The debate answer that proved Kamala Harris failed to keep her promise to explain her policy…despite insisting she has a plan

• Kamala Harris has faced questions about all of her past political positions

Vice President Kamala Harris was asked during the presidential debate on Tuesday about her many evolving policy positions, but she only detailed her policy change on the issue of fracking.

ABC News debate moderator Linsey Davis noted that Harris previously wanted to ban fracking, to enact a mandatory government buyback program for guns, and to decriminalizing border crossings.

‘So my values have not changed. And I’m going to discuss every one – at least every point that you’ve made,’ Harris began.

She first clarified that she had changed her position on the issue of fracking in 2020, as it was an important issue in the state of Pennsylvania.

‘I made that very clear in 2020. I will not ban fracking. I have not banned fracking as Vice President of the United States. And, in fact, I was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which opened new leases for fracking,’ she said.

The new fracking leases were included in the 2022 funding bill after Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) demanded they be included in the Inflation Reduction Act signed by President Joe Biden.

But Harris’ policy switch on fracking only took place after she was selected by Biden to be his running mate.

Harris spoke in favor of banning fracking during a CNN town hall on climate change during her failed presidential campaign.

‘There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,’ she said in September 2019.

As Attorney General of California, Harris even sued then- president Barack Obama’s administration for opening up the possibility of fracking off the coast of California, calling it a ‘threat to the health and well-being of California communities.’

 Harris did not detail her policy change on the gun issue, particularity her support of a mandatory gun buyback program for some semi-automatic rifles.

Instead, she said that both she and her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz were both gun owners.

‘We’re not taking anybody’s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff,’ she said, without addressing her past positions on gun control.

Harris not only voiced support for a government-led mandatory gun buyback program, but also supported executive action to restrict gun sales during her presidential campaign.

The vice president did not speak about why her campaign claims she no longer supports decriminalizing border crossings.

Harris even drew fire from Trump for copying his proposal to end taxes on tips and campaigning on securing the Southern border.

‘She’s going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat,’ he said, and added, ‘if she ever got elected, she’d change it and it will be the end of our country.’

Harris protested, ‘that’s not true’ when Trump tried to remind viewers that she had supported defunding the police, but did not go into detail.

Trump also reminded viewers of Harris’ support for transgender operations on imprisoned illegal aliens and her efforts to free violent Minneapolis protesters by raising bail funds.

Harris still has to address a number of issues where she took a progressive stance during the 2020 presidential primary.

She previously supported a mandate for automakers to stop producing gas powered vehicles by 2035, a ban plastic straws, reparations for slavery, building a wall on the Southern border, decriminalizing all illegal drugs for personal use, and decriminalizing prostitution.
