Sara Carter: Kamala Harris Is a ‘Chameleon’ That Can’t Hide Her Changing Record
On Thursday’s “Ingraham Angle,” Sara A. Carter described Senator Kamala Harris, D-CA, the running mate to presumed Democratic nominee for the 2020 presidential election former Vice President Joe Biden, as a “chameleon” that’s constantly changed her stance on key issues throughout her career.
“This would be the woman that would be running things because even Vice President Joe Biden has said that himself,” Carter said. “He understands that he’s aging, that this is somebody that he wants to put in place. What it would mean is a radical agenda and somebody who’s a chameleon. I mean, she transforms herself whenever she wants into whatever she wants.”
Citing a CNN appearance Harris made in April 2019, Carter explained that Biden’s running mate floated the idea of allowing prisoners to vote. Moreover, its her support for other progressive policies, such as “The Green New Deal” and open borders, that are frightening, Carter added.
“The irony is that she was willing to prosecute so many people for minor crimes in California. In fact, she prosecuted more people than Joe Biden’s insulted in his life. This is a person that is so wishy-washy. I think the American people will see right through it and they’ll definitely see right through it before November. There’s no way to kind of hide that record,” Carter concluded.
Progressive California is digging itself deeper and deeper into a literal energy crisis. Last week, twenty members of the Air Quality Management District “approved the plan to phase out and ban gas-powered systems that emit nitrogen oxide, or NOx, and that contribute to air pollution. Three board members were absent, and one member abstained” writes National Review.
The ban will phase out the sale of new gas furnaces and water heaters in Northern California. As a result, it will “be costly for residents, will further burden an already stretched electric grid, and will have minimal environmental impact” energy experts and economists told National Review.
“The move is emblematic of California’s approach to energy, which involves ramping up the demand for electricity while gutting the state’s ability to meet its electricity needs,” they said.
Specifically, it is “a regressive policy that’s going to increase costs in a state that is already unaffordable, it’s going to do minimal in terms of reducing [greenhouse-gas] emissions, and it’s going to stress a problem that we already have no plan of addressing, which is [that] our grid is going to be unable to provide reliable electricity,” said Wayne Winegarden, a senior fellow in business and economics at the California-based Pacific Research Institute who is studying the state’s electricity shortfall.
Winegarden said California already has a major housing-affordability problem. “And now we’re going to make it even less affordable,” he said. While there are state and federal incentives and subsidies for people to purchase and install electric heating systems, Winegarden, an economist, called it a “shell game.”
“Subsidies don’t get rid of the costs,” he said. “They just redistribute the costs.”
The board’s vote did not address natural-gas stoves because it doesn’t regulate indoor air pollution, notes National Review. However, earlier this year, the Biden administration’s Consumer Product Safety Commission was considering restrictions, and possibly a ban, on natural-gas stoves.
