(The Center Square) – Vice President Kamala Harris was once anti-fracking and opposed to former President Donald Trump’s tough immigration policies.
Now, it’s apparently a different story.
In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash this week, Harris was asked about the change in her stance on fracking. Fracking is a major industry and economic driver in the swing state of Pennsylvania, a state where Harris is up a slim 0.8%, according to Real Clear Politics’ polling average.
Harris said during a town hall in 2019 that there is “no question” she supports banning fracking. During the CNN interview, Harris said she does not want to ban fracking and that she “made that clear on the debate stage in 2020.”
“As vice president I did not ban fracking, and as president I will not ban fracking,” Harris said.
Harris has previously said she supports a ban on fracking, offshore drilling, and plastic straws. She also said she supports passing the Green New Deal, which includes a treasure trove of far-left energy policies.
Harris’ inconsistency on the fracking issue has drawn criticism.
”If Kamala Harris can so quickly reject her firm energy positions from the past, there is no telling how quickly she’ll renounce today’s positions in the future,” Daniel Turner, who leads the energy workers advocacy group, Power the Future, said in a statement. “Just like Vice President Harris abandoned her support for Joe Biden after telling the American people he was perfectly fine, she will abandon any position she pretends to have now. Harris is bankrolled by green billionaires who want to ensure the funding of their pet projects continue, so it’s beyond clear that she doesn’t care about the truth of her energy positions, she cares only about keeping the tax dollars flowing.”
During the same CNN interview, Harris said those who illegally cross the border should face “consequences.”
“We have laws that have to be followed and enforced that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally,” Harris said. “And there should be consequence. And let’s be clear, in this race, I’m the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who traffic in guns, drugs, and human beings. I’m the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws. And I would enforce our laws as president going forward. I recognize the problem.”
However, Harris posted on then-Twitter in 2017 that “an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.”
Harris had also mocked Trump’s border wall during the Trump administration as a “vanity project” but has now expressed her support for a Senate immigration bill that allocates $650 million for building the border wall.
“Funding Trump’s unrealistic border wall would be a gross misuse of taxpayer money,” Harris wrote on Twitter in April of 2018.
A year earlier, Harris called Trump’s wall a “ stupid use of money” and pledged to “block any funding for it.”
It is possible the border wall funding was a concession Harris was willing to make rather than a policy goal.
However, any policy changes are notable since Harris has offered unusually few details on her platform if she were elected president.
Harris’ main campaign website offers no policy platform, and her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention largely avoided policy specifics.
Trump took a jab at Harris at a recent rally on this point.
“Now she’s saying ‘oh we want to build a strong border,’” Trump told his supporters. “Where has she been for three and a half years as we took in 20 million people, many of them horrible criminals?”
Harris is not alone in announcing new policy ideas, apparently to appeal to moderate voters. Trump announced at a recent rally that IVF treatments should be free to women, either paid for by insurers or the government.
Back in the days of King Solomon, when two warring women came before him for judgement, both claiming to be the real mother of a baby, he ordered the baby to be cut in half so see which one was the real mother who would back off her claim to save the life of her real baby. These demonic divisive Kamala Democrats would not hesitate to cut our entire country in half, even if it meant the death of an innocent nation, not to mention our innocent babies, rather than see the legitimate fathers and mothers take control over the lives of the very children they, with God’s help, have created. Better a guillotine to separate them from their insane heads than continue to abort our American innocence by the tens of millions. These DINO’s, (Democrats in name only) now would not only divide and kill our infant democracy, but throw out the baby with the bathwater. Kamala is now acting like the insane greedy fake mother asking WE THE VOTERS to play the part of King Solomon to judge the election, claiming credit for all the good works and ideas that Trump in his innocence gave birth to, and would rather see every good workable program killed, than see the legitimate father of a nation get the credit. Shame on this sham of a leader. She outs her true intentions with every lie she opens her pie hole to speak. She frisks then she fracks, but doesn’t know one fricking thing about governing a nation of strong self-governing people.
ANd with most leftist whammen having NO PROBLEM with abortion on demand, i am sure if they got a soloman’s choice’ re a baby given to them, they’d GLEEFULLY WATCH as the baby was cut in half!
”If Kamala Harris can so quickly reject her firm energy positions from the past, there is no telling how quickly she’ll renounce today’s positions in the future,”
Camal a Harris is a Lying Democrat and will say anything to try and get elected.
But look at what she has Not accomplished and the destructive policies that she has supported in the last 4 years.
Then look at what Donald Yrump accomplished and his beneficial policies he supported and the condition of our economy in his 4 years.
““We have laws that have to be followed and enforced that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally,” Harris said.
But she has imported 12 Million Illegal immigrants and have forced the taxpayers to support them.
Harris posted on then-Twitter in 2017 that “an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.”
Only a complete fool with a death wish for our country would vote for this treasonous, lying, con artist Kamala Harris. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Kamala should have read her Mark Twain; ““It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt” ― Mark Twain
I jsut can’t wait for the debate when Trumps throws out the bait and she gets caught with the hook and worm in her mouth again, and removes all doubt she’s a chucklehead.
AND with leftists track history of saying ONE THING, to get your vote, then DOING THE OPPOSITE WHEN THEY get in, WHO in their right mind can believe her now?
“inconsistency”. You have to do something/anything to be consistent or inconsistent. And Camela has done NOTHING. Her changes in policy, philosophy, positions are simply in response to politician opinion. She changes with the wind and as the wind blows (or something blows, not sure what). SHE’S A POLITICAL HACK.
She who does nothing, does nothing wrong, but he who does Kamala gets the disease,,,,,,,TDS of course.,,,,among others.
The changing blown windmills of Kamala’s mind make her as useless as the Dutch boy who put his finger in the leaking Dike instead of one of Tim’s tampons.
My favorite topic switcheroo Harris deploys is the old “We addressed that (unsuccessfully) …There’s still a lot more to do, like: recite Socialist Laundry List.”
