As Twitchy told you yesterday, Sen. Kamala Harris took aim at the GOP tax bill but ended up hitting Dems hard:
6.1 million California taxpayers claimed the state and local tax deduction in 2015, with the average deduction around $18,000. Eliminating this deduction would hurt hard-working California families.

Harris really didn’t make the point she was hoping for:

However, Harris’s tweet is starting to make sense, in a “California progressive” kind of way:

Because California progressives care so much about U.S. taxpayers, this is on the table:
California lawmakers propose spending $1 billion a year to provide health care to immigrants living in the state illegally. https://t.co/8e4NRYoFgn

Well good luck with that!

Why am I expected to subsidize hard working Californians to pay for their reckless progressive government? Asking for a hard working Hoosier. https://t.co/JYIIDm5BOx

That didn’t work out the way Harris had hoped.
