Harris Affirms Support For Fracking, ‘Consequences’ For Border Crossers
HuffPost
"As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking,” Vice President Kamala Harris said.
In her first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris affirmed her support for fracking and a tough stance on border security, including “consequences” for people who cross the U.S. border without authorization.
The left-wing positions Harris took as a presidential candidate in 2019, which her campaign has said she no longer holds, have already been the focus of scrutiny, and CNN’s Dana Bash made sure to press Harris on those points.
Bash asked Harris to confirm what her aides have already said: that she no longer supports banning the natural gas extraction method known as “fracking.”
“I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 ― that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking,” Harris responded, referencing her debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence once she was President Joe Biden’s running mate.
Asked to explain her change of heart, Harris did not go into details, but said simply she no longer sees fracking as incompatible with the country’s climate and renewable energy goals.
