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

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.

i saw one question just now about her changing policies. Dana Bash, in her so called question actually gives her an “option” in the question, basically trying to nudge her to the right answer, and the dumb ass still gave a word salad answer.

Like most hookers, she has flipped the “I’ll be whoever you want me to be” switch.

Not to worry...
It’s only a matter of time before before she speaks live and removes all doubt...

We all know why: because she has to lie to get votes.

My guess is they cut out "The Internationale" that opened the interview.

Checkout the bags under her eyes already.

At this rate she's not going to make it to November.

So she’s saying Trump was right, I was wrong.

So therefor vote for Trump who was right in the first place.

This response ignores she’s lying.

“And she brushed off her rival’s questioning of her racial identity, dismissing Donald Trump’s suggestion she “happened to turn Black” as the “same old, tired playbook.””

So did Dana Bash actually bring that up again as a question? That’s like asking her “did that mean racist Donald Trump hurt your feelings?”.

““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 Ms. Harris in case you didn’t notice, I just suggested several possible answers to this question and you can choose any one of them.”
“Ms. Harris, did you change your position because you have become infinitely more intelligent and talented and competent and want to show the nation how stunning and impressive you can be??”

The wind has changed direction, Watson.
Quickly now. We must track her down and ask her again.

If they are undocumented, they broke the law to enter our Country. A criminal is someone who breaks the law.



If they are not criminals, then why did Kamala just say that she prosecuted them?

"As an example, that value has not changed. My value around what we need to do to secure our border. That value has not changed. I spent two terms as the Attorney General of California prosecuting transnational criminal organization, violations of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage, of guns, drugs and human beings across our border, my values have not changed," she said.
