Sheriff Mike Boudreaux of Tulare County is outraged after Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign ad used his image without consent. The footage, filmed in 2013 when Harris was California’s Attorney General, falsely suggests his support. Boudreaux condemned the ad, emphasizing he does not endorse her or any political candidate.

The controversy over Harris’s ad coincides with growing scrutiny of her record on border security. Critics argue that illegal crossings have surged under her watch as “border czar,” while the ad attempts to portray her as tough on enforcement. Boudreaux accused Harris of undermining law enforcement efforts and taking undue credit for past work.

Meanwhile, a related political scandal is unfolding as House Republicans allege that the January 6 Select Committee deleted or encrypted key records before the GOP took control. Chairman Barry Loudermilk’s forensic analysis revealed missing files, raising concerns about transparency and obstruction.

With tensions rising, the controversy highlights broader debates on government accountability. Whether it’s Harris’s ad misrepresentation or missing January 6 records, the call for transparency remains at the center of political discourse.
