstaPundit Excerpts:

Professor Donald Harris Kamala Harris’ Jamaican father, has vigorously dissociated himself from statements made on the New York Breakfast Club radio show earlier this week attributing her support for smoking marijuana to her Jamaican heritage.  Professor Harris has issued a statement to jamaicaglobalonline.com in which he declares:

“My dear departed grandmothers(whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics.  Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

As Law Professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds said, "Ouch."
