Senator JD Vance, once a critic of former President Donald Trump and now his running mate, has launched a scathing critique of Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a recent interview on CNN's State of The Union, Vance accused Harris of staging a theatrical performance rather than conducting a genuine political campaign. He likened her to a "chameleon," constantly altering her persona and policy positions to suit the audience she is addressing.
According to The Post Millennial, Vance lambasted Harris for her reliance on scripted speeches and lack of transparency regarding her policy positions. "She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter, everything is scripted, she doesnt have her policy positions out there, Vance stated. He also took issue with Harris's inconsistent stances on key issues, remarking, She hasnt answered why she wanted to ban fracking but now she doesnt. She wanted to defund the police, but now she doesnt. She wanted to open the border, but now she doesnt.
Vance further challenged Harris's political integrity, arguing that she should be held accountable for her shifting policy positions. "She should have to answer for why she presents a different set of policies to one audience and a different set of policies to another audience, he added.
When CNN's Dana Bash drew a comparison between Harris's shifting positions and Vance's own transformation from a Trump critic to supporter, Vance defended the right to change one's mind in response to changing circumstances. People change their minds when the facts change, they should, Vance explained. But if you want to be the peoples Vice President or President, you should have to stand before an interviewer and say This is why I changed my mind.
Harris has been under continuous scrutiny for backtracking on several positions she held during her 2020 presidential campaign. These include her support for defunding the police, decriminalizing border crossings, eliminating private healthcare, and implementing a gun buyback program, which many perceived as an indirect weapons ban.
Despite her attempts to distance herself from these far-left policy proposals, Harris has not yet satisfactorily addressed the media or answered questions about her current beliefs during her presidential run. This lack of transparency raises questions about her commitment to the principles of open governance and accountability.
