Bernie Sanders On Kamala Flip-Flopping On Major Issues: ‘Goal’ Is To ‘Defeat’ Trump

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) admitted over the weekend that Vice President Kamala Harris is flip flopping on major issues because she is trying to beat former President Donald Trump, not because she believes her new alleged stances.

Sanders made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” while discussing the state of the 2024 presidential election.

“In addition to the Green New Deal and Medicare-for-all single-payer for health care, and ending fracking, in addition to those being positions that you hold, Vice President Harris used to be with you on all three of them and now is against you on all three of them,” Tapper said.

“Is she making a mistake having reversed those positions?” he asked.

Sanders responded: “I think what we’re seeing is a coalition of people, more establishment Democrats and progressive Democrats and progressive independents — I’m the longest serving independent in American history — come together with the goal of defeating a very dangerous candidate. And that is Donald Trump.”

Sanders made the remarks after Tapper played comments that Sanders has made on the campaign trail about what he believes needs to happen policy-wise in the U.S.

“I am proud to announce today that I am an original co- sponsor of the Green New Deal proposal,” Sanders said in the clip. “We need to move to a Medicare-for-all single-payer program. If we are serious about combating climate change, we need to put an end to fracking.”

WATCH:

TAPPER: Kamala supported the Green New Deal, Medicare For All, and a ban on fracking. Is she making a mistake reversing those positions?

BERNIE: She’s trying to beat Donald Trump.
