KAMALA’S “VALUES” – After 39 days of silence, Kamala Harris finally sat down with CNN in a joint interview. It was a disaster for Kamala.

One of the biggest takeaways? Kamala said her values "have not changed" three separate times Translation: She still believes in mass amnesty for millions of unvetted illegals, ending cash bail, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, raising money to bail violent criminals out of jail, banning fracking, abolishing private health insurance, banning gas-powered vehicles, and so much more.

President Trump put it best:

In case you missed Kamala’s often incoherent ramblings mixed with a huge number of flat-out lies, Team Trump has you covered with the lowlights from her interview.

• Kamala bizarrely lied about her support for a fracking ban. She has repeatedly endorsed a ban on fracking. It's literally on tape.
• Kamala said she's “proud” of bringing inflation “down” to a higher level than it was when she took office. Inflation was 1.4% when President Trump left office, and now we have the worst inflation crisis in more than three decades.
• Kamala refused to address her support for decriminalizing illegal border crossings. Her silence confirmed what we already knew: yes, she supports decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
• Kamala claimed presiding over a record number of illegal border crossings “actually resulted in a number of benefits.” She then continued to profess support for a bill to grant illegal aliens a fast-track to citizenship, while doing nothing to address the millions of illegal aliens she released into the country.
• Kamala claimed one of her “highest priorities” is to “strengthen and support the middle class.” Kamala is in office right now, and the middle class are suffering more than ever.
• Kamala insisted “Bidenomics” is a success. “Bidenomics” has cost the average American family an extra $28,000 paying for the increased cost of living.
• Kamala begrudgingly acknowledged “prices are too high” under her tenure. She attempted to blame President Trump for the economic woes of her own administration – despite the fact that most Americans want the Trump economy back.
• Kamala said she has no regrets about covering up Biden's cognitive decline. She lied to the American people as she perpetuated a massive, wide-reaching fraud – until it was no longer tenable.
• Timothy Walz refused to address the stolen valor in which he is currently embroiled. Tellingly, Stolen Valor Walz didn't deny it, either.
• Timothy Walz was called out for lying about using IVF and lying about his arrest for drunk and reckless driving. He completely – and predictably – avoided the question.

Yikes. The fact that a nominee for president of the United States of America doing any interview is news at all shows the depths to which Kamala has gone to avoid answering questions. Given her disastrous performance, it’s no wonder why.

COVERING IVF – While Kamala Harris was lying and stumbling her way through an interview on CNN, President Trump was presenting his vision to Make America Great Again.

He discussed his economic plan to put American workers first. His goal is simple as it is profound: “Workers like you in communities like this should be able to afford a nice house, a new car, and a growing family on a single income."

Yesterday, President Trump also announced a major new policy proposal: “I am announcing today that under the Trump administration, your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment.”

Kamala Harris has been lying about President Trump’s position on IVF for months. Her dishonesty knows no bounds. President Trump has a vision to help American families. All Kamala has are lies.

THAT NOT DISCUSSED – During her joint interview on CNN, Kamala spoke for just over 16 minutes and didn’t even address the crime crisis in this nation. She spent a mere 3 minutes and 25 seconds talking about the economy and 2 minutes and 36 seconds talking about immigration. 

Here are all the things Kamala Harris failed to address with CNN:

• Kamala’s support for ending cash bail for violent criminals.
• Kamala’s fundraising for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which freed rioters.
• Kamala’s tie-breaking vote for American Rescue Plan, which even liberal economists say fueled inflation.
• Kamala’s support for defunding the police.
• Kamala’s comments comparing policing to slavery.
• Kamala’s support for a socialist takeover of our healthcare system.
• Kamala’s support for closing immigration detention centers and freeing thousands of criminals into American neighborhoods.
• Kamala saying we need to start “from scratch” with ICE and comparing ICE officers to the KKK.

Kamala has a dangerously liberal record over a mile long. She has a lot more questions she needs to answer.

KAMALA DOUBLES DOWN ON KAMALANOMICS – If Kamala has been desperately trying to separate herself from her own Kamalanomics record, yesterday’s interview proved that dishonest effort is a failure.

During the interview, Kamala insisted the Harris-Biden administration has done “good work” on the economy.

Let’s look at the facts:

• Prices have risen by 20.2 percent since Kamala took office.
• Groceries prices are up 21.6 percent, rent costs are up 22 percent, and electricity prices are up 31.7 percent since Kamala took office.
• Americans have seen an almost 4 percent pay cut under Kamala; under President Trump, real average weekly wages rose 8.2 percent.
• Energy prices have soared almost 30 percent under Kamala, 13 times faster than the previous seven years.
• To afford a median-priced home, Americans would now need an annual income of over $110,000, a nearly 50 percent increase over the last four years.
• Household debt is at a record $17.69 trillion while credit debt has exceeded $1 trillion.
• Seriously overdue credit card debt is at its highest level in more than a decade.

And if that weren’t bad enough, she stood by her tie-breaking vote that delivered price increases and tax hikes. Even liberal economists blame her spending for inflation.

“MY VALUES HAVEN’T CHANGED” – Kamala says her values “haven’t changed.” Here’s what that means. Watch the video here.

KAMALA VS. FRACKING – In Kamala’s own words, there’s “no question” that she would ban fracking. Watch the video here.

THE REVIEWS ARE IN – The reviews are in on Kamala Harris and Timothy Walz’s sit down with CNN. They did terribly. Team Trump Rapid Response has the receipts.

Here’s what they’re saying:

• “Harris keeps saying ‘my values haven’t changed’ while not explaining why her positions have changed.” (Yamiche Alcindor, NBC News)
• “Kamala Harris showed her tendency toward winding answers ... Thursday’s interview was a reminder that unscripted, she can sometimes deliver discursive answers that ramble and zigzag.” (Reid Epstein, The New York Times)
• “I don't think she moved the ball that much forward.” (David Axelrod, former Obama senior advisor)
• “‘People are ready for a new way forward,’ is an interesting comment from Kamala Harris, the sitting vice president.” (Matt Viser, The Washington Post)
• “I don't think there’s a policy separation that they’ve created with Biden.” (Astead Herndon, The New York Times)
• “There's some cleaning up to do.” (Domenico Montanaro, NPR)
• “Kamala Harris still managed to fumble even this cozy chat.” (Rozina Sabur, The Telegraph)
• “She offered no remorse, no regrets, no introspection about anything they’ve done.” (Scott Jennings, CNN)
• “Kamala Harris was asked a specific question about what she would do on Day 1 if elected as POTUS. Her answer was so vague that it was essentially worthless.” (Frank Luntz, pollster)
• “I didn't hear anything that helps me get a clearer [idea about] what a Harris administration would attempt to do. And I have no idea whatsoever on how a Harris presidency would differ from a Biden presidency.” (Grant Reeher, Syracuse University)
• “Walz let off hook for claiming he’d carried weapons in a war zone. Harris let off hook on her part in cover up of Biden’s cognitive decline. @CNN giving masters class on how not to hold politicians to account.” (Andrew Neil, The Daily Mail)
• “Only two words come to mind: Dishonest. Trainwreckalicious.” (Joe Concha, Fox News)
• “Maybe she didn't score a touchdown.” (Ashley Allison, former Obama White House staffer)
• “She did not actually make clear at a 2020 debate that she had changed her previous support for a fracking ban.” (Daniel Dale, CNN)

What are the odds Kamala's handlers will let her do another interview? Will she bail on the debate after such a humiliating performance? Only time will tell.
