Still Unclear About Kamala Harris?
Millions of voters remain on the fence about Donald J. Trump v. Kamala Harris. Everybody knows President Trump. Frankly, many dislike his personality, particularly his frequent name calling. But most honest people also acknowledge that they were better off during Trump’s presidency.
Harris argued, “It is status quo thinking to believe that putting more police on the streets creates more safety. That’s wrong.
Conversely, many of these conflicted Americans know little about Vice President Harris or her policies. Harris’ historical statements shed light on both:
- In 2019, GovTrack, a non-partisan organization that rates congressional votes, ranked California Democrat Kamala Harris as the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. On a scale of 0.00 (most liberal) to 1.00 (most conservative) Harris scored a perfect 0.00. This placed Harris even further Left than Socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont (0.02) and Democrat Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts (0.26).
- While serving as San Francisco District Attorney, Kamala Harris cavalierly dismissed gun owners’ Second and Fourth Amendment rights. In 2007, she declared: “Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs.”
- In April 2017, Senator Harris rejected Trump’s border wall as “just a stupid use of money. I will block any funding for it.” She also dismissed it as a “vanity project.”
- While running for President in 2019, Harris displayed contempt for the First Amendment, vowing to “double the Civil Rights Division [of the DOJ] and direct law enforcement to counter [free speech] extremism. We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy. And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don’t police your platforms we are going to hold you accountable as a community.” What could possibly go wrong if we allow government to define “misinformation”?
- In response to Jake Tapper’s 2019 question on CNN about whether Harris wished to eliminate private health insurance while creating a “Medicare for All” system, Harris responded: “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”
- While running for president in 2020, Harris announced: “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
- Days after the death of George Floyd and the ensuing riots in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and other major U.S. cities, Harris promoted defunding the police: “I applaud [Los Angeles] Mayor Garcetti for doing what he’s done,” namely cutting the Los Angeles Police Department’s 2020-2021 fiscal budget by $150 million. Harris argued, “It is status quo thinking to believe that putting more police on the streets creates more safety. That’s wrong. It’s just wrong.”
- Harris raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund to post bail for the rioters who destroyed downtown Minneapolis during the Floyd riots. Several of those whom the MFF bailed out went on to beat and even murder people.
- In September 2019, Kamala Harris declared: “I do believe that we need to do [mandatory gun] buybacks.”
- Asked in 2018 by an MSNBC reporter whether ICE should be abolished, Kamala Harris opined: “We need to probably think about starting from scratch.”
- The Biden/Harris DOJ just released alleged golf-course shooter Ryan Routh’s manifesto promising to pay a $150,000 bounty to anyone who assassinates Trump, incentivizing yet another attempt on the president’s life.
Kamala Harris and Her Party
Kamala Harris is also a proud member of a political party whose leaders do not hesitate to violate the U.S. Constitution:
- For the past eight years, Democrats successfully have coerced social media platforms to censor politically conservative speech, including deplatforming President Trump.
- The 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign spied on the Trump campaign and fabricated a three-year-long Russia-collusion hoax.
- In August 2022, President Biden’s DOJ raided his political opponent’s Mar-a-Lago home in search of classified records that the former president is permitted to possess.
- Biden’s DOJ has colluded with various Manhattan and Georgia prosecutors and private parties to pursue criminal charges and litigate civil claims against President Trump.
- Democrat secretaries of state across the country tried to pry President Trump from the 2024 primary ballot.
- Harris’ running-mate, Governor Tim Walz (D – Minnesota), revealed his disdain for the First Amendment in August: “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.”
- Hillary Clinton believes that Americans who post “propaganda” as she defines it, should be punished: “I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence.”
Finally, immediately after the second assassination attempt against Trump on September 15, Rasmussen polled 1,000 registered voters and asked them if “America would have been better off if former President Trump had been killed last weekend?” Shockingly, a majority of Democrats wish that President Trump had been murdered (28 percent) or do not know how they feel about it (25 percent).
If unlimited government, dwindling constitutional rights, and deadly political violence are your cup of tea, then please vote for Kamala Harris. Otherwise, the alternative could not be clearer.
