Kamala Harris is no stranger to a changing policy stances when convenient.
And now, with some help from the media, Harris has sought to change Americans’ perception of her as she bids to win the presidential election in November. In the absence of media scrutiny, the Vice President also stolen ideas from Republican rival Donald Trump and tried to portray them as her own, such as his “no tax on tips” proposal.
Her latest debacle involves Medicare for All – the Bernie Sanders-backed brainchild which would undoubtedly cost the American taxpayer billions (or trillions) where the federal government would cover the cost of all essential healthcare.
Pushing for “Medicare for All” is nothing new, with a modern push for it dating back to 2003 in the U.S. Despite repeated attempts, a bill in its favor has never passed Congress.
In 2019, as Sen. Sanders once again tried to pass the bill, the now-Vice President was happy to co-sponsor and offer her support, saying, “This is about a right, not just a privilege for a few.”
However, now her political career depends on it, Harris has scrapped her support for the concept she once co-sponsored in a complete U-turn.
One social media user noted the Vice President’s history of flip-flopping on important issues.
Some called for Harris to address the issue directly.
Others noted the Democrat’s ability to say whatever suits the electorate.
