Kamala Harris a moderate? Not even close.

,n case you haYen¶t no ticed, there is a not so sub tle campaign aIoot to paint 6en. .amala +arris, ' &a liI., as a centrist ± an eIIort that e[poses the leIt¶s strat egy to Iool the $merican people into giY ing them political power in NoYem ber.

$Iter presump tiYe 'emocratic presidential nom inee -oe %iden announced +ar ris as his running mate, the New

No, she doesn¶t. +ar ris was the ³most liberal compared to all senators´ in according to *oY Track, the nonpartisan goYernment transparency watchdog ± to the leIt oI eYen her democratic social ist colleague, 6en. %ernie 6anders, , 9t. +arris wasn¶t ³pragmatic´ either. *oY Track Iound she ³Moined bi partisan bills the least oIten compared to 6enate 'emo crats.´ $ccording to 0an hattan ,nstitute budget e[ pert %rian Riedl, +arris has proposed a mind numbing $ trillion in new spend ing oYer the ne[t decade. 6he supports the econom ically ruinous *reen New 'eal, 0edicare Ior all and Iree ta[payer Iunded health care Ior undocumented im migrants. 6he is also an abortion ]ealot who has suggested that a IaithIul &atholic who belongs to the .nights oI &olumbus is unIit to serYe as a Iederal Mudge. 6he opposes deporta tion oI those who illegally enter the 8nited 6tates and once compared ,mmigra tion and &ustoms (nIorce ment agents to the .u .lu[ .lan.

,I +arris really were a moderate, progressiYes would be up in arms oYer her choice. %ut they are not. /eItists understand that to win in NoYember, they must be able to peel away reluctant Trump Yot ers in key swing states who are uncomIortable with the leItward lurch oI today¶s 'emocratic 3arty. These Yoters need to belieYe that a %iden +arris adminis tration will be centrist and reasonable, so they can giYe themselYes permission to deIect and Yote 'emocrats into power. 6o progressiYes and their allies in the main stream media haYe tried to portray %iden¶s choice oI +arris as another e[ample oI how he has kept the leIt at arm¶s length.

3rogressiYes know it is a lie. &ongressional 3rogres siYe &aucus co chair Rep. 3ramila -ayapal, ' :ash., recently said the leIt need not worry about %iden¶s moderate Yeneer because ³he is moYable.´ $s she told ³The 'aily 6how´ host TreYor Noah, ³$s soon as we get him in the :hite +ouse, and eYen be Iore with these task Iorces that we had, we were able to signiIicantly push -oe %iden to do things that he hadn¶t signed on to beIore.´

The leIt sees %iden as their Tro Man horse. They want Yoters to look at his inoIIensiYe, moderate, biparti san e[terior, and de cide it is saIe to let him in side the :hite +ouse gates. %ut as soon as they do, an army oI socialists will rush out ± led by 6anders, 6en. (li]abeth :arren, ' 0ass., and Rep. $le[andria Oca sio &orte], ' N.<. ± to im pose a radical progressiYe agenda on $merica.

They haYe eYery reason to belieYe that will happen, because %iden has already giYen in to their demands. )or more than years, %iden supported the +yde $mendment, which bars Iederal Iunding Ior abor tions, eYen writing a con stituent to say, ³Those oI us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay Ior them.´ :hen he re iterated his support Ior the +yde $mendment last year during the presidential pri maries, he was chastised by none other than +arris, who declared, ³No woman¶s ac cess to reproductiYe health care should be based on how much money she has. :e must repeal the +yde $mendment.´ %iden Tuick ly surrendered to +arris and the party¶s pro abortion radicals.

,I %iden will capitulate to his party¶s leIt wing on a Iundamental moral Tuestion like abortion, what makes anyone think he won¶t do the same when it comes to 0edicare Ior all or the *reen New 'eal" 0ost candidates tack to the cen ter aIter securing their par ty¶s nomination, but %iden has already gone to the leIt, Iorging a ³unity platIorm´ with 6anders. The platIorm was a wink and a nod to democratic socialists ± em bracing a number oI their demands and promising to ³study´ others once %iden is in the :hite +ouse.

The leIt got the mes sage Once the election is oYer, %iden will moYe eYen Iurther in their direction. %esides, progressiYes in &ongress belieYe that they will be setting the agenda anyway, and %iden¶s Mob will be to autopen whateY er they pass and put on his desk. :hat is he going to do, stand with Republicans and Yeto their legislation" 3rogressiYes are more than comIortable spreading the myth oI moderation, while they hide inside the belly oI the 'emocratic ticket wait ing Ior Yoters to open the :hite +ouse gates.
