One of Kamala Harris' Biggest Mistakes Gets Thrown Back in Her Face During Interview, Forcing Her to Explain

On Tuesday, Jon Delano of KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, conducted a notable remote interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

As anticipated, the vice president largely avoided giving direct answers during the interview, which lasted 11 minutes.

However, on an issue significant to voters in swing-state Pennsylvania, Harris had to directly address a previous policy stance, and even a supportive local interviewer couldn't prevent the vice president from confronting her past.

Early in the interview, Delano mentioned a local campaign ad quoting Harris as supporting a ban on fracking.

The ad was from Republican Senate nominee Dave McCormick.

Since July, McCormick has consistently linked his opponent, Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, to the vice president. For example, here's an ad from last month:

Notably, Harris's own words from 2019 are quoted: "There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking."

Delano read that quote aloud and then asked Harris if she had changed her stance.

Astonishingly, Harris called the ad "a mischaracterization that I think is intended to make people afraid of my presidency."

She even attempted to portray herself as supportive of fracking.

"I will not ban fracking. I did not as vice president. In fact, I cast the tie-breaking vote to open up more fracking leases," she stated.

However, the vice president never explained why she shifted her view.

Harris’s response about fracking went on for another 60 uncomfortable seconds, much of which was nonsensical.

For example, near the end of her statement, she shifted to talking about "lifting up the middle class."

This line of thought included the following convoluted statement:

"My perspective on this issue is that I'm gonna bring jobs back to rural communities, I'm gonna make sure that we invest in those communities that have done the kind of work that you have in mind when we talk about Pittsburgh, when we talk about the greater aspect of Pennsylvania, and I'm gonna keep doing that work."

The "greater aspect of Pennsylvania"?

For those who, for whatever reason, wish to watch the entire interview, the segment on fracking began around the 3:50 mark.

Somehow, Harris’s performance deteriorated even further after the fracking question.

For instance, Delano repeatedly asked how Harris would prevent a Japanese buyer from purchasing Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel. The vice president said she would prevent it but never provided specifics.

Similarly, Delano questioned Harris regarding former President Donald Trump's assertion that she had nearly four years to fulfill the promises she’s making in her presidential campaign.

On this point, Delano's attempts to lead the vice president to an answer were blatantly apparent.

"Is he right?" Delano asked, referring to Trump. "Or did President Biden not give you, or limit in some way, your role as vice president?"

Harris failed to address the question. She struggled to articulate a response, fumbling to such an extent that Delano had to prompt her further.

"But you would acknowledge that as vice president you can't do the things that you can do as president," Delano offered.

It seemed that even the vice president didn't realize she had just been rescued by a friendly local interviewer, but it was certainly visible to viewers.

Amid all of Harris's evasive answers and confusing statements, it's important to remember the core point here.

In summary, when faced with her own words from 2019, Harris labeled them as a "mischaracterization" and never explained why her position had changed.

In essence, she seemed to be telling those who saw McCormick's ad, "Reject the evidence of your eyes and ears." Under the current administration, with Biden and Harris at the helm, this level of Orwellian narrative control is evident.

Surely viewers noticed this. And to those swing-state voters who witnessed the entire interview, even a supportive local interviewer couldn't shield Harris from herself.
