Former Vice President Kamala Harris will receive protection from the California Highway Patrol after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection, law enforcement sources said Friday.
California officials put in place a plan to provide Harris with dignitary protection after Trump ended an arrangement that gave his opponent in last years election extended Secret Service security coverage.
The decision came after Newsoms office and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were in discussions Thursday evening on how best to address the situation. Harris resides in the western portion of Los Angeles.
Bass in a statement, said This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more. This puts the former Vice President in danger and I look forward to working with the governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles.

Sick and despicable act by Trump. He deliberately attempts to incite a murder.

So Who will Protect her when she's Out Traveling in America?
Hire her own Security if no other options.

If they cant stop elections and literally destroy democracy, theyll be the Loser Party for several generations.
Which they deserve.

Wonder if they will throw down futons in the ballroom for their orgies with kids.

When his failing health can't be denied anymore, even by himself, and his poll numbers decline with his base he will destroy the US. He has NO LOYALTIES to this country. In fact he hates the US and American citizens. We supply him with money and attention and THAT is all cares about. The most unpatriotic POS POTUS ever!!! He will do anything and everything to take us down with him. I agree with James Carville on this point.
