Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., is an interesting figure in that conservatives see her as a radical and liberals are increasingly questioning whether her progressive bonafides are even legitimate.

That intraparty debate, which surfaced this week after a Mic article highlighted Harris’ so-called “Bernieland problem,” was inevitable. Back on July 21, I predicted the freshman senator’s upcoming trip to schmooze with corporate titans in the Hamptons was an early sign she’s more Hillary than Bernie, making Harris also more likely to exacerbate the party’s divisions than heal them.
