If she’s elected president, 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.
This is very misleading. All she said is that she would sign the border bill that had been negotiated and had broad bipartisan support before Trump had the Senate kill it to try to help his campaign. That bill extends the timeline for spending the 600 million already appropriated for the wall under the trump administration. This is a far cry from Trump’s 18 billion wall spanning the entire border. I don’t support this bill but I think it is dishonest to claim she has changed her position, merely accepting what was negotiated in Congress and her liking other provisions in it.
Good luck getting a single commenter to pause long enough to consider what you’re saying. They’ve already jumped on the outrage wagon, full steam ahead.
Post-downvote brigade edit: See?
Edit 2: Here’s proof of the brigade, for anyone who’s curious.
As expected, but someone has to say it. 🤣😓
