David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, claims that the new Republican presidential candidate Kamala Harris has called Bitcoin "money for criminals."
Bailey also claims that Harris has spent the past four years undermining the crypto industry by collaborating with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler and Senator Elizabeth Warren to impose anti-crypto regulations, including Operation Choke Point.
I’m sorry, but you don’t get to just screw our industry over for 4 years, push operation choke point, enlist Gensler and Warren as your Champions, and then just pretend you’re hip with Bitcoin. Major democrat donor told me Kamala says privately “Bitcoin is money for criminals”

He criticized the administration of current President Joe Biden for jailing developers and pushing the industry overseas, saying Harris cannot now portray himself as a supporter of Bitcoin.
In Harris’ defense, Hayden Adams, CEO of Uniswap Labs, said that she has never publicly spoken for or voted on any crypto-related legislation. He also urged caution against jumping to conclusions without concrete evidence.
