Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went on "Meet the Press" to defend Vice-President Kamala Harris' numerous deviations from her previously professed political views.
Host Kristen Welker pointed out that "Vice President Harris has shifted her position on several policy issues from when she first ran for president in 2019. She initially wanted to ban fracking, now she says she doesn't. She supported Medicare for all and now she says she doesn't. To the voters who have concerns about this, if she's elected, why won't she change her mind again?"
In response, Buttigieg replied "politics is the art of the possible. As Sen. Bernie Sanders pointed out at the Convention, you can't accomplish anything if you don't win the election. Right now, her older policy ideas aren't popular. Banning fracking, open borders, higher taxes, and more regulations are unpopular. We can be confident that her values haven't changed, but it would be better for her to mute them until after the election. As president she will have full command of the most powerful country in the world. All that is required is about four months of patience before the progressive transformation of America can rev up again just like it did when Joe Biden started signing his executive orders on January 20, 2021."

Seems to me that neither Harris or Buttigieg should have any future in politics.
Well done as always...
Harris is always blowing out her flip-flops.
