Harris once boasted of 'behind the scenes' work to get 'every' trans inmate access to gender surgeries
Fox News
Kamala Harris bragged in 2019 about her role in changing California policy, so that "every" transgender inmate in the state could receive taxpayer-funded gender surgeries.
His remarks were immediately met with bewilderment by members of the media and Harris supporters, who suggested the claim was untrue.
"When I was Attorney General I learned that the California Department of Corrections, which was a client of mine – I didn't get to choose my clients … they were standing in the way of surgery for prisoners," Harris said during the 2019 interview. "And there was a specific case. When I learned about the case, I worked behind-the-scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman got the services she was deserving – it was not only about that case – I made sure that they changed the policy in the state of California so that every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desire and need."
