Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance blasted some of Vice President Kamala Harris’ answers during her CNN interview, saying on Friday morning that “it’s bizarre” she claims to hold the same values while changing her policy positions.
Vance spoke to the hosts of “Fox & Friends” hours after Harris sat down for her first major interview since becoming the Democrats’ de facto nominee more than a month ago. Asked about Harris telling CNN anchor Dana Bash that her “values have not changed,” Vance told voters “not to buy” her claim.
“It’s pretty bizarre, right? So if you have the same values why have you changed your mind on literally every topic that you previously held an opinion on?” Vance asked. “But I think it’s important for us not to buy this. If you look at the way Kamala Harris has governed, she’s actually governed as a far-Left person.”
“She’s just trying to pretend that she’s not far-Left now because, of course, she wants to win the American people’s votes in the next couple months,” Vance added. “But if she does, she’s going to do the same thing she’s been doing for the last few years. She’s going to try to make it harder to get American energy from American territory. She’s going to make it harder for us to drive down the cost of everything from food to housing. She’s going to make it harder for us to enforce our border laws. And she’s going to make more chaos and more instability around the world.”

During her Thursday night pre-recorded interview, Harris was asked, “Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you have made, that you have explained some of here in your policy? Is it because you have more experience now and you have learned more about the information? Is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you’re saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?”
“I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,” Harris said. She then defended her support of the leftist Green New Deal, arguing that through President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden-Harris administration passed similar policies to those proposed in the Green New Deal.
“We have set goals for the United States of America and, by extension, the globe around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as an example. That value has not changed,” she told Bash.
The Harris campaign has said that the vice president’s positions on the major issue of illegal immigration have changed over the years. Harris campaign spokesmen told Fox News on Thursday that the vice president now believes “unauthorized border crossings are illegal.” In 2017, Harris said, “An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.”

While running for president in 2019, Harris said she would push to shut down immigration detention centers on “day one.” Now, the Harris campaign says her position is the same as the Biden-Harris administration, which she claims “prioritize[s] detention and removal for individuals who pose threats to public safety and national security, as well as ensure[s] compliance with immigration proceedings and decisions, including removal.”
“It’s really absurd for Kamala Harris to sit there and say, ‘Well, I don’t really believe in any of the things I told you I believe three years ago,’” Vance said. “She has governed as a person who believes those things, and unfortunately, the American people are far [worse] off because of it.”
