Vice President Kamala Harris lied about her radicalism on energy in Tuesday night’s debate with former President Donald Trump.
When the moderators with ABC asked Harris the rare skeptical question about her policy reversals, Harris said she “made that very clear in 2020: I will not ban fracking.”
“I have not banned fracking as vice president of the United States, and in fact, I was the tie-breaking vote on the ‘Inflation Reduction’ Act, which opened new leases for fracking,” she said.
Even CNN’s resident “fact-checker” called the vice president’s comment on fracking a lie, even if it was pedantic. “Harris did not actually make clear in 2020 that *she* wouldn’t ban fracking as president,” wrote the network’s Daniel Dale on X. “In the comments she’s citing, from her debate with Pence, she just repeated that *Joe Biden* wouldn’t ban fracking.”Vice President Harris: My values have not changed. pic.twitter.com/sxsKHZ5k7Y
