Ted Cruz Slams Harris Over Value Change

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’s “scripted” interview with CNN this week but acknowledged that she was truthful about one thing: her claim that her “values have not changed.”

Cruz made these comments during an episode of his “Verdict” podcast while discussing the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee’s first interview, which she did not conduct alone.

“Verdict” co-host Ben Ferguson referred to Harris as “comrade Kamala” and accused her of advocating for “a 70% to 80% tax rate, no cash bail, gun confiscation, zero fracking, [and] a ban on gasoline-powered cars.”

Cruz suggested that Harris’s statement about her values not changing was a campaign strategy designed to serve as her “lead talking point on any flip-flop that she got pressed” about.

“And actually, at some level, that’s the truest statement she made the entire interview because Kamala Harris is a radical leftist,” he said. “She is extreme. And she still believes all this stuff. And you know what? It’s the reason why nobody on the Left is unhappy that she’s suddenly running away from her positions because they know she’s lying. Let’s be clear. Border Czar Kamala Harris was in charge of this invasion. It happened on her watch, and if, God forbid, she becomes president, it will get worse. And everyone gets the joke. All the leftists know she still believes all this stuff. She just has to say some more conservative things in the campaign to fool the gullible voters, but none of her radical supporters believe for a moment she’s right.”

Kamala Harris's new talking point for her flip flops is: "My values have not changed."

That's the truest statement she's said. She is still committed to her radical leftist ideas like supporting an 80% tax rate, abolishing ICE, and the Green New Deal.https://t.co/spnPG8fnz1 pic.twitter.com/6E4snR7AEh

The GOP senator maintains that the vice president’s values have not changed, just as she claimed in her first sit-down interview since becoming the Democratic Party nominee.

“Her values have not changed,” he added. “She still believes every word of that montage, and God forbid, if she’s in the Oval Office, she’ll do all of that and more. Unlike Joe Biden. Joe Biden is a senile puppet. Kamala Harris is a true believer.”
