She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

    Because she’s black and she’s a woman.

    Same reason why Hillary Clinton was widely respected every year except when she ran against a man.

      While this is certainly part of it (and all of it for a large number of people), I think it is overly simplistic view and disregards her past as a DA in which she enforced a draconian truancy program.
