Liberal Senators Confident Flip-Flopping Kamala Harris Would Quickly Veer Left If Elected

Since becoming the Democrat presidential nominee, Kamala Harris has been flip-flopping like a caught bass hauled into the boat, and she’s backed off her vow to ban fracking, she’s suddenly talking tough on the border—despite the reality that the Biden-Harris regime laid down a welcome mat for illegal aliens—and she’s adopting Trump policies like no tax on tips. It’s apparent that she’ll say anything to get elected regardless of whether she actually believes it or even if she's said the exact opposite in the past.

But some liberal lawmakers aren’t worried because they don’t believe her and know she’d come roaring back to the extreme progressive cause were she to get elected. Joe Biden ran as a moderate, and yet he’s become arguably the most extreme left American leader in our history. 

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Ed Markey (also D-MA) say they know in the end she’s on their side:

“I’m from Massachusetts, she’s from California. On climate, on abortion, on racial, LGBTQ issues, we are absolutely in agreement on her agenda,” said Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), a leading Senate progressive who has co-sponsored Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and other ambitious liberal policy goals.

“That’s why Elizabeth Warren and I are so passionately campaigning for her and supporting her,” he said, referring to fellow Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D.), who ran against Harris in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.

With the general election only 50 days away, leading progressives on Capitol Hill are too alarmed by the prospect of a second Trump term to complain about Harris’s reinvention as a centrist. They expect she’ll back them up in policy fights if elected president. [Emphasis mine.]

Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders agreed, saying earlier in September, “I don't think she's abandoning her ideals. I think she's trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election.”

"So yes," he added, "her views are not mine, but I do consider her progressive."

Not surprisingly, other Democrats also know where she really stands despite what she says:

Democrats who spoke with The Hill largely echoed Sanders’s comments, saying they are happy for Harris to say what she needs to say to win. In the end, they think if she is elected, she will be a progressive.

As we get closer to November, progressives simply aren’t buying what Harris is saying—they know she’ll be on their side if she ever gets into power.

The sad thing is, they’re probably right, because you can’t believe a word that comes out of the vice president’s mouth.
