Trump blasts Harris over policy 'flip-flops'

Harris has, demonstrably, altered her positions on some issues.

Former President Donald Trump on Monday excoriated Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly reversing her positions on keynote progressive policy points, insisting she had long held different beliefs prior to emerging as the Democratic standard bearer.

"KAMALA HARRIS IS STRONG, FOR YEARS, ON OPEN BORDERS, NO FRACKING, DEFUND THE POLICE, AND MORE. LETS SEE HER FLIP-FLOP ON THOSE 'LITTLE' LIFELONG POLICIES OF HERS!!! A COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT CAMPAIGN!!!" he posted

Several articles Trump shared to his timeline around the same time as the post highlight Harris's myriad about-faces on policy, including her recent support for not taxing tips in spite of previously backing legislation to permit the IRS to track tips for the purpose of taxation.

Harris has, demonstrably, altered her positions on some issues, moreover. A Harris spokesperson in July claimed she would not seek a federal ban on fracking, for instance, after she previously backed such a move in 2020, when first running for president.

"Kamala Harris has flip-flopped on virtually every policy she has supported and lived by for her entire career, from the Border to Tips, and the Fake News Media isn’t reporting it," he posted earlier in the day. "She sounds more like Trump than Trump, copying almost everything. She is conning the American public, and will flip right back. I will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! There will be no flipping!!!"
