“Liar, liar, pants on fire. Your tongue is as long as a telephone wire!” Bernie Sanders might as well recited this children’s rhyme when speaking to NBC News about Kamala Harris. Although he didn’t call her a liar outright, he did say that her recently announced shifts in policy –which are mostly total denials of her past record — are all “pragmatic” moderations in campaign strategy, and that she is only “doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election.”
So, Bernie has admitted that what Kamala has been saying since she won her party’s nomination through a palace coup is carefully crafted to “win the election” . Yes, Bernie has outed Kamala, adding that no matter what she says, she’s still a “progressive”, the preferred leftist epithet for Marxists of all stripes, including Bernie himself.
Prepare for the Cubanization of the U.S., folks. It’s coming at us, fast and furious, at hypersonic speed.
Abridged from NBC News
Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Sunday called Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to moderate her views on fracking and “Medicare for All” “pragmatic,” saying that Harris is “doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election” and that he still considers her to be “progressive.”
In recent weeks, Harris has changed her stance on certain issues, like supporting a ban on fracking, the ecologically controversial method of extracting oil and gas, and supporting proposals for “Medicare for All.”
In an interview with CNN last month, Harris defended her shifting positions, saying, “The most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed.”
Sanders has stopped short of endorsing her since she replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.
Sanders said Sunday that he still considers Harris to be a progressive.
“She is not where I am,” he said, but he added that her campaign’s positions on making the child tax credit permanent, expanding affordable housing options and boosting unions are still “a big deal.”
“Her views are not mine, but I do consider her progressive,” he said.
Bernie is not giving anything away. He knows that, barring frank mental retardation, Dems and/or TDS types know Kamala is full of it regarding any kind of “centrism” and will vote for her anyway.
