FOX News anchor Chris Wallace claimed Wednesday that Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris was “not far to the left.” GovTrack rated her the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate.
The “Fox News Sunday” anchor joined “America’s Newsroom” to discuss former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s presumptive 2020 nominee and his decision to add Harris to his ticket in November.
Anchor Sandra Smith put the question to Wallace, noting that fellow Fox News anchor Bret Baier was of the opinion that the “diehard Democrats” would be happy with Biden’s selection.
“This will put them at ease, this choice. Do you see it that way?” Smith asked.
“Yeah, I think so,” Wallace replied, suggesting that Harris’ poor performance in the Democratic primary might not hurt a ticket with her on it.
“She did not do very well in the Democratic primaries for a variety of reasons. She didn’t run a great campaign,” Wallace explained. “But, you know, she is not far to the left despite what Republicans are going to try to say.”
Wallace went on to argue that Harris would “energize” certain groups, such as women and African Americans, when it came to getting out the vote.
However, a 2019 rating from GovTrack ranked Harris, based on her voting record in the Senate, the body’s most liberal member. According to that ranking, she was left of Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Wallace is not the only one suggesting that Harris is not a hard left liberal — the New York Times called her a “pragmatic moderate” in a story published just after she was announced as Biden’s running mate.
It should be noted that GovTrack based its ranking only on Harris’ Senate career while Wallace and others are including her history as a prosecutor and Attorney General of California. Her work as a prosecutor, however, could prove to be a liability as more and more cities work to “defund police” and “reimagine” public safety in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
FOADCW
And a Commie.
well to the Marxists in the media she isn’t.
Yeah, all her Kavanaugh chattering was because she’s a centrist.
/s
Which shows how far to the Left Chris is.
Heh, I’ve talked to many ‘centrists’ then had them take the political test at: https://www.politicalcompass.org/test
I’m a 54 or so to the right, most I challenge are under 20.
Chris needs to read the internets once in awhile. What a dumbass.
Is Kamala aware of “The Perception” that she is a Communist bi-atch?
Yep
Democrats are such shameless liars.
And they clearly have no conscience otherwise they wouldn’t be.
Jeez, Chris. She is a uslurper.
Wallace is a minion of the Ministry of Propaganda.
He says what they tell him to say.
When you see day by day, the things the left supports in all seriousness, it’s truly terrifying to think of how deceived they are that they really seem to believe what they say.
“FOX News anchor Chris Wallace claimed Wednesday that Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris was “not far to the left.””
If she doesn’t look far left from where you’re standing, Wallace, then you must be in Venezuela.
“Which shows how far to the Left Chris is.”
Kamala.......................Chris...........Left.................................Middle...
She is crazy left and said they were going to hunt down Trump supporters and get revenge.
She is evil.
So, is a centrist just to the right of Pol Pot and Kim Il Sung? Answer the question, Chris.
“On Tuesday, CNN editor-at-large Chris Cillizza implied that Joe Biden would “step aside” for his vice presidential pick, Sen. Kamala Harris, hinting that Biden will not finish his presidential term if he wins in November.
Cillizza opined that Biden’s pick showed that the former vice president would win the presidential election, but also that he might not be able to actually do the job. CNN’s Twitter account highlighted the ominous claim.”
