Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris once championed aggressive leftist policies. She supported the Green New Deal while senator and has called for the prosecution of fossil fuel companies.
The pièce de résistance, however, was when she unequivocally threw her support behind a ban on fracking in 2019. But now that her radical climate agenda isn’t politically convenient, Harris invented a 2020 position on fracking to try and cover up her actual views.
During the 2019 Democrat primary, Harris was asked whether she would commit to a federal ban on fracking.
“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” Harris said. “So yes.”
The then-senator even highlighted her long-standing “history” of attacking fracking.
But in recent weeks anonymous campaign staffers have leaked claims to the media that Harris has developed a newfound respect for the fracking industry — an obvious attempt to salvage her credibility after her radical anti-fracking stance was highlighted.
“No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020, that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking,” Harris told Bash when asked if she’d ban fracking during CNN’s pre-recorded softball interview on Thursday night.
Dana Bash asked whether Harris’ stance “changed.”
“In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word,” Harris said. “My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.”
But Harris was unable to explain why her policy position shifted when asked by Bash.
“Well, let’s be clear. My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far,” Harris said.
Maybe it’s because her views really haven’t changed.
Despite her insistence, Harris never committed herself to preserving fracking during the 2020 general election. She did, however, have to run defense for her running mate Joe Biden, who previously vowed to “abolish fossil fuels” and end “fracking as soon as we possibly can.”

“Joe Biden will not end fracking. He has been very clear about that,” Harris said. “I will repeat and the American people know that Joe Biden will not ban fracking. That is a fact. That is a fact.”
While serving as California attorney general, Kamala Harris investigated Exxon Mobil for allegedly misleading the public about the risks of climate change. So who will prosecute Harris for misleading the public about her stance on fracking?
Harris is a mess and a disaster for the US
The Jihad Junta will ban natural gas, thus banning fracking.
Because she never went through the primary process, she never was able to slowly moderate her views.
“”I kept my word, and I will keep my word,” Harris said. “My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.”””
If she wasn’t such a kook, I would feel sorry for her but~~~~!! She doesn’t even speak our language.. Most people would say, “I GAVE MY WORD and I will keep my word” but hopefully, she’s only one of a kind - I don’t believe she’s ever had any children of her own so there’s no chance she’s passed her genes on - I say HOPEFULLY. I will say her stepdaughter is enough for the civilized world.
“We can do what we have accomplished thus far”?????????
Just no more words to describe her......
I have Eric Erickson on the radio and I guess the “second chair” did have words to say in the interview but no more coherent than the other weirdo.....
The laying skank couldn’t tell the truth if her life depended on it that is how the Marxist oath works.
Anyone think she was provided the questions?
Anyone care to ask here these direct energy questions other than fracking?
What’s your position on the following Biden Executive orders on fossil fuel bands?............
Halting new oil and gas leasing on federal onshore lands and offshore waters.
Halted implementation of a leasing program in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Withdrew the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.
Eliminating fossil fuel subsidies by fiscal year 2022.
Lyin’ Hoo Doo biatch.
“we can do what we have accomplished thus far.”
Doesn’t that mean you already did it ???
It’s easy to change your position when you don’t intend to be bound by anything you say. If she’s called out on it, she will just spin another absurd justification to explain it away. Her supporters won’t care and the media will pretend it all makes perfect sense.
TV ads for Trump should highlight the old and new Kamala stances and end with “How can you trust the latest position is the one she will have after election day?”
Stupid Pennsylvania voters who would trust her to allow fracking would be greeted with “I changed my mind. We have to fight climate change and defeat fossil fuel companies.”
These are questions that a prosecutor would ask. Since CNN and all the other propaganda media acts as a defense attorney for Democrats, they will never ask these questions.
Since they act as a prosecutor for Republicans, they would not only ask all these questions they would ask attack follow-ups over and over again.
Only the sane the others are still looking for the rainbow.
Harris like Biden is a pathological liar so no surprise here
