Kamala Harris Clarifies Position On Eliminating Private Health Insurance: "That's Not What I Meant!"
RCP Video ^ | 5-12-2019 | Tim Hains

Posted on 05/12/2019 10:57:02 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris joined CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday for a wide-ranging interview about trade, impeachment, the Mueller report, gun control, health care, immigration, and more.

Tapper asked about her support for Medicare For All and her call in a January town hall on CNN that she supports "eliminating" the private health insurance industry.

"That's not what I meant!" Harris said.

"I support Medicare for all but I really do need to clear up what happened on that stage," she said. "It was in the context of saying let’s get rid of all the bureaucracy."

TAPPER: I want to ask you about something you said that night.

You said on stage with me in January that, when it comes to private insurance -- quote -- "Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on."

HARRIS: Yes.

TAPPER: Now, you later said we don't need to get rid of all private insurance.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.

It does not mean “born a citizen”, that was specifically rejected as insufficient by the founders.
They chose natural born citizen as the strictest possible status diminishing the possibility of the admission of foreign influence on the President.
One can only NATURALLY be a citizen when one CANNOT be anything else.
Anyone born with multiple nationalities is NOT NATURALLY American.

Jussie, I need support for my anti-lynching legislation.

Could you stage a racist beat down.

Why?

We have to protect Barack and Hillary and the rest of us from swinging in the courtyard for treason.

And that is EXACTLY why Jussie refused to turn over his cell phone, the text messages between him and Democrat politicians would have ruined them

Idiot! and AOC doesn’t know what a garbage disposal is.

Plus someone asked Bernie if he is going to pay 70% tax on the money he has collected for his campaign. He just stood there like a deer in the headlights!

They are LYING CROOKS and IDIOTS!

Then say what you mean and mean what you say; don’t go all weepy because what you said you meant and upset some folks.

“It’s not what I meant - (although when we own the presidency and senate, I’ll take that back too).

Because if we Democrats didn’t have double standards, we’d have no standards at all.

Better....add telling the truth. But then if she did that, her campaign is basically over.

Truth is dims want the following:

Government run medical care.

Confiscation of all firearms...except for themselves

Higher taxes....except on their wealth.

These idiots don't know what they mean. Folks are being chosen to run for the House and US Senate mostly because they're easily manipulated. Occasionally, a good one sneaks by for a House nomination to run.

I'm confident that these fools don't even know what "Medicaid for all" is.

"That's not what I meant!" Harris said."

------------------

Ol' Heels Up Harris seems to be perpetually backtracking on whatever she said a day or two before. Her thoughts and words are honestly not well planned.

Creepy Joe of the Left Coast with callouses on her knees?

And that’s the biggest part of the campaign problem for these jackasses. It doesn’t get stale repeating that if they told the truth about what they wanted to do they would never get elected.
