We all need to remember that she has been a major player in Washington for the past 3+ years, casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate and according to President Biden, she has been in agreement with all of his policies. Kamala Harris broke the record for Vice-Presidents casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate&#8211;she cast 32 votes to help pass President Biden&#8217;s agenda. (This figure comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/12\/05\/us\/politics\/kamala-harris-tiebreaking-vote-record.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Vice President Harris is running for president as though she is somehow an outsider running against the establishment rather than its hand-picked mouthpiece. She\u2019s not only an insider, she\u2019s the second ranking officer in the incumbent administration. She has previously campaigned on every one of the policies of the Biden\/Harris administration that have wrought so much damage to the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>To take only one example, consider Biden\u2019s opening of the border and his invitation to the whole wide world to come on in. Come on in, that is, and enjoy the freebies. Enjoy the freebies, that is, at the expense of American taxpayers. These are the policies that Harris herself promoted during her 2020 presidential campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>And yet Harris has adopted these campaign themes: She has \u201ca new way forward.\u201d We\u2019re not \u201cgoing back.\u201d Oh, yeah, and \u201cit\u2019s time to turn the page.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Harris pretends to resolve the contradiction by asserting that she\u2019s \u201cnot Joe Biden.\u201d However, not surprisingly, she\u2019s on \u201cthe same page\u201d as Joe Biden. What if \u201cit\u2019s time to turn the page\u201d? Harris herself was unable to keep up the pretense or reconcile the contradiction in her appearance on <em>The View<\/em> yesterday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked on The View what should would have done differently from President Biden during the past four years, she replied, &#8220;There is not a thing that comes to mind.&#8221; So how is Kamala Harris going to &#8216;turn the page&#8217; if she is elected after she and President Biden were on the same page for four years?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, Scott Johnson posted an article at Power Line Blog about Kamala Harris campaigning as a Washington outsider.
