Former Vice President Kamala Harris changed her course on a significant issue that she touted in 2019.
On Friday, Harris said that she no longer supports a ban on fracking—a stark difference from her stance in 2019, when she told CNN, “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
“And starting with what we can do on Day One around public lands, right?” Harris said. “And then there has to be legislation, but, yes, and this is something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue and to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities.”
However, she changed her view on the matter after joining the Biden Administration, which supported a ban on fracking.
Fracking has been a significant issue for presidential candidates, especially in Pennsylvania— a critical swing state and a major gas producer.
Former President Donald Trump criticized Harris, declaring her to be the “ultra-liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe.”
“She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country if she ever gets the chance to get into office,” Trump said. “She wants no fracking. You’re going to be paying a lot of money. You’re going to be paying so much. You’re going to say, ‘Bring back Trump.’”
Pushing back on Trump’s comments, the vice president’s campaign claimed that the “Biden-Harris Administration passed the largest ever climate change legislation and under their leadership, America now has the highest ever domestic energy production.”
However, then-Senator Harris endorsed the Green New Deal, including a fracking ban.
“Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class," the Harris campaign said, adding that Trump’s “Administration created 300,000 energy jobs, while Trump lost nearly a million.”
Well, Pennsylvania, are you going to fall for this schtick?
Let me guess..she is also against defunding the police, having open borders, calling ICE agents the KKK, getting rid of private health insurance, the list goes on and on and on
Gosh. I sure hope she doesn’t change her mind again later.
Lying.
Well, someone on PDJT’s team needS to do a bunch of “then vs now” ads and get them out there. STAT!
It’s on tape and it’s already on ads
Yeah, right.
“What can be, unburdened by what has been.”
She is a queen of the politically expedient.
If the world changed overnight to a conservative bent she would be a RINO wearing a MAGA hat and chanting USA.
Of course she against all those unpopular stands, but see comment by ClearCase_Guy below (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4254718/posts?page=4#4).
I’m waiting for the main stream media to call Harris a flip-flopper.
RE: Gosh. I sure hope she doesn’t change her mind again later.
Barack Obama was against Gay Marriage during his campaign. After he got elected, he said his views have “evolved” and he was now in favor of it. Do you believe Kamala, once elected, will not similarly “evolve”?
Maybe she should ask Mitt to become her VP?!
I’m already getting sick of the 1 add every 5 on YouTube with her face schilling for bucks. I assume a full court press by the owners backing her up.
Molded and fashioned for the 2024 race. What she said before she is unburdened by.
She will need clumsy powder at the rate she’s gonna slide to the middle
When she hears ‘fracking’, just what does she think it means?
“At the moment”
That’s what LIBERAL POLITICIANS do; LIE, A LOT!
The Southern Tier of NY sits on the thickest and potentially the most productive part of the Marcellus shale vein. But Prince Andrew decided for himself to screw over the people of the Southern Tier and inexpensive and plentiful energy that would have been a game changer. Now with the revealation that copious amounts of lithium can be inexpensively extracted from fracking water, that makes this IDIOTIC decision, carried on by Princess Kathy and the local Demoncrat politicians even more STUPID.
