Harris explains in exclusive CNN interview why she’s shifted her position on key issues since her first run for president
CNN ^ | Aug 29, 2024 | Kevin Liptak

Posted on 08/29/2024 1:27:38 PM PDT by McGruff

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday offered her most expansive explanation to date on why she’s changed some of her positions on fracking and immigration, telling CNN’s Dana Bash her values haven’t shifted but that her time as vice president provided new perspective on some of the country’s most pressing issues.

...

Pressed by Bash on her reversals on fracking and decriminalizing illegal border crossings, Harris sought to explain why her positions had changed.

...

“How should voters look at some of the changes that you’ve made?” Bash asked Harris. “Is it because you have more experience now and you’ve learned more about the information? Is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you’re saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?”

Harris said despite the shifts in position, her values had not changed.

Yeah that’s how I read it. She gave her multiple choice answers to keep Harris from running off the rails. Contrast that with the ‘gotcha’ questions they ask your typical conservative. Harris really SHOULD have to declare this ‘interview’ as a campaign contribution.

The people this interview is aimed at just want to feel that “she cares about people like me” - not to learn anything about policy positions that they don’t really want to take the time to understand, anyway.

Objection, your Honor.
Leading question.

Run to the middle so she can govern to the left. [Extreme left, for her.]

Typical of too many politicians.

The ole hoodwinking.

“How should voters look at some of the changes that you’ve made?” Bash asked Harris

An honest reply: "I'll change any and all positions to be elected and pretend to be a moderate, and then I'll do whatever the New York Times orders me to do, the same as when they ordered me to get rid of Joe Biden."

It’s been her skillful ability to change positions that’s gotten her to where she is today. Just ask the brown man.

It was really nice of the press bimbo to offer plausible excuses... I'm sure she would have done the same for President Trump if he had switched all his positions to ones that were more popular with voters... /s

...could not agree with you more...was it the late, great Rush Limbaugh who noted the mass of low information voters...I am not a pessimist by any means, but the more I see of this campaign, and the back-and-forth of who is leading whom in the nation polls, I cringe to think of ever hearing “Madam President” in January of next year...

Even if someone were stupid enough to believe her on these
matters, they’d have to be even more stupid to think she
could actually pull it off in the proper manner.

She is nothing more than a coffee clutch low life.

Obama has another one all lined up.

Which shifts in your position did Willie Brown like most?

Somebody needs to tell the Karen that Obama and Kenyan Mafia have a plan for her. She’ll be nothing but a dumbass figurehead following Tater Swuft and doing a side show of Americas first Jamaican Refugee president. Obammie will be shoving words down her throat and telling her every word to say. That’s what the Black Mafia really thinks of her.
