It’s no surprise that Kamala Harris’s radical positions came under fire during the September 10th debate against Donald Trump. Trump, in his signature style, rattled off a list of her extreme policies—from supporting abortion with no restrictions to bailing out rioters, all the way to opposing fracking.
But the one statement that really set the media ablaze was Trump’s claim that Harris supported taxpayer-funded gender-affirming surgeries for illegal immigrants in custody. Predictably, the mainstream media rushed to “fact-check” him and brand the claim as false or misleading.
But here’s the kicker: It turns out Trump was absolutely right.
And the irony? Even the New York Times had to admit it. Yep, in their attempt to fact-check Trump, they ended up confirming what he said, making liberals scramble to cover up the fact that they didn’t even know their own candidate’s positions.
Kamala’s Radical Policies Exposed
During the debate, Trump did what he does best—cutting through the fluff and bringing attention to Harris’s far-left policies that most Americans wouldn’t support if they knew about them. Among these was Harris’s shocking stance on gender-affirming care for illegal immigrants in prison.
From Fox News:
Trump took aim at his progressive rival after CNN reported that Harris supported taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants who are in custody, according to a 2019 ACLU questionnaire she filled out as a presidential candidate.“Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison,” Trump said during Tuesday’s presidential debate.
Now, let’s be real. Who exactly is asking for taxpayer dollars to fund surgeries for illegal immigrants in prison?
Apparently, Kamala Harris is. And Trump wasn’t afraid to call her out for it. Of course, the media immediately jumped on the attack, calling his claim misleading, out of context, and just plain wrong. But here’s the thing—they didn’t bother to do their homework before calling him a liar.
Media Scrambles to “Fact-Check” Trump
As soon as Trump made the claim about Harris, the liberal media rushed to defend her, as they always do. They pulled out their trusty “fact-checkers,” all eager to discredit Trump and paint him as someone who’s making up outlandish claims. But there was one little problem: Harris actually did support this ridiculous policy, and they couldn’t cover it up for long.
From Fox News:
The New York Times admitted an explosive attack against Vice President Kamala Harris was “basically true” after running a fact-check saying former President Trump’s claim “needs context.”Times health reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg provided a fact-check as part of the paper’s live coverage of the debate that ruled Trump’s claim “needs context.” Except the context her fact-check provided just further confirmed Trump’s claim.
You can almost hear the collective wailing from the New York Times newsroom. They wanted to run with the narrative that Trump was lying. Instead, they had to awkwardly admit that Trump was right all along.
How embarrassing must that have been for them? Even in their “fact-check,” they ended up proving Trump’s point. Turns out Harris did respond to a 2019 ACLU questionnaire where she clearly supported taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals in prison and immigration detention centers.
The Left Doesn’t Even Know Their Own Positions
The most laughable part of this entire situation is that the media, and apparently even some Democrats, didn’t realize that Harris had publicly backed such an outrageous policy. It’s like they’re so used to covering up for their candidates that they forget to read the fine print on their own platforms. In this case, they were caught red-handed trying to discredit Trump without knowing that Harris had, indeed, backed this radical policy in 2019.
This goes to show just how out of touch the Left is with the American people. It’s no wonder they tried to cover it up. The average American taxpayer—already struggling with inflation, crime, and open borders—probably isn’t thrilled about Kamala wanting their hard-earned dollars to go toward surgeries for illegal immigrants in prison. Harris and her team clearly hoped to keep that under wraps, but Trump wasn’t going to let them.
Harris’s Radical Agenda Continues to Hurt Her
It’s not just this one issue that paints Harris as radically out of touch. Her entire platform is a smorgasbord of extreme left-wing policies that are a far cry from what most Americans want. Whether it’s her stance on defunding the police, supporting the Green New Deal, or embracing open borders, Harris represents the far-left fringe of the Democratic Party. This policy of funding gender-affirming surgeries for illegal immigrants is just the latest example of how disconnected she is from reality.
And if the media thinks they can keep bailing her out with sloppy fact-checks, they’re in for a rude awakening. The American people are paying attention, and they’re not as easily fooled as the media would like to believe. Harris can try to dodge and deflect, but when even the New York Times admits Trump is right, you know something is seriously wrong.
What This Means for 2024
As we barrel toward Election Day, moments like this will only strengthen Trump’s position. Voters see through the media’s bias, and they recognize when the left tries to cover up their own extreme policies. Trump, on the other hand, isn’t afraid to call out the radical agenda of Harris and the Democrats, even when it draws the ire of the liberal press.
This latest debate moment has done more damage to Harris’s credibility than her team would like to admit. The more the American people learn about her radical positions, the harder it will be for her to appeal to moderate and swing voters. Meanwhile, Trump’s straight-shooting style continues to resonate with those who are fed up with the left’s attempts to hide their true agenda.
Key Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris’s support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants was exposed by Trump in the debate.
- The New York Times admitted Trump’s claim was “basically true,” despite their initial attempt to discredit him.
- Harris’s radical policies continue to alienate voters, making 2024 a tough road for her campaign.
