FACT CHECKING HARRIS

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 13, 2024

     A CONSOLATION TO SOME TRUMP SUPPORTERS MIGHT BE THAT RONALD REAGAN WAS DEEMED TO HAVE LOST HIS FIRST DEBATE WITH WALTER MONDALE IN 1984, BUT CAME ROARING BACK IN THE SECOND DEBATE. WE KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT.

     WHILE LIBERALS AND THE TWO DEBATE CO-HOSTS WERE BUSY FACT-CHECKING DONALD TRUMP, THEY IGNORED KAMALA HARRIS’ MANY MISSTATEMENTS. THANKFULLY, THE NEW YORK POST DIDN’T.

     HARRIS CLAIMED “THERE IS NOT ONE MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WHO IS ON ACTIVE DUTY IN A COMBAT ZONE IN ANY WAR ZONE AROUND THE WORLD.”

FACT CHECK: “OUR TROOPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ARE INA COMBAT ZONE, UNDER ATTACK FROM IRAN AND ITS PROXIES. THREE WERE KILLED IN JANUARY AND OTHERS WOUNDED.

     HARRIS LIED ABOUT THE PROJECT 2025 PLAN WHICH TRUMP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH.

     SHE MISSTATED HER POSITION ON FRACKING AND ON SURGERY FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE, PAID FOR BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  ON FRACKING SHE CLAIMED IT WAS ALLOWED UNDER THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT (WHICH BY THE WAY FUELED INFLATION), BUT THAT WAS PART OF A LARGER PACKAGE OF LEFT-WING PROGRAMS.

AND SO IT WENT. OR DIDN’T. CHECKOUT MORE AT NYPOST.COM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
