VP Harris shredded for claiming 'my values have not changed' amid policy flip-flops: 'Still a radical'
Vice President Kamala Harris faced mockery online Thursday for telling CNN that despite flip-flopping on policy, her "values have not changed."
In her first sit-down interview as a presidential candidate, with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz by her side, Harris was asked to explain her many major policy shifts.
"Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you've made?" CNN host Dana Bash asked Harris. "Is it because you have more experience now, and you've learned more about the information? Is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?"
"I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed," Harris told the news host. "You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed, and I have worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time. We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act."
