Kamala Harris Alters Liberal Positions on Key Policy Issues Amid Republican Attack Ads

[Social Media]

 

Kamala Harris, has shifted her stance on several key policy issues, including fracking, border control, healthcare, and policing. This move comes after she faced criticisms from former President Donald Trump, who attacked her previous liberal views during the 2020 presidential primary race.

 

Harris, who previously positioned herself to the left of the Democratic Party, has now softened her opposition to fracking and private healthcare. She also emphasized her tough record on crime and illegal immigration at the southern U.S. border. This strategic repositioning is in response to a barrage of Republican attack ads, with the Trump campaign launching its first advertisement against her on Tuesday. The ad described her as “failed,” “weak,” and “dangerously liberal,” targeting voters in six battleground states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

 

The Trump campaign has particularly criticized Harris for her role in border control under Joe Biden’s administration, highlighting the surge in illegal crossings from Mexico. Trump has labeled her as Biden’s “border czar,” a title never officially bestowed upon her but used by the media since 2021. The ad revisited a 2021 interview where Harris responded to questions about her absence at the border by saying, “I haven’t been to Europe. I mean, I don’t understand the point you’re making.”

 

Since taking over as the presumptive Democratic nominee on July 21, Harris has distanced herself from some of her earlier liberal positions as a California senator. In 2017, she co-sponsored Bernie Sanders’s “Medicare-for-all” bill, advocating for a national healthcare system similar to the NHS. However, she has since moderated her views, suggesting that private medical debt should not affect credit scores.

 

During the 2020 campaign, Harris unequivocally supported a ban on fracking, which is crucial for U.S. natural gas and oil production. Her campaign clarified on Friday that she would not ban fracking if elected. She has also portrayed herself as a tough prosecutor, highlighting her role as California’s district attorney and moving away from her 2020 call to “redirect resources” from policing following George Floyd’s murder.

 

In her 2024 campaign, Harris has emphasized her achievements as a prosecutor, stating, “I took on perpetrators of all kinds” and listing her efforts against predators, fraudsters, and cheaters. The Trump campaign’s attack ad drew attention to Harris’s previous statements on the U.S. migration crisis, where she called for a more humanitarian approach. However, her campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, reaffirmed on Saturday that Biden’s tough border policies would continue under Harris.

 

Some Democrats are concerned about the border issue, particularly in Arizona, a key battleground state with significant concerns about illegal migration. Responding to Trump’s border attack ads, a spokesperson for Harris’s campaign accused Trump of spreading “his trademark lies” about her policy positions. The spokesperson highlighted Harris’s career as a district attorney, attorney general, and Vice-President, underscoring her commitment to prosecuting violent criminals and ensuring community safety.

 

Harris’s strategic shift in policy positions aims to counter Republican criticisms and appeal to a broader electorate as she campaigns for the presidency.

She is just copying Trump's policies in an attempt to get elected.

 

If she gets elected her extreme leftist views will return.

[Tug]

Always thought she supports the bipartisan border bill and law and order that hasn’t changed.

[Cryingdick]

Would love for her to explain in detail why she now is an adamant proponent of fracking next trip to PA.

Thankfully for the MAGA morons Trump never changes his position on anything.

Damn Tug - There was no bipartisan border bill.  Biden lied as usual saying he wanted 1500 border agents.  These would NOT be agents but paper pushers to process the 15 to 20 million people he let into the country.  He over turned 92 Immigration laws Trump put into place.  ALL he had to do was rescind the 92 Trump actions he destroyed.  I know this is too deep for you and the other Leftist here but try to understand.  Just once.  Prove me wrong - you can't.

Kamala Harris Mocked After She Suddenly Acquires a New Accent During Atlanta Rally: 'Transparently Fake'

 

A Democrat is a Democrat no matter how you dress them up.  Thank God I am not one.  Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and now Kamala Harris.  All phonies, all Liberals, all hate America, all are liars, all support and are supported by our enemies, all are Marxist and Communist in their thinking.  This is why Bernie Sanders loves them.  Trump is the real deal.  This is why he connects with real people.  He doesn't need useful idiots.

The Democratic Party’s most fervent supporters have already proven that they care nothing about opportunism or dishonesty. Feed them platitudes about identity, and they will vote blue no matter who.  With the thinking portion of the electorate, however, Republicans have a real opportunity. In fact, as of Wednesday, they have exactly 97 days to showcase Vice President Kamala Harris as often as possible.  Happily, a pair of videos that showed Harris speaking in a “transparently fake” accent at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday has gone viral on the social media platform X.  Greg Price of the State Freedom Caucus Network posted the videos side-by-side. As of Wednesday morning, the post had more than 2.7 million views.  In the first video, recorded one week ago, Harris sat on the set of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Looking into the camera, the vice president enunciated her words and used a measured tone, as if speaking to children.

“We are all in this together, and your vote is your power,” Harris said, nodding her head for emphasis — all with no trace of an accent.  At the Atlanta rally, however, the vice president suddenly morphed into legendary actress Hattie McDaniel’s “Mammy” character from “Gone with the Wind.”  “You all helped us win in 2020. And we gonna do it again in 2024,” Harris said in a forced southern accent. Each “20” in the year “2020” came with an unmistakable drawl. And the “4” in “2024” sounded much closer to “fo” than “four.”

“Here is Kamala Harris, who was born in California to Jamaican and Indian college professors, talking to drag queens in Los Angeles a week ago vs. black people in Atlanta tonight. Fakest human being that has ever lived,” Price posted.

Clay Travis

Kamala Harris went to speak in Atlanta and now has a Southern accent. LSU coach Brian Kelly is jealous. But in all seriousness, why do people do this? It’s just so transparently fake.

 

On one hand, former President Donald Trump has remained consistent. Everywhere he has appeared in public for the last nine years, he has sounded like a New York City real estate developer who loves America and wants to restore its former greatness, only this time with peace and prosperity for all Americans. He has railed against open borders, idiotic trade deals, endless wars and a corrupt establishment. He has never changed.

I hope this is untrue. The more left-wing she is, the more I like her. I'll vote for her anyway since she is running against Trump.

You'll note it omits anything about abortion, no "ban" constantly lied about on the left. SCOTUS settled that matter. And it specifically supports Social Security and Medicare, refuting leftist nonsense about "throwing grandma over a cliff."

Harris 2024 is running screaming from Harris 2020. It is quite funny to see.   The problem is that there is a long and storied line of proof that she was perhaps the most left-leaning of all Senators (sorry Bernie and Liz).  Now suddenly she is 'moderating' her positions? Complete craven political asshattery.

 

Oh, and it wasn't Trump who labelled her "border czar". That was the entirety of the MSM when she was appointed by Biden to "speak with his voice" on the issue. And note that nobody corrected the media for 3 years when they used the term. But now, it is politically embarrassing, so suddenly it is a taboo term.  Again, how shallow. 

[BigStar]

The funny thing is that Harris hasn't given any press conference where she MIGHT be confronted on all her backpedaling and lying. Her campaign is putting out all her supposed new positions. Hee.

 

But eventually she's going to have to answer for herself.

One of the groups of the EPA is ,Climate Justice Alliance!

What else does Climate Justice Alliance do? Last November it helped to coordinate a “March on Washington,” where protesters waved the banner “Free Palestine Is a Climate Justice Issue.” Other slogans included “Our Government Funds Palestinian Genocide” and “Only Socialist Revolution Can Stop World War III.”

You are confusing wish list and policies. For example, how does Trump exactly intends to fight inflation (while at the same time giving tax cuts and imposing more tariffs)?

 

Plus, plenty of those wishes are based on B.S. conspiracy claims, such as end the weaponisation blah blah...

Thanks for this list.
The only ones I support 100% are 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, and 20—although we would probably not agree on the means of achieving them.
The other one I also support with some rewording is 10, by removing the words "migrant" and "foreign."
I consider the rest of them just more right-wing, nationalistic, neo-fascist, anti-democratic bull<deleted>.

This will be an interesting election.

I believe the more attack ads, the less likelihood of success because few people like rudeness. Talk about the policies will get more votes.

No, you're confusing policies with the implementation of the policies, as leftists tend to do. Helping leftists confuse voters with lies about implementations, and start busily attacking them, won't help the election effort.

No one cares whether you agree or not. But I wouldn't worry too much. Trump may be too busy, again, to do much of anything but fight with the Deep State, propaganda media, political lawfare, impeachment trials, and a deluge of lies from the left. 

 

However, doing nothing would preferable to Kamala's doing something.

Number 6 just says, "Large tax cuts for workers, and no tax on tips!" I support that. It doesn't say anything about increased taxes on the rich. But, yes, I definitely support significant tax increases on the rich.

I like to post my thoughts on some of the comments. That's what these forums are for. I do care somewhat about what others think, not about what I post but about what they post. Some people, like you, who believe in the "Deep State" and are Trump supporters, are very, very scary.

Soon, Trump won't be busy at all. He'll be locked up in a cell somewhere - I hope! That would be the second-best thing that could happen to him.
