Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris continues to avoid speaking to the press, perhaps wishing she could retreat to her basement.

At the same time, the most liberal presidential candidate ever continues to rely on the media to hide her record as she flip-flops on one position after another.

During her 2019 campaign, Harris endorsed a total ban on fracking and offshore drilling. When asked previously, she said that fossil fuel workers should be assisted with transitioning to different careers. She also said that the Green New Deal should be passed even if it means doing away with the filibuster. In July, her campaign pledged that she would not ban fracking.

As a senator, she said that she would like to see ICE replaced, and as part of her 2020 platform, she promised to decriminalize border crossings. According to her campaign, Harris now believes that “unauthorized border crossings are illegal.”

In 2019, Harris said she wanted to get rid of private healthcare. She is also on record saying that healthcare should be provided to illegal aliens.

“I believe the solution—and I actually feel very strongly about this—is that we need to have Medicare for All. That’s just the bottom line,” Harris said. “What we know is that to live in a civil society, to be true to the ideals and the spirit of who we say we are as a country, we have to appreciate and understand that access to health care … should not be thought of as a privilege. It should be understood to be a right,” she said, later telling CNN’s Jake Tapper that private healthcare should be eliminated.

Harris’ campaign now says that she no longer backs universal healthcare.

In her 2020 campaign, Harris endorsed the mandatory confiscation of legally owned firearms. “We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program,” she said.

Last month, Harris campaign officials told The New York Times that she does not believe in making it a requirement to sell assault weapons to the federal government.

In July, after failing to attend Israeli President Benyamin Netanyahu’s address of Congress because of a sorority function, she claimed that she supported Israel’s right to defend itself. Last week, she agreed to meet with pro-Palestinians and discuss a possible arms embargo on Israel, despite her campaign later attempting to deny it.

You need a scorecard to keep up with the changes in her positions, which are coming fast and furious.

A recently resurfaced 2017 video shows Harris saying, “We have to stay woke. Like, everybody needs to be woke. … Just stay more woke than less woke.”

 

The response to Harris’ constant flip-flopping in a desperate attempt to win votes has been sharp.

“She’s going to say whatever she thinks will get her elected, but I don’t know how you trust anything someone says when they take 180-degree opposite positions depending on who they’re talking to,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said. “I just think she’s not a credible person.”

The media bias to her constant flip-flopping is blatant. As long as it comes from Harris’ mouth, it’s gold. Consider her recent attempt to steal former President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to end taxes on tips. (Remember when she cast the deciding vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, a move that helped the IRS chase after people who didn’t pay taxes on tips.)

The headline after Trump proposed not taxing tips: “Trump proposal to exempt tips from taxes could cost $250 billion.”

And the headline after Harris proposed the exact same thing: “Vice President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position, saying she’ll fight to end taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”

The New York Post reports on Harris’ latest attempt to distance herself from her former positions. Here’s the start of the story:

Vice President Kamala Harris is furiously trying to “distance” herself from President Biden’s record — while also disavowing the far-left policies she heartily embraced just a few years ago.

The result is a campaign run entirely on style over substance since Harris took the Democratic mantle from Biden last month.

And Democratic campaign operatives warn that she risks voters catching on — and realizing she’s selling only cynical political opportunism.

“It’s a marketing strategy that is TV-esque,” one senior Democratic aide said. “With such a short timeline now, policy matters less than personality.

“She’s going to almost exclusively look at a voter like a consumer — and sell, sell, sell!” the aide quipped.

“Do I think that’s a long-term strategy? No,” the aide admitted. “But I think the plan is win and figure it out.”

Another Democratic campaign operative told The Post Wednesday that Harris was wisely trying to break with Biden’s economic policies due to his “horrible” polling numbers — and is prepared to jettison any of their administration’s talking points that don’t have “strong” public support.
