CNN Pundit Declares Kamala An ‘Honorary Republican’ After More Flip-Flops

 CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings labeled Vice President Kamala Harris — the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, even if by default — an “honorary Republican” in light of her constantly “evolving” policy positions.

In the past several weeks, Harris has systematically attempted to abandon her own radically liberal positions — the ones she proudly touted during her ill-fated 2019 run for the presidency — by having low-level aides leak her walk-backs and flip-flops to friendly mainstream media outlets. Her campaign surrogates have done everything they could to put distance between Harris and her current boss, President Joe Biden. In addition, she’s adopted several key policies being touted by her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump.

 

Harris’ final move, just ahead of the debate, was to finally add a policy tab to her campaign’s website — but despite repeated efforts to paint herself as a change agent who wouldn’t simply be a repeat of the administration in which she was still serving as Vice President — critics noted that much of the content under the policy tab had been copied and pasted from Biden’s campaign site.

Jennings addressed Harris’ efforts during a panel discussion hosted by anchor Abby Phillip, pointing out the clear lurch to the right that Harris was at least claiming to embody.

“Here’s my nightcap,” he began. “I was scrolling through the debate news today and I read headlines that say thing like, ‘Why Kamala Harris has embraced America’s oil boom,’ ‘Harris embraces U.S. fossil fuels,’ ‘Harris: frack on, my dudes,’ ‘Harris embraces oil and gas on debate stage,’ and then I heard her say she’s a gun owner.”

“And so, I know this is gonna, like, break your heart, I just want to once again welcome Kama — we’ve got a Democrat who’s out here trying to pump oil and buy guns,” Jennings continued. “And I don’t know if she means it or not, but it is a step in the right direction when a national Democrat can embrace fossil fuels and gun ownership at the same time. Welcome Kamala Harris, honorary Republican of the night.”
