NextImg:Questions for Kamala Harris

By now everyone who is paying attention knows that Vice President Kamala Harris intends to be elected president without saying anything other than, “I’m not Donald Trump.” She won’t answer questions about the policies she would pursue as president because she — and they — are so radical that American voters would reject her.

Harris is a radical even among progressives. We need to remember that on Election Day.

Her CNN interview, which was a set-piece without substance, was not a statement of policy, but an attempt to show — falsely — that Harris has moved to the center and is no longer the radical progressive she has been throughout her political career. (READ MORE from Jed Babbin: Biden’s Phantom Truce)

Her media minions are responding with praise for her that is entirely over the top. She’s proclaimed to be a “moderate” despite the fact that everything she and Biden have done is high on the radical progressive agenda. Perhaps the worst reaction was from ABC’s Jonathan Karl who compared Harris to Ronald Reagan. That calumny is a slander to everything the Gipper said, stood for, and accomplished.

Perhaps Trump can tie her down in a debate but I’ll bet dollars to donuts that she’ll be almost as slippery as Hillary. Harris isn’t as smart as Clinton but she can duck and weave as any politician can.

Even a New York Times article asked questions Kamala should answer but won’t. The American people are entitled to know what a presidential candidate will do after he or she is elected and Harris is determined to hide her cards.

Query Kamala Harris

So what are we left with? There are questions Harris should be compelled to answer. Here are a dozen of them that the media — if they weren’t in the bag for her — would be asking.

  1. In your CNN interview you said that there should be consequences for anyone entering the country illegally. Yet, less than a month ago, you said that America should create a legal path to citizenship for the illegals. How, precisely, would you stop or even reduce the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S.?
  2. At another point in your CNN interview, you said of Bidenomics, “There’s more to do. But that’s good work.” Bidenomics has caused the highest level of inflation in forty years. It’s a tax on the middle class and the working poor both of whom you claim to favor. What parts of Bidenomics do you believe were “good work” and what else comprises your statement that “there’s more to do” on the economy?
  3. What policies will you pursue to fight inflation?
  4. You have repeatedly said that Israel has a right to defend itself but you always qualify that by saying there have been too many civilian casualties in the Gaza war. What conditions would you impose on U.S. aid to Israel to reduce the number of civilian casualties?
  5. Biden has done nothing to pressure Hamas to release the U.S. hostages it holds. At least one — Hersh Goldberg-Polin — was murdered by Hamas a few days ago. What will you do to get the few remaining U.S. hostages released?
  6. Perhaps the only thing that Trump did that Biden hasn’t undone is Trump’s revocation of the 2015 nuclear weapons deal former president Obama made with Iran. Would you seek to renew that agreement? If so, why?
  7. Iran is on the brink of developing and being able to deploy nuclear weapons. Biden, along with most of his predecessors since George H.W. Bush, has said Iran will never be permitted to have nuclear weapons. Would you join in that vow and how would you enforce it?
  8. If China attacks Taiwan or the Philippines would you defend either with U.S. military forces?
  9. How would you bring the Russia-Ukraine war to an end? How much more aid would you give to Ukraine?
  10. Biden has, on more than one occasion, such as his student loan forgiveness program, defied the Supreme Court’s rulings. Will you ever defy the Supreme Court’s rulings?
  11. Biden’s “woke” policies have made our military less able to fight. You said in 2017 that everybody should be “woke.” Will you do anything to relieve the military of the burden of the “wokeness” ideology?
  12. The platform you are running on says, “Democrats believe the measure of our security is not how much we spend on defense, but how we spend our defense dollars and in what proportion to other tools in our foreign policy toolbox and other urgent domestic investments. We believe we can and must ensure our security while restoring stability, predictability, and fiscal discipline in defense spending. We spend 13 times more on the military than we do on diplomacy … We can maintain a strong defense and protect our safety and security for less.“ How much will you cut from the defense budget to spend more on diplomacy and “urgent domestic investments”?

It would be shocking if Harris answered any of these questions in the course of her campaign. She won’t because any truthful answers will doom her candidacy and because the media will protect her from having to answer them. (READ MORE: Is Israel Deterring Iran?)

The late great columnist Robert Novak once told me that a presidential vote is as personal to Americans as the choice of a spouse. Harris is a radical even among progressives. We need to remember that on Election Day.
