Fact check: Harris falsely claims Project 2025 blueprint calls for cutting Social Security
CNN ^ | 24 July 24 | Daniel Dale

Posted on 07/24/2024 8:21:31 PM PDT by anthropocene_x

In the first rally of her presidential campaign on Tuesday, Kamala Harris wrongly described parts of the conservative Project 2025 blueprint for a potential second Donald Trump presidency.

At Harris’ Tuesday rally in Wisconsin, she criticized Trump and “his extreme Project 2025 agenda,” then said: “They intend to end the Affordable Care Act. And take us back, then, to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions.”

Facts First: One of Harris’ claims about Project 2025 is false, while another is at least misleading. The Project 2025 document does not show that Trump intends to cut Social Security; the document barely discusses Social Security at all and does not propose cuts to the program. In addition, contrary to Harris’ suggestion, Project 2025 does not call to “end” the Affordable Care Act or eliminate its protections for people with pre-existing conditions. The document does criticize the Affordable Care Act, especially the law’s expansion of Medicaid, but makes clear it is advocating changes to the law rather than terminating the law entirely.

A Harris campaign official said the campaign has “made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump’s policies” as “Project 2025,” since they believe “it has stuck with voters.”

Contrary to Harris’ claim that “when you read” the Project 2025 document “you will see” that Trump intends to cut Social Security, the lengthy document includes no call to cut Social Security. In fact, the document uses the words “Social Security” just 10 times, mostly in passing. Vought said the document calls for “no changes to Social Security.”

The 2025 Project is not Trump’s blueprint anyway.

The lies from these people, especially Harris, are insane. Hoe do we counter such untruths when the media are their lapdogs?

Unwind the lie, unring that bell. You can’t and still have time to tell the truth and carry on with your own campaign. You are stuck in damage control. They know this, they thrive on it, mayhem and evil are their name.

Factcheck or not, this is NOT by President Trump and he has disavowed it.

Agenda 21 is OK, but Project 2025 is a danger to America.

I now have my marching orders.

Thank you Oligarchy!

It’s nonsense anyways. Why don’t they go read some left wing think tank papers and attribute it all to Kackles?

"The 2025 Project is not Trump’s blueprint anyway."

Trump has already said on Twitter: "I have nothing to do with, and know nothing about, Project 25. The fact that I do is merely disinformation put out by the Radical Left Democrat Thugs. Do not believe them! DJT"

In time, you are probably going to lose the social security on account of being $34 trillion in debt.

any time a leftie brings up P2025, bring up the 2021 Working Families Party’s “People’s Charter"

The Charter calls for defunding police and jails, reparations, public ownership and unionization in all corporations, govt siezure of oil companies, minimum wage increases, extended unemployment regardless of immigration status, $1Trillion/year for 10 years for DEI jobs, universal health care and universal child care regardless of immigration status, suspension of rent and debt payments, cancelling student debt, investments in the green agenda.

We have already seen some of the above incorporated into Dem-speak and policy actions. So spare us with hysteria over P2025.

James Wood has coined a new hashtag for a Harris/Buttigegg ticket.

#HarriButt

I love it! It’s a perfect hashtag for two candidates who wouldn’t be taken seriously by an intelligent voting base in a non-corrupt country.

With friends like 2025 you don't need enemies. Maybe a false flag.

President Trump was perfect today. He unloaded on Harris as the marxist that she is. Attack afs are already running. That 2 day dead cat bounce is starting to fade.

Why is CNN reporting that Kamala Harris is lying about Project 2025?

given Trump has put out a statement disavowing it, how come the FakeNewsMSM doesn’t begin any mention of Project 2025 with that disavowal?

or correct anyone who tries to associate him with it?

Kamala isn’t gonna be the nominee.

She’s a placeholder, nothing more.
