The Radical Left has many deep, dark secrets. And they are trying to hide them all before election season.
But a liberals senator’s shocking comments about Harris have exposed her dark secrets.
In a recent appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash, California Senator Laphonza Butler addressed the growing concerns about Vice President Kamala Harris’ shifting positions on several key issues.
This discussion has reignited debates about political integrity and consistency within the Democratic Party, with many conservatives pointing to these flip-flops as evidence of the party’s lack of firm principles.
During the interview, Bash confronted Butler with a straightforward question: “What do you think that voters should think when she has reversed herself on several issues in the last four years?” Butler’s response was predictably diplomatic: “I think that voters should think that she’s a human being who learns new things every single day.”

This response, attempting to humanize Harris, glosses over the more profound issue at hand: the apparent opportunism that underlies these reversals. Let’s delve into some of the most glaring examples of Harris’ policy flip-flops.
During her 2020 presidential campaign, Harris voiced support for the “defund the police” movement, a stance that resonated with the far-left faction of her party.
However, as public opinion shifted and crime rates soared, Harris quickly distanced herself from this radical position. This change is not a reflection of “learning” but rather a calculated move to align with the shifting winds of public sentiment and electoral necessity.
Harris also initially advocated for decriminalizing border crossings, a stance that alarmed many conservatives and moderates concerned about national security and the rule of law.
As the vice president, she has since moderated her view, recognizing the political and practical implications of such a policy. This reversal, again, seems more about political survival than genuine evolution in thinking.
Another significant flip-flop is Harris’ stance on Medicare for All. Initially a supporter, Harris has since retreated from this position, likely due to the realization that the policy’s radical nature could alienate a substantial portion of the electorate.
The move away from Medicare for All is a clear indication of Harris’ willingness to abandon core principles for the sake of political expediency.
One of the most notable reversals has been on the issue of fracking. In 2020, Harris unequivocally supported banning fracking, stating there was “no question” about her stance. However, with the 2024 presidential race looming and the importance of fracking to swing states like Pennsylvania, Harris has attempted to revise her position.
Former President Donald Trump has capitalized on this flip-flop, repeatedly highlighting it at his rallies. “She wants to ban fracking,” Trump declared at a recent rally in North Carolina. “You’re going to be paying a lot of money. You’re going to be paying so much. You’re going to say ‘bring back Trump.’”
In response to Trump’s comments, a Harris campaign spokesperson attempted to deflect, labeling Trump’s claims as false and accusing him of distracting from his own policies. However, the damage was done, and the inconsistency in Harris’ stance was laid bare for all to see.
Senator Laphonza Butler’s role in defending Harris’ flip-flops is noteworthy. As a rising star in the Democratic Party, Butler’s defense of Harris seems less about genuine belief in Harris’ evolving positions and more about maintaining party unity and protecting a fellow Democrat.
Butler’s assertion that Harris is simply “learning new things” does little to address the concerns of voters who value consistency and transparency in their leaders.
Harris’ and Butler’s actions are emblematic of a broader issue within the Democratic Party: a willingness to say anything to get elected, regardless of previous commitments or statements.
This lack of steadfastness undermines the trust that voters place in their elected officials and raises serious questions about their true convictions.
Harris’ flip-flopping on critical issues such as policing, border security, healthcare, and energy policy reveals a politician who is more concerned with political survival than with upholding consistent, principled positions. This pattern of behavior is troubling, especially for a candidate seeking the highest office in the land.
