From Fox News: Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down in her first interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket that she would not ban fracking if elected, claiming she made “clear” where she stood on fracking during the 2020 election.
“No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking,” Harris said.
Before Harris dropped her bid for president in 2019 and joined President Biden’s ticket, she said in a CNN town hall “there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking” on her first day in office.
“And starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, right?” she continued. “And then there has to be legislation, but, yes, that’s something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue and to your point we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities.”

Sharing a video clip of Harris’s old comment, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) declared, “So, either Kamala Harris can’t even keep her policies straight or she just blatantly lied to the American public. I don’t know which is worse.”
