This Is The Most Egregious Kamala Flip-Flop Yet

Not too long ago, being labeled a “flip-flopper” was a big deal in presidential politics. Whatever your policy positions might be, the worst possible sin was to be indecisive about them. If you remember what happened to John Kerry back in 2004, you know what I’m talking about. A day before his first debate with George W. Bush, no one was asking John Kerry about his position on the Iraq War, or his views on taxes or anything like that. Instead, Kerry was being asked about his image as a flip-flopper.

And he was forced to admit, in an interview with The New York Times, that it was a major vulnerability. Kerry claimed that his positions had really been consistent, but at the same time he acknowledged that the Bush campaign had succeeded in portraying him as indecisive and untrustworthy. That’s why 60% of voters said Kerry “told people what they wanted to hear rather than what he really believed.” And ultimately, whether you think Kerry’s reputation for flip flopping was deserved or not, it’s a big part of why he lost the election.

Twenty years later, it’s now abundantly clear that the “flip flopper” label doesn’t scare Democrats anymore. And the corporate press isn’t concerned about it, either.

In the span of just a month, Kamala Harris’ team has systematically reversed pretty much every major policy proposal she’s ever supported in her career. These changes are so significant, and so completely unexplained, that they would have immediately destroyed Kamala Harris’ candidacy if she were running 20 years ago. But this country has changed a lot in two decades — or at least the Kamala Harris campaign is betting it’s changed a lot. So, day by day, they’re proceeding to revise her entire platform.

Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you.

For example, Harris’ campaign now claims she no longer wants to ban fracking, even though as recently as 2019, she said she supported a total fracking ban as part of the Green New Deal.

The campaign also says Harris no longer supports an electric vehicle mandate, even though in 2019, Harris co-sponsored the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act. That bill would have required that 100% of new vehicles be “electric or hydrogen powered” by 2040. And if any manufacturer tried to make a gas-powered car after 2040, the EPA could shut them down. According to the text of the bill, “After model year 2040, the [Environmental Protection Agency] Administrator may issue an injunction on the manufacture of any passenger vehicles other than zero emission vehicles by a vehicle manufacturer.”

But yesterday, that all changed. Harris’ “rapid response director” sent out a so-called “fact-check” email that began: “FACT: Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate.” Instead, the email states that Harris supports “ground-breaking subsidies and tax credits for electric vehicles.”

So they’re dressing up a major policy reversal as a “fact-check.” They’re implying that you’re the one who’s mistaken, when really they’re trying to pull a sleight of hand. And there are other reversals too, on everything from abolishing private health insurance to closing immigrant detention centers to defunding the police and so on.

Kamala Harris’ campaign has offered no explanation for these changes. But everyone knows what the explanation is: she wants to win the election, and she understands that California Leftism isn’t popular outside of California. She does not have principles. She only has internal polling — and apparently, it’s not looking good.

To that end, the Kamala Harris campaign has just announced its most dramatic policy reversal yet. Contrary to everything Kamala Harris has said for the past five years, her campaign has just come out in support of Donald Trump’s border wall. Yes, you heard that correctly. The Kamala Harris campaign is making a very direct play for John Kerry’s title as the most flagrant and notorious flip-flopper in the modern history of the Democrat Party. Out of nowhere, our border czar Kamala Harris is now all for “building the wall.”

As Axios reported this week:

Harris flip-flops on building the border wall. … If she’s elected president, Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border — a project she once opposed and called ‘un-American’ during the Trump administration.

Specifically, Harris has announced her support for the recent bipartisan “border security bill,” which requires that hundreds of millions of dollars are spent to continue building the wall on the southern border.

On the Sunday shows the other day, there were a few signs this reversal was coming. At one point, ABC anchor Jon Karl noticed that Kamala Harris’ campaign was running ads that prominently featured Trump’s border wall, as part of an effort to show that Kamala Harris is supposedly tough on illegal immigration (which she previously said she wants to decriminalize). Watch:

At first that looked like some lazy editing mistake. After all, this is the same border wall that Kamala Harris said in 2020 was a, “complete waste of taxpayer money” that “won’t make us any safer.” It’s the same border wall that Kamala Harris said in 2017 was a “stupid use of money” that she would “block any funding for.” It’s the same wall that the Biden administration — with Kamala Harris as VP — sabotaged the minute they took office. They immediately killed all border wall construction. Watch:

So Biden-Harris ran on killing the wall. They got elected and stopped the construction of the wall. And now Kamala Harris wants to get back in and restart construction of the wall.

Already, it’s pretty clear how the corporate press and the Harris campaign plan to spin this. They’re probably going to suggest that taking down the wall was Joe Biden’s call, and Kamala Harris had nothing to do with it. Last night, Politico laid the groundwork for that kind of messaging. They ran this headline: “Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally.” Yes, Vance dared to draw a connection between the president and his vice president. Can you imagine?

One of the many problems with this approach is that Kamala Harris is on tape, again and again, disparaging the border wall as Trump’s “medieval vanity project.” She laughed repeatedly at the idea that a wall could possibly deter illegal aliens from entering the country. Watch:

Kamala Harris on the border wall over the years:

2017: "Asking taxpayers to pay for a border wall is a terrible idea."

2018: "Funding Trump’s unrealistic border wall would be a gross misuse of taxpayer money."

2019: "Trump's border wall is stupid."

2020: "As I said, Trump's… pic.twitter.com/RxWrRZ1MRh

Notice how Kamala Harris tries to sell the bit at the end — about how she was a prosecutor, and she’s an expert in transnational criminal gangs, and how she knows “that wall ain’t gonna stop them.” It’s supposed to come off as a natural, unrehearsed, jovial moment. We’re supposed to believe that Kamala Harris is speaking in a folksy way about her experience as a prosecutor because she’s being genuine and unscripted.

But this wasn’t an unscripted moment. She did the exact same routine several times before, on tape. Here’s one example:

It’s all fake and scripted. Kamala Harris understands only the words she’s rehearsed, and nothing more. If that moderator had asked Kamala Harris how exactly transnational gangs bypass walls, she probably would have no idea what to say. She’d just freeze and stare straight ahead for hours. Without her canned talking points, the Democrats’ presidential nominee is completely unable to articulate a single thought, even one that’s supposedly based on her personal experience.

That’s probably why the Harris campaign has just announced that Kamala Harris is going to have Tim Walz sitting next to her during her first unscripted interview as the Democrats’ presidential nominee. That interview will take place Thursday with a friendly news outlet (CNN) and it’ll be taped, so any particularly embarrassing moments can be edited out of the final broadcast. But apparently, a taped interview with CNN isn’t easy enough for Kamala Harris, so she needs to have Tim Walz by her side throughout the whole thing. After well over a month of preparation, she still can’t do a solo interview.

Neither can Tim Walz, apparently. According to Politico:

One of the issues that Harris world is currently working to address is how to deploy running mate TIM WALZ in the media. The danger in sending him out to do big solo interviews is that he might not have a full command of where Harris is on every issue. As someone pointed out to us last night, Harris talks about the ‘opportunity economy,’ but if Walz were asked to define it, would he know how.

In other words, neither Kamala Harris nor Tim Walz can sit for an interview alone, without any assistance. Kamala Harris’ problem is that she can’t articulate a coherent thought. Meanwhile, Tim Walz has no idea what Kamala Harris’ policies are. So the solution they’ve landed on is to send them both out at once, to a friendly media outlet that hopefully won’t ask about the whole border wall flip-flop. Because if CNN does ask about that, there’s also plenty of tape of Tim Walz mocking the idea of a border wall. Watch:

If they want to conduct anything approaching an impartial interview on Thursday, CNN has an obligation to play all of this tape. Then they have an obligation to ask Kamala Harris and Tim Walz what changed. Why exactly do they now support spending tens of millions of dollars on a wall that they once called a useless vanity project? It would be interesting to hear Kamala Harris explain that in her own words.

But of course, that won’t happen.

The most we’ll get is another canned, scripted soundbite from Kamala Harris that totally contradicts her old canned, scripted soundbite about the wall. She might tell us all about how, as a prosecutor, she learned that walls do indeed work. They stop transnational criminal gangs all the time! That’s why they set up walls at the DNC. It’s why they set up walls around the Capitol for Joe Biden’s inauguration. It’s why there are walls around Joe Biden’s many homes.

Whatever soundbite they’ll come up with, Kamala Harris will deliver it with a laugh and some faux sincerity. And in all likelihood, the CNN anchor will nod along and pretend to be convinced.

But everyone watching at home — the ones who are open-minded and honest — will realize that Kamala Harris isn’t really speaking to them. Her handlers are. And as Kamala’s handlers adopt Donald Trump’s platform, piece by piece, while rejecting everything Kamala Harris herself once claimed to believe, their candidate is starting to look about as trustworthy as John Kerry. With just over two months to go until the election, more than any poll or focus group, that’s about as bullish a sign as the Trump campaign can possibly hope for.
