From Naked Capitalism's comments:

Kamala Harris;

*”I worked tirelessly to choose my parents so as to be your first African-American-Indian senator.”

*”Under color of diversity I can represent Wall Street’s interests. Even Steven Mnuchin donated money to me!”

“Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is defending a decision she made as California’s attorney general not to charge President-elect Donald Trump’sTreasury secretary nominee with violating state foreclosure laws.

Steven Mnuchin, from 2009 to 2015, ran OneWest, a California-based bank, where he oversaw more than 36,000 foreclosures. Harris was California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2017, when she joined the Senate.

A 2013 internal memo from the California attorney general’s office, first published by The Intercept,

alleged Mnuchin violated state foreclosure laws and recommended filing charges against him. The memo, the result of a yearlong investigation, claims Mnuchin violated notice and waiting period laws, manipulated legal documents and rigged foreclosure auctions, but Harris declined to charge him.”

He even gave her a nice tip, which she gratefully accepted:
