Kamala Harris has done more flips than a transgender Olympic gymnast. Here’s a sampling:
In her aborted 2019 campaign, she promised to ban fracking. That’s not a popular position in swing state Pennsylvania, and so now she promises not to.
She used to support “Medicare for All,” a great-sounding name for a program that would abolish private health insurance and financially wreck the existing Medicare program. Now she says “never mind.”
She mocked President Trump’s construction of a border wall as a “medieval vanity project.” While Vice President, she supported her boss’s abandonment and demolition of what Trump had constructed, and welcomed the ensuing invasion by over ten million illegal aliens. That’s not very popular in swing border states like Arizona and Nevada – or anywhere else north of the Rio Grande. She’s now saying she supports building that same wall that she mocked.
As a Senator in 2019, she co-sponsored legislation banning gasoline-powered cars by 2040. Now she says she opposes such legislation.
In her 2019 campaign for President, she advocated “mandatory buy-backs” of privately owned guns – a government confiscation that would be in flagrant violation of the Second Amendment. Now she says she disfavors that program.
As Vice President in 2022, she cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate to increase IRS funding to go after service workers who were not paying taxes on tips. Now, she has copied President Trump’s proposal to abolish federal income tax on tips.
In an utterly unfair and unworkable plan, she now proposes to tax unrealized capital gains. Money will be considered “income” and taxed as such even if it hasn’t actually “come in.”
While contending that she favors a free market, she now wants the government to set the price of groceries and other basic products.
I’ll say this about her flip-flops. Most of the flips are better than the flops; most of her new positions are better than her old ones. But it’s impossible to believe her. If she’s elected, won’t she flip back to the flops?
That’s a fair question to ask her. But she’s not taking questions. She’s refused to hold a press conference or sit for an interview since becoming the presumed Democratic nominee over a month ago. And unlike her opponent, she was not campaigning prior to that. So, here we are, two months before the election, and the Democratic candidate has never held a campaign press conference or interview.
The media naturally lets her get away with that. They know, as she knows, that she would probably do poorly in an interview. They give her a pass because they want her to win.
She has finally agreed to an interview with a sympathetic host on a sympathetic media outlet. But in a weird twist, she’ll be accompanied by an old white liar that she’s picked as her running mate. No word on whether her mom or her support Labradoodle will also be at her side.
Maybe it will be like “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” where the contestants could phone a friend for help with a question. They’ll call it “Who Wants to be President?”
At the core, this is a hard-left politician who came of age in the hard-left political caldron of San Francisco. She now seeks to edit her leftism out of her past. She has gone so far as to adopt the slogan “unburdened by the past.”
Translation: “In deciding who I would be in the future, pay no attention to who I’ve been in the past.”
She’s a fraud, and the media are consciously complicit.
N.B. The photos are a play on a famous incident of revisionist history by another hard-left outfit, the Soviet Union. The person to the right of Stalin was not actually Kamala (whose face I’ve photoshopped in) but the head of the Soviet secret police. After he fell out of favor, Stalin instructed Soviet censors to doctor the photo to remove him.
Glenn the missing person on the right in the photo is Nikolai Yezhov aka “The Poison Dwarf” who was Stalin’s head of the NKVD from 1936-38. Yezhov was barely 5 feet tall and was purged when Stalin decided he was of no more use to him. Yezhov was shot in early 1940.
Glenn, all is true. But half the people don't know all this, and if they did they wouldn't care. They will vote for Kommy Harris no matter what. I am preparing for the worst.
