It began as a lighthearted moment. Senator Kamala Harris, the California Democrat and former prosecutor who announced her presidential candidacy last month, revealed on a popular radio show this week that she had smoked marijuana during her college years at Howard University in Washington.

Roland Martin responded to the manufactured outrage and right wing media's attempt to "fact-check" Sen. Harris saying she smoked weed listening while listening to Tupac.
