A newly resurfaced tweet from 2019 has gone viral again, in which now-Vice President Kamala Harris’ father publicly took her to task over a remark she made that appeared to stereotype Jamaicans.

Harris, who was running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, admitted she smoked pot and supported marijuana legalization because “half my family’s from Jamaica” during an interview in February of that year, which led her father to publicly rebuke her for fraudulently stereotyping Jamaicans as “pot-smoking joy seekers” and accused his daughter of pursuing “identity politics.”

Donald Harris, a retired Stanford professor, refuted his daughter’s linking of her Jamaican heritage to pot smoking during her appearance on “The Breakfast Club” morning radio program

.

“My dear departed grandmothers…as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their graves right now to see their family’s name, reputation, and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” he said in a statement to Jamaica Global Online before his Breakfast Club appearance.

“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty,” Donald Harris added.

Kamala Harris appeared on the nationally syndicated morning show to discuss her 2020 presidential campaign, criminal justice reform, and the legalization of marijuana in the U.S. During the 44-minute interview, she addressed rumors that she is opposed to legalizing pot in America.

“That’s not true,” Harris said. “And look, I joke about it— half joking—half my family is from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?”

Later, host Charlamagne Tha God asked Harris whether she had personally smoked the drug. “I have. And I inhaled. I did inhale. It was a joint,” Harris said, noting that she smoked while in college.

“So if it was legalized all throughout the country, and medicinal, would you again?” Charlamagne asked.

“Listen,” Harris responded, “I think that it gives a lot of people joy, and we need more joy.”

She added: “Not all drugs are the same. We have incarcerated so many, particularly young men—and young men of color—in a way that we have not, for the same level of use, other young men. And we’ve got to deal with that.”

Republicans criticized President Joe Biden and Harris’s long-term proposal on Monday to reshape the Supreme Court as a way to politicize the judicial system.

“President Biden and I are calling on Congress to pass important reforms – from imposing term limits for Justices’ active service, to requiring Justices to comply with binding ethics rules just like every other federal judge. These popular reforms will help to restore confidence in the Court, strengthen our democracy, and ensure no one is above the law,” Harris said in a statement.

“The proposals include an 18-year term limit and requirements that justices disclose gifts, avoid political activity, and recuse themselves over conflicts of interest. They also pitched a constitutional amendment that would rescind the Supreme Court’s July finding that presidents have presumed immunity for the core functions of their office,” the New York Post reported.

Harris acknowledged that she contributed to the plan’s formulation but did not host any public events to promote it.

“I’ve made clear how I feel about Kamala and she’s been an incredible partner to me and a champion of surprise throughout her career,” Biden said in his speech promoting the changes.

“And she’ll continue to be an inspiring leader and project the very idea of America — the very idea that we’re all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives,” he added.
