Kamala Harris Backs Decriminalizing Sex Work [VIDEO]

The Root reports:

Harris says she is open to seeing sex work decriminalized. For those who have criticized her support of SESTA (The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act of 2017) and FOSTA (Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017), her willingness to explore decriminalization may be welcome news — or not.

In our interview, Harris also discussed why she feels Donald Trump is a racist (unlike presidential candidates Cory Booker or Castro, Harris flat out said Trump is a racist), and what it means to try and get votes from people who supported him despite his racist views. We also asked her to reflect on her time as a prosecutor.

Watch the full interview.

So, here’s my exclusive interview with Kamala Harris. One notable takeaway: Harris called for the decriminalization of sex work.

Kamala Harris calls for decriminalization of sex work in interview with @TheRoot. Remember: her decision to close https://t.co/cocZrNxqvq and support FOSTA remains a source of controversy for progressives who say it made sex work more dangerous https://t.co/2hcxTJXmkJ

Sen. Kamala Harris makes a lot of news:
– On decriminalizing sex work: “We can’t criminalize consensual behavior, as long as no one is being harmed.”
– On reparations: “I think there has to be some form of reparations, and we can discuss what that is.” https://t.co/kQ4WeNvErA
