Kamala Harris seems to be quickly becoming the queen of the flip-floppers.
There have been a variety of reports about her flip-flopping on positions such as fracking for example. Not by anything she says, mind you, but by unnamed people with her campaign. It sounds like they’re trying to make her more electable but also giving her plausible deniability to say that she never really flipped, if she wanted to. She herself has not really not outlined more than a couple of policies in her own words.
I wrote about how astonished even ABC’s Jon Karl was when Harris ran an ad about how tough she’s been on the border when it was really her main job and it was a colossal failure. But featured in the ad were shots of Trump’s border wall, as though she were taking credit for it, when she and the other Democrat fought it all the way, slamming it as wrong and racist.

So when I saw the story that Axios dropped on Tuesday, I almost choked on my breakfast. “Harris Flip-Flops on Building the Border Wall.” It says:
Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border — a project she once opposed and called “un-American” during the Trump administration.[….]
In her speech to the Democratic National Convention last week, Harris said she would sign the recent bipartisan border security bill [….]
- That bill, negotiated by senators such as James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), requires hundreds of millions of dollars of unspent funds to be used to continue building a wall on the border.
- “It requires the Trump border wall,” Lankford told Axios. “It is in the bill itself that it sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration: Here’s where it will be built. Here’s how it has to be built, the height, the type, everything during the Trump construction.”
Whoops. And her ad that she just ran claims she supported the bill as well. So if you support the bill, you support the continuation of the wall.
So let’s recall. Not only had she previously attacked the building of the wall, but when Biden and Harris got in they immediately stopped the building of the wall, as well as other Trump protections. That caused the border influx to blow up out of control. They not only didn’t build it, they even paid millions just to have the material sit unused and then tried to sell off the material at a loss.
She said things like this in the past in Jan. 2019 on a CNN Town Hall.
“I’m not gonna vote for a [border] wall under any circumstances.”

So after all that she’s now effectively saying they should spend more money to complete it and Trump was right in supporting this bill.
Does she understand this or is she going to walk it back once the spit hits the spam over this story? And why would anyone vote for her when she would flip-flop like that when they can vote for Trump who got it right from the beginning?
People just mocked her for her complete shamelessness in all of this.
KAMALA now vowing to finish the same border wall she spent 8 years bashing. Yo this woman is a complete sociopath but it’s gonna be hilarious when she starts wearing a MAGA hat.

Here we go again. Harris’s staffers are backgrounding reporters to push out major policy flip-flops.

Trump’s running mate JD Vance just decimated her, calling her a “fake.”
Kamala Harris is a fake.
If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now! https://t.co/EXyBzk1DpR

He said, “If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now.”
Exactly. They wouldn’t have wasted all the time and money Bottom line? It’s an election ploy. She’s desperate to flip the script on how much she’s failed on the border and wants to sound tough. So once again you have this effort to make her look more centrist and less radical on the issue.
If the reaction on X is any indication, not too many people are buying it.
