Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy schooled a CNN host during an interview on Wednesday about the true extent of Vice President Kamala Harris’ radicalism.
While the mainstream media continues to try to portray Harris as a moderate Democrat presidential nominee, the facts about her record disprove those claims. Ramaswamy explained this to CNN anchor Kate Bolduan on Wednesday — pointing to many of her far-left positions and noting that Harris is so radical that she even sued the Obama administration to stop fracking.
Despite Harris’ efforts to simultaneously claim that her views have not changed and that she supports fracking, Ramaswamy pointed to Harris’ time as California Attorney General to refute her talking points.
Ramaswamy began: “If we’re able to use Kamala Harris’s own words against her, as I believe we should, she ran for president favoring a tax on unrealized capital gains, favoring an abolition, her words, to abolish private health insurance, a ban on fracking, bans on offshore drilling. These are the kinds of policies that absolutely are not mainstream for most Americans.”
“She said she didn’t favor a ban fracking now,” he continued. “The reality is, she was one of the strongest proponents of that ban, so much so that when she was in California, she sued the Obama administration over granting fracking permits.”
“She didn’t just favor the abolition of private health insurance,” Ramaswamy added. “She was a co-sponsor of the bill with Bernie Sanders as a U.S. Senator for Medicare for All for Americans. The reality is, when you think about the Green New Deal, she was the chief proponent, not just as a co-sponsor of the legislation, but going further and saying she would end the filibuster in the Senate to ram that through.”
He went on to note that people’s political beliefs are “allowed to evolve,” but that they need to explain to the American people what exactly caused that shift.
“So the reality is she can say what she wants to say now, those are actions she has taken,” Ramaswamy said. “Is someone allowed to evolve? Of course, they are, but she deserves to explain exactly why she’s changed those positions. Exactly what her position is. If it’s not a ban on fracking, what exactly is it? What exactly is her health care plan if she no longer favors abolishing private health insurance? Which just four short years ago when she ran for president, she did. That is the kind of scrutiny is missing.”
