Tom Cotton reminds CNN’s Dana Bash of Harris’ past comments on school shootings in tense interviewUnmute

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., turned the tables during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday, invoking Kamala Harris’ past rhetoric on “demilitarizing” schools in a tense on-air exchange.

Cotton appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” to discuss the tragic Apalachee High School shooting in which two teachers and two students were killed last week. The GOP lawmaker attempted to set the record straight after Bash asked him about an Associated Press headline last week that implied that JD Vance had dismissed school shootings as a “fact of life.”

The AP headline was later replaced after Vance’s team and online critics deemed it blatantly misleading, noting that at a rally in Phoenix last week, Vance remarked on the school shooting, “I don’t like that this is a fact of life…” before calling for heightened security for schools.

“Do you accept that school shootings like this are just a way of life now?” Bash asked Cotton.

“Absolutely not and JD Vance doesn’t either,” the Republican lawmaker fired back, rebuking the Associated Press for distorting the quote.

Cotton went on to praise the school officers on site who approached the 14-year-old shooter and took him into custody, before highlighting Kamala Harris’ recently unearthed comments about her support for removing police officers from schools. 

“Here’s what we also know about that shooting even if we’re still gathering all the facts. It wasn’t as bad as it might have been because there was a police officer on school premises that was able to neutralize the shooter. Kamala Harris wants to take police officers out of schools. She’s said it in the past,” Cotton said.

A video from 2019 surfaced last week showing Harris declaring her support for removing police officers from schools in an effort to “demilitarize” campuses during her time as a California senator.

“That’s her position,” Cotton told Bash. “That’s not surprising, because she’s consistently taken positions against law enforcement throughout her career as a San Francisco liberal. If that police officer hadn’t been there, if Kamala Harris had gotten her way, many more students and teachers might have been killed.”

Family members of school-shooting victims condemned Harris’ 2019 comments, including Ryan Petty and Andrew Pollack, two dads who lost their respective teenage daughters in the tragic Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018. 

“Wreckless. Radical. Kamala wants to make schools less safe. Your kids aren’t safe with Kamala Harris in office,” Petty, who lost his 14-year-old daughter Alaina Petty in the 2018 shooting wrote on X.

“This is sickening. My daughter was killed because Parkland didn’t have enough security. We need more school resource officers — not fewer!” Pollack, whose 18-year-old daughter Meadow Pollack was killed in the same shooting, wrote.

Harris was quick to call for action against gun violence in the aftermath of the shooting.

“Our hearts are with the students, teachers, and families impacted by this shooting, and we are grateful to the first responders and law enforcement on the scene,” Harris wrote on X. “This is a senseless tragedy — and it does not have to be this way. We must end the epidemic of gun violence in our country once and for all.”

It is unclear whether Harris still supports removing police officers from schools. Her campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

They might know it or care as long as the Democrats are in charge and continue their radical agenda is the way most Democrats feel.

Not until they feel the wrath of the lightening when it strikes them will they care.

And, then when the country is gone – will they moan and groan – WHAT HAPPENED?

Shocking Poll: Most Democrats Clueless About Kamala Harris’s Radical Agenda

A recent poll released on August 14 reveals a startling level of ignorance among Democratic voters regarding the political positions of Vice President Kamala Harris. The poll, which specifically targeted Democrats and independent voters who supported President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, found that a significant majority are unaware of Harris’s radical stances on key issues, many of which are matters of public record.

The findings raise concerns about the level of political awareness within the Democratic electorate, particularly given Harris’s potential role as a future presidential candidate. Despite Harris’s prominent position in the Biden administration and her well-documented policy positions, it appears that many voters are either uninformed or misinformed about the extent of her ideological leanings.

Jesse Watters Hits The Beach To Find Out What Voters Think about Kamala Video:

From a conservative perspective, this lack of awareness among Democratic voters is indicative of a broader issue within the party. The poll’s results suggest that the Democratic base may be more focused on party loyalty than on the specific policies and principles espoused by its leaders. This phenomenon could be attributed to the mainstream media’s reluctance to scrutinize Harris’s record in the same way it has done with conservative figures.

The poll asked respondents about several of Harris’s positions on issues such as healthcare, immigration, and law enforcement. These positions, which include support for government-run healthcare, decriminalization of illegal border crossings, and significant reductions in police funding, align with the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. Yet, despite the radical nature of these stances, the poll found that a majority of Democratic voters either were unaware of Harris’s positions or believed she held more moderate views.

According to the Western Journal:i

‘The majority of people polled, 71 percent, are unaware of Harris’ support for race-based reparations payments.

While Harris has not announced a concrete position on the issue, she has loudly voiced her support for radical reparations.

“So that’s why I’m reluctant to have a simple answer to it,” Harris said on the question of reparations in 2019, “because, frankly, I don’t believe that writing a check is gonna be enough.

“And the worst thing that I think could happen,” she continued, “is that checks get written and then everybody says, ‘OK, stop talking about this now,’ without addressing the systemic inequities that are deep and require investment.”

This disconnect between Harris’s actual policies and the perceptions of Democratic voters may have significant implications for the upcoming elections. If voters are unaware of the radical nature of Harris’s positions, they may be less inclined to critically evaluate her fitness for higher office. Conversely, if these positions become more widely known, they could alienate moderate Democrats and independents who are uncomfortable with the direction in which Harris would likely take the country.

Critics of the Biden administration argue that Harris’s radical positions are reflective of a broader shift within the Democratic Party toward far-left policies. This shift, they contend, is out of step with the values of mainstream America and could lead to significant electoral losses for the party if voters become more informed. The fact that so many Democratic voters are unaware of Harris’s positions only underscores the need for greater transparency and media scrutiny.

Moreover, the poll’s findings raise questions about the media’s role in shaping public perceptions of political figures. The apparent disconnect between Harris’s well-documented positions and the awareness of Democratic voters suggests that the media may not be adequately informing the public about the policy implications of her candidacy. This lack of critical coverage may contribute to the perpetuation of a narrative that paints Harris as a moderate, despite her alignment with the most radical elements of her party.

As the 2024 election approaches, the results of this poll should serve as a wake-up call for both the media and the electorate. Voters have a responsibility to educate themselves about the positions of those they support, especially when those positions have the potential to radically reshape the country. For conservatives, the poll highlights the importance of exposing the true nature of Harris’s policies and ensuring that voters are fully informed before casting their ballots.

In light of these findings, it is crucial that voters take a more critical approach to evaluating the candidates they support. The future of the country may well depend on it.

Obama/Pelosi fooled all of you! Democrats don’t care as long as they are in power and have the PURSE – SPENDING TRILLIONS/TRILLIONS and the debt goes up and up.

“The bait to the people was he was going to govern as bipartisan, but the switch is he’s governed as a socialist,”

And, now with Kamala cackling – she is pulling the same thing – trying old Joe’s trick because people don’t pay attention.

Too funny – one Democrat stated: I was born a Democrat and will die as a Democrat. They aren’t smart enough to know – THERE IS NO DEMOCRATIC PARTY now – IT IS A SOCIALIST/PROGRESSIVE PARTY. The Democratic Party was left in the dust four years ago as Biden said and did all the while laughing all the way to bank with Chinese dough.

Yes, Biden is governing as a progressive. But that shouldn’t surprise you.

President Biden’s Republican critics charge that he has foisted a “bait and switch” on voters — that he campaigned as a moderate but veered abruptly to the left after he arrived at the White House.

“The bait was he was going to govern as bipartisan, but the switch is he’s governed as a socialist,” House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield complained last month.

“He talks like a moderate but is governing to satisfy the far left,” Senate Republican chief Mitch McConnell of Kentucky chimed in.

They’re right on one count: Biden is pushing an ambitious progressive program while making it sound, well, moderate.

But their charge of false advertising is bogus. Biden never concealed his big-government goals; they were all in plain sight in his platform.

It’s still on the campaign website for anyone who wants to check. Candidate Biden called for more than $4 trillion in new federal spending, beginning with an immediate stimulus to help the economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. It included massive proposals to combat climate change, rebuild infrastructure, reduce poverty, subsidize child care and provide universal pre-K education.

Sound familiar? All those planks resurfaced in Biden’s proposals this year: his $1.9-trillion COVID-19 relief bill, his $2-trillion-plus jobs plan and his $1.8-trillion family-policy plan.

To be fair, McCarthy and McConnell may have been too busy to read up on their opponent’s long and detailed program. Their party saved time by not having a platform at all.

But surely they noticed when former President Obama released a video last year praising Biden for “the most progressive platform of any major party nominee in history.” Or when Biden, in his last big campaign speech, compared his program to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and prom-ised a pandemic plan, a healthcare plan, a climate plan and an economic plan “to give working people a fair shot again.”

“None of this should have come as a surprise,” Greg Schultz, Biden’s campaign manager during last year’s primary season, told me. “My only surprise is that people weren’t listening.”

McCarthy and McConnell weren’t the only ones who underestimated Biden’s commitments. Plenty of progressives didn’t quite believe it, either.

After all, during the primaries Biden had presented himself as a moderate, pragmatic alternative to Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

Biden’s Democratic rivals chastised him for centrist positions he took decades ago: his 1970s opposition to mandatory busing to desegregate schools, his 1994 vote for then-President Clinton’s punitive crime bill. Those ancient controversies made him sound like an out-of-touch relic.

But they were forgetting one of Biden’s most striking features: his adaptability. He is — as critics used to say about FDR — something of a political chameleon.

Over 51 years in politics, Biden has always positioned himself at his party’s center — which has required a steady evolution toward the left.

The Biden of 2008 who ran as Obama’s running mate was more progressive than the Biden of 1994 who voted for Clinton’s crime bill. The Biden of 2012 who declared himself a fan of same-sex marriage was more progressive than the Biden of 2008.

When he pondered entering the 2016 presidential race, he intended to run to Hillary Clinton’s left and Bernie Sanders’ right — a classic Biden gambit to seek his party’s center point.

“Biden for President was going to go big,” Biden wrote of the plans for that never-launched campaign in his 2017 memoir. “A $15 minimum wage. Free tuition at our public colleges and universities. Real job training. On-site affordable child care. Equal pay for women. Strengthening the Affordable Care Act. A job creation program built on investing in and modernizing our roads and bridges…. We needed what I called an American Renewal Project.”

Sound familiar?

By the time Biden ran in 2020, two things happened to push him even further.

One was the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it clear to both parties that big spending would be needed to rescue the economy. After Republican leaders, including then-President Trump, approved more than $3.8 trillion in COVID relief last year, GOP complaints about big-money requests from the new president sounded hollow.

The second was Democrats’ unexpected capture of 50 seats in the Senate, which meant the new president could pass much of his program without Republican votes. Yes, Biden had promised to seek bipartisan compromises — but now he no longer had to worry about obstructionist Republicans whose only goal was to stop his program in its tracks.

And that — not spurious charges of a “bait and switch” on policy — is probably what makes Mitch McConnell so grouchy.

****

Yes, Biden promised bipartisan compromises which never happened and still continuing the BIG SPEND AND SPEND.

SO – BUYER BEWARE – the Kamala roach is pulling the same switcheroo in each town she visits because she knows PEOPLE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND. For tomorrow is another day to SPIN HER WORDS AND CACKLE to mislead the people in their tracks.

That is the reason for the cackle – it throws people off – and she knows that!
