So challenging the status quo, where, for example, we don't " neutralize" people over 40, just to pick a number, is "fantastic"?
Ms. McCain asked:
Ms. McCain asked:
I wanted to ask you: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the new darling of the party; she officially has more Twitter followers that Nancy Pelosi; she was on “60 Minutes” this weekend proudly calling herself a radical, and she’s promoting policies like saying that every single carbon emission in the country, every car, should be eliminated in the next eleven years; everything from a 70 to 80% tax rate. Do you agree that she could possibly, in this ideology of the socialist left, could splinter your party?Harris, who is now accommodating the hard-left positions of the socialists of her party in order to win votes answered:
No, you know, I think that she is challenging the status quo; I think that’s fantastic. (applause and cheering) That, you know, I used to teach before, especially before in the last few years. And the thing that I always loved about teaching was when you teach it requires you to defend the premise and it requires you to reexamine the premise and question, is it still relevant? Is it, is it, does it have impact? Does it have meaning? And I think that she is introducing bold ideas that should be discussed. And I think it’s good for the party and frankly I think it’s good for the country. Let’s look at the bold ideas, and I’m eager that we have those discussions and when we are able to defend the status quo then do it, and if there’s not merit to that then let’s explore new ideas.Except when anyone actually tries to discuss her bold ideas, she claims that she's being attacked, or avoids actual answers to the questions, or just walks away.
Even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, no conservative himself, explained on CNBC’s “ Squawk on the Street” on Monday, spoke about raising the tax rates to 70%. He said:
“If you’re willing to take a significant drop in economic activity, I would suggest that … Maybe I better make myself clear. I think it would be a terrible mistake.”
Harris has taken immoral or unconstitutional leftist positions before; she supported an illegal immigrant’s bid for a law license as well as submitted a brief in the Supreme Court supporting public universities considering race in admissions.
Harris has also supported Medicare-for-all and released a plan by which public colleges and universities would be free for students whose families make less than $140,000 a year, putting a serious tax burden on others.
The left has also criticized Harris for not being leftish enough and must be concerned about not angering Occasionally Coherent Cortez's supporters.
As McClatchy wrote in August 2017:
As McClatchy wrote in August 2017:
“ …some left-wing leaders and think-piece writers spent the summer dissecting the California senator’s record — often harshly. Even a social-media meme took aim, questioning Harris’ tenure as attorney general and derisively referring to her as a ‘centrist corncob.’”And that doesn't even mention the sexual misconduct that is alleged to have occurred in her office as California attorney general that she denies knowing about at the time.
If she was unaware of what was going on in her office as attorney general, will she know what's going on in her administration as president? I don't think so.
It's a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.
