Since Vice President Kamala Harris was catapulted to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket when President Joe Biden was forced out of his 2024 campaign, her leftist allies in the media have gone above and beyond to scrub her far-left record -- in addition to sanitizing her many failures as a 2020 presidential candidate.
PolitiFact, a major "fact checker," has been one of Harris' greatest champions and advocates. They've explained away positions she still holds in hopes normal, moderate voters will take the bait and think she's changed -- that she isn't a controlling government leftist after all.
In 2019, Kamala Harris spoke in favor of “mandatory” programs to buy back assault weapons. As vice president, Harris has focused on other gun measures. She has not called for confiscating guns broadly. https://t.co/OypfHya4Ze

Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago that Harris “wants to defund the police.” In 2020, Harris called for "reimagining" public safety, but didn’t explicitly call for shuttering police departments. https://t.co/WP3sbfRzEk

Claim: Kamala supports mandatory gun buybacks
Evidence: Video of Kamala calling for mandatory buybacks
Politifact: Mostly False that she supports mandatory buybacks
Reason: “She’s focused on other things” https://t.co/JGzCBcwOmw

Meanwhile, on the campaign trail Harris continues to claim she will fix a number of issues -- conveniently ignoring the fact that she's been part of the Biden administration for four years.
The entire Kamala Harris campaign falls apart when faced with three simple questions:

1) Why haven’t you fixed anything in the last 3 years?
2) Why is everything worse than it was when you got to the White House?
3) Name one substantive accomplishment from your last 20 years. https://t.co/MeeDX4JpTl
