The Harris Campaign Strategy Was Simple

Who is Kamala Harris? America wants to know! Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign strategy was simple: Run Out the Clock. Market her as a warm empathetic, moderate candidate. Hide her radicalism. Keep her out of meaningful press conferences and avoid answering probing questions, such as her past radicalism. The campaign is an update of keeping Joe Biden in his basement during the 2020 election. It hasn’t been working. She had the most liberal record in the Senate during her 4 years in the Senate. Senator Kamala was to the left of Senator Bernie Sanders. Ignore the fact that she is a radical San Francisco Democrat. She promises a new path forward, but when asked by 60 Minutes if she would have done anything different than President Biden, she responded: “I can’t think of anything.” Here’s what she wanted to ban: Assault Weapons Fossil Fuel leasing on federal lands and offshore Fracking ICE Internal combustion motor vehicles Offshore Drilling Plastic Straws She wanted to end the filibuster. She opposed President Trump’s border wall, but supports Open Borders. Indeed, the illegal immigrants would be on the path citizenship. She repeatedly donated to an anti-police, pro-sanctuary group in D.C. Does she still support forcing medical providers and religious hospitals to perform abortions over their religious beliefs? Does she still support athletes kneeing during the National Anthem? Does she still support taxpayer funding for trans surgery for prisoners and illegal immigrants? Does she still support changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day? Does she still support gun control and a mandatory buyback of assault weapons? Does she still support sanctuary cities? Does she still support 6 months family and medical leave? She wrote as Attorney General of California the “legal description” for Prop 47, the one that sparked the property crime wave in California. California voters are poised to overturn Prop 47 with Prop 35 in November. She supports Israel’s right to defend itself, but wants Israel to back off in Gaza. She runs ads in Dearborn, Michigan supporting the Palestinians and refused to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he addressed Congress. She refused to make the presidential candidate traditional presence at New York City’s Al Smith Dinner, which raises funds for Catholic Charities, also snubbing Cardinal Dolan. She did not formally support Defund the Police, but supported Los Angeles cutting the police budget by $150,000,000. She compared ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to the KKK. She wanted to cut the ICE and close immigration detention centers. She wants to stack the Supreme Court. The self-describer tough on crime prosecutor opposes the death penalty. She contributed to, and raised funds, to provide bail bonds for the BLM rioters in Minneapolis after the George Floyd killing, the Minnesota Bail Fund. She wants zero cash bonds. She wants universal medical coverage from the government through Medicare. She says nothing about her words at a 2018 parade in Los Angeles: “up, up with education, down with deportation. She doesn’t comment on her earlier support for athletes who kneeled during the National Anthem. She wants to tax “unrealized capital gains” on net worth over $100 million. She has steadfastly supported abortion tights – no equivocation on pro-choice. She wants government to lower, i.e. set, drug prices. Kamala Harris is a radical San Francisco politician, straight out of the San Francisco milieu of Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, and Barbara Boxer. Her father is a Marxist economist. Her two most important statements: I am a radical. I haven’t changed my values. Senator Bernie Sanders said it best: Harris is making a pragmatic approach on her policy positions “in order to win the election.” Vice President Kamala Harris has not changed her values. She just doesn’t talk about them.
