Tom Cotton Takes On ABC’s Karl, Exposes Kamala’s Hidden Far-Left Agenda [VIDEOS]

On ABC’s “This Week,” Republican Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas challenged the notion that Kamala Harris has moderated her political stance since her 2020 presidential campaign.

During the discussion, host Jonathan Karl suggested that Harris had shifted toward the center, a claim Cotton fervently disputed.

Cotton argued that despite appearances at the recent Democratic National Convention, Harris has not publicly distanced herself from the far-left policies she once championed. “The American people are totally justified to conclude that Kamala Harris is a dangerous San Francisco liberal based on what she campaigned on the last time she ran for president and what this administration has done the last four years,” Cotton stated.

He criticized Harris for her previous campaign promises, including her stance on decriminalizing illegal immigration, which he used to highlight his point that Harris has not made a clear shift from her prior positions.

Instead, Cotton accused Harris of concealing her true policy intentions rather than revising them. “Again, you would have thought watching the Democratic convention last week that the Democrats are not in office, that they’re not in power, that they’re campaigning against an incumbent Republican. When in reality, she’s been part of the failures of the Biden-Harris Administration for four years,” he added.

Karl interjected, mentioning that Harris had allegedly changed her position, a point that Cotton quickly countered by noting the absence of direct communication from Harris herself. “No, no, she has not. Jon, she has not said that. You pointed out to Senator Sanders repeatedly — things that her campaign has said. Anonymous aides speaking on background reporters have said, ‘Well, she no longer believes these things.’ Okay, maybe she has changed her position on health insurance and confiscating your gun. If she has changed her position, she owes it to the American people to come out and say in her own words when she changed and why she changed,” Cotton insisted.

Kamala Harris is so extreme she wants to kick you off the health insurance you get through your job.

Cotton emphasized the need for Harris to personally address these questions to provide clarity on her policy stances and her vision if she were to become president.

He stressed the significance of her previous campaign statements: “Remember, these are not, like, college essays, Jon. This is what she said when she was campaigning for president as a 54-year-old woman. If she’s had such a radical change of heart in the last five years, she owes the American people answers.”

The conversation highlighted ongoing Republican criticisms of Harris as they accuse her of flip-flopping on major policy issues such as fracking, federal gun buybacks, and the role of private health insurance. Despite assertions from her campaign and supporters defending her evolving positions, Harris herself has not yet addressed these changes in a comprehensive press interview.

Recently, Harris’ national campaign co-chair, Mitch Landrieu, attempted to clarify her position on police funding during a CNN interview, suggesting that her actions indicate support for funding the police alongside other measures to enhance public safety.

However, this explanation has done little to quell the debate over her true policy intentions as the presidential race continues.
