So let me take you thru this sort of saga so right here’s what she stated at a CNN local weather city corridor in 2019 with regards to a fracking ban.”
At a 2019 city corridor an viewers member requested, “Will you decide to implementing a federal ban on fracking your first day in workplace, including america, the listing of nations have banned this devastating apply.”
Harris stated, “There’s no query I’m in favor of banning fracking sure.”
Dale stated, “That was fairly clear so she ended her 2020 presidential run in December 2019. The one debate she participated in in 2020 was the final election debate with then-vice president Mike Pence. I went over the transcript of that debate tonight. Nowhere in there does she clarify that she had deserted her earlier assist for a fracking ban. Moderately, she repeated that Joe Biden, the pinnacle of the Democratic ticket on the time, would himself not ban fracking. Hearken to what she truly stated in a 2020.”
On the 2020 vice presidential debate, Harris stated, “Joe Biden is not going to ban fracking, he has been very clear about that I’ll repeat and the American individuals now that Joe Biden is not going to ban fracking.”

I definitely didn’t hear anyplace in there Kamala Harris saying she personally had deserted her 2019 view moderately she was talking for Joe Biden.”
