From Fox News: A 79-year-old Somali American woman in Minnesota, who was shot by an assailant ultimately released with the help of a bail fund supported by Vice President Kamala Harris, is speaking out against the vice president, telling Fox News Digital that her record raised questions about her “judgment and priorities in office.”

Halima Farah, who came to the U.S. in 2005 and became a citizen in 2011, recounted her “traumatic experience” on Jan. 2, 2021. She was shot and robbed of her rent money outside her Minneapolis apartment by De’Seanna Williams, police said at the time. Farah said she suffered bone fractures to her shoulder blade and skull, hemorrhages in her skull, lacerations on her face and had a gunshot wound to her upper thigh and buttocks area.

Williams was arrested after the attack but was bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a fund that Harris promoted during the George Floyd riots in 2020.

In a blog post on Medium on May 31, 2020, then-Sen. Harris asked for individuals to “make a contribution to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization working on the ground in Minnesota to post bail for arrested protesters.”


Harris also begged for donations to bail out the Black Lives Matter protesters in a post on Twitter on June 1, 2020.  The post is still up on her Twitter/X page.

The report explains that over $41 million was raised for the fund, and much of it has even been used to bail out defendants from prisons in Minnesota who had been charged with murder, violent felonies and sex crimes.

Since she does not speak English, Farah provided her comments to Fox News using a translator service via email.

She said, “Kamala Harris does not deserve to serve as President of the United States, and her tenure as vice president has weakened my rights. Also, her encouragement of donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund is terrible to my safety and my life.”

“The idea that the vice president would support bail for violent offenders is troubling to me and makes me fearful. It raises questions about her judgment and priorities in office,” Farah told Fox News.
