It’s possible!

In the 48 hours since Joe Biden revealed that Kamala Harris is his running mate, Americans have come to learn a significant amount about Harris’ unpopular opinions, despite her persona as someone who works hard for commonsense solutions.

Though Harris first won election to Congress as California’s junior senator in 2016, her views are well known to those who’ve followed her career from nascent prosecutor to candidate for vice president.

Here are the most extreme positions she’s taken along the way.

Defunding the Pentagon

Sen. Harris voiced support for defunding the Pentagon in July. While she stopped just short of endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders’ proposal to gut the Defense Department’s budget (perhaps considering the electoral consequences), Harris released a statement “unequivocally” agreeing on the need to cut defense spending.

Harris then joined 13 other radicals in the Senate to vote against the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, which authorizes military-related expenditures, including troop pay.

Green New Deal

Harris became one of the first senators in 2019 to back Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal to get rid of as many planes and farting cows as possible by 2030.

Around this time, GovTrack, a nonpartisan source of government information and statistics, rated Harris as 2019’s most liberal U.S. senator. More liberal than Chuck Schumer, more liberal than Elizabeth Warren; heck, more liberal than Bernie Sanders!

Medicare for All

Harris helped introduce Sen. Sanders’ Medicare for All Act of 2019 to the public as an original co-sponsor.

Harris’ support for “Medicare for All” became a cornerstone of her presidential campaign until she faced scrutiny over whether that meant abolishing private health insurance. Harris initially came clean when responding to a question about the status of private insurance under her plan in CNN town hall saying, “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.” 

She started walking back that response almost immediately, ultimately appearing on CBS News, where she promised that she would allow supplemental private insurance.

And yet the bill she co-sponsored with Sanders would prohibit health insurers from selling plans that duplicated coverage provided under the Act. 

Defunding the Police (When It’s Convenient)

Harris’ attitude towards law enforcement shifts one way or another depending entirely on what they can do for her.

In the wake of calls for police reform, it behooved the California senator to jump on the defund the police bandwagon to win support from left-wing activists. After all, they might not like her mixed record as a prosecutor.

Harris even went so far as to ask her supporters to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to post bail for rioters in police custody.

In 2004, Harris’ top priority as San Francisco’s newly-elected DA was making bail more expensive.

Gun Control

Wait, you thought Joe Biden’s gun-grabbing bona fides couldn’t be more firmly established? Think again, my friends. 

Kalama Harris actively promotes an even more virulent strain of gun control, antithetical to what the Founders’ stood for.

Harris has already pledged to Democrats that she wouldn’t hesitate to pass sweeping gun control via executive action if she had to.

What might that look like? Well, she’s on record as being for:

  • Mandated buybacks of so-called “assault rifles”
  • Universal background checks
  • Prohibiting rifle purchases for those under 21
  • Keeping law-abiding citizens from getting a concealed carry permit unless they could prove why they needed one — among other things.

  1. Since she wants to do away with planes we need to give her a bicycle to commute between her present position and Commieville.

  2. How does an anchor baby qualify to be VP or POTUS ??? So now a Chinese CCP anchor baby born in the USA raised by the CCP is able to run for presidential office??? What the h*’ll is going on here ? Kamala Harris is an anchor baby of the first extreme.

    1. Anchor baby but sorry to inform you she is a Natural Born United States Citizen,
      Whether we like it or not.

      1. Real or by definition of the media and the left????
        Whether you like it or not, Obama’s father was NEVER a citizen. As such, that disqualifies Barack as a legal candidate. But the elite ONE WORLD ORDER wanted to thumb their noses in our face by putting him in office. Next will be one of their European big shots.

  3. If O’biden wanted to look more moderate, he should have picked either, Tulsi Gabbard or Andrew Yang, not this ‘Hitlery wannabe’ from Californication?

  4. Pence has been the most active VP ever. Maybe it is a good thing that Harris is the choice. This might make her opinion go away. More likely someone will find a way to get BIDEN DEAD. And she will be POTUS.
    Talk about time for revolution!!!!!!

  5. & her family Owned slaves & crickets from media IE OWN etc on issue
    See the Dble Std. & examine her CA State record

  6. Willie Brown, Former Mayor of San Francisco, thought she was great under the covers. Sex Toy Kommie Harris?

  7. Harris was picked not for her beliefs but because of Gender and Color. Her color is not even real given she is not truly Black. So the only real reason she was pick is her gender. Given how Biden can’t keep his hands off females especially the under age ones is it really a good idea for him to be near her on the Campaign trail??? They don’t stand a chance and anyone with a brain knows this. Biden would only be President till after he was sworn in then the Democraps would have him declared unfit and She would take over. Then America would have another unfit person like Obozo in office.

  8. Another garbage from Democrats Party, everything what she got now usual Democrats Rules, PROSTITUTE YOURSELF, JUMP FROM DICK TO DICK AND YOU BE RICH AND POWERFUL DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!
    Harris where’s your honor, your ambition as “woman ” if you are one, you are worst like street prostitutes, I don’t even want look on you, you are “human ” waste product!!!!!!!!!
    What a shame garbage!!!!!!
