The vice president's record on marijuana prosecution was slammed by the former congresswoman after she condemned Russia's imprisonment of a basketball player.
During her time as attorney general of California, she kept prisoners in prison longer than their sentences to use them as free slave labor, yet these same people are condemning other countries for doing the same.
A Russian court sentenced a man to 9 years in prison this week after he was caught with a cannabis pen at an airport.
The sentence was denounced by U.S. officials, including Harris, who said she is trying to get the release of the man.
There is a possible trade for Britney Griener.
Today's sentencing is the continuation of Russia's wrongful imprisonment ofBrittney. Harris said on Thursday that she should be freed immediately.
Her administration has not expressed the same sentiment for people accused of marijuana crimes domestically.
While the US has people in prison for marijuana, Bilbo is trying to free himself.
"Where is your outrage for your fellow Americans who are sitting in prison right now for minor marijuana violations?" he asked. How come you don't fight harder for them to be returned home and reconciled with their families as you do for her?
The message that Harris is sending is that the rich and powerful in the United States will be treated differently than the average American.
"Unfortunately, like too many politicians, she puts her finger to the wind and decides the things she's supposed to be angry about on any given day and if it becomes politically inconvenient or damaging then she'll switch the other way."
The White House did not reply immediately.
