Clayton Harris, a political candidate, has been criticized for his connections and actions, including donating to Ethan Hastert, whose father was imprisoned for child molestation, and receiving an endorsement from the Cook County Democratic Party, which also accepted a donation from extreme anti-choice politician Stephen Daday. Harris's campaign, led by a deeply dishonest campaign manager, has been accused of attempting to paint his opponent, Burke, as right-wing, despite Harris's own controversial actions, including supporting policies that have been criticized for releasing violent offenders and enabling them to commit more crimes. Critics have raised concerns about Harris's stance on crime and his support for policies similar to those of Kim Foxx, Cook County's progressive District Attorney, which have resulted in multi-million-dollar payouts to released convicts and have been controversial in their handling of criminal justice in Cook County.
Another Clayton Harris red flag alert. Harris has praised Kim Foxx for springing convicted killers from the slammer. Many have gone on to secure multi-million-dollar payouts in lawsuits against Chicago. Harris has vowed to continue the exonerations. https://t.co/qACFloULl5
The new bail law in Illinois is really bad in terms of empowering violent recidivist offenders to commit more crimes, but it’s especially bad in Cook County where the progressive DA Kim Foxx sees her role as maximizing the number of felons on the streets https://t.co/QLMoSke0nZ
Unreal. Just unreal. When asked what Kim Foxx's biggest mistake was in office, Clayton Harris didn't mention Foxx wrecking the SA's office, not recognizing her non-prosecution policies manifestly failed Chicago, not her release of brutish killers from behind bars, and not her… https://t.co/mOCV1XyKjZ
You know who else just accepted a donation from extreme anti-choice politician Stephen Daday? 🤔 Cook County Democratic Party 🤨 Who endorsed Clayton Harris 🤦 https://t.co/gHkdHDVk5O https://t.co/rfzVxaKAB2
Clayton Harris wanted this ped0phile criminal’s anti-choice Republican son to go to Congress so he gave him money. And his campaign has the GALL to try to try to paint Burke as “right-wing”? What’s next? Is Burke actually Melania Trump in a wig? 👀 https://t.co/FbdAyIhWdb https://t.co/ar71eYGl8b
Clayton Harris and his deeply dishonest campaign manager (who equated Burke to Trump! LOL) can lie all they want. Donations are public record. Harris donated to Ethan Hastert, whose congressman dad went to prison for molesting kids. Sick. https://t.co/rkyG3xIlGL https://t.co/7xZDvO7i7S
