Further statements are circulating exposing Vice President Kamala Harris' totalitarian plans and bizarre ideas.
The latest updates from the Democratic presidential candidate include talk of confiscating guns from law-abiding Americans, previous plans to eliminate private health insurance and the bizarre claim that the coronavirus has killed more than 220 million Americans.
The first vice president to believe that computer data is stored in the air above people's heads, Harris is also known for her flawed understanding of inflation and her frequent desire to redistribute wealth.
The name of her ideology is: Kamnism.
Kamala takes away the gun
“The problem is that Congress doesn't have the courage to act on gun control,” Harris said during her first presidential campaign in 2019. “That's why I've said from the beginning that it's my policy agenda to get Congress to act, and if Congress doesn't act within the first 100 days of my administration, I'm going to take executive action, because we need action.”
As the legislative arm of the National Rifle Association (NRA) has pointed out, Harris supports a mandatory buyback program to confiscate any guns or rifles that she and her Second Amendment opponents don't like. She supports a totalitarian measure passed by the Australian Parliament in 1996.
“Harris has repeatedly supported banning and confiscation of commonly owned semi-automatic rifles, including the AR-15, America's most popular rifle,” the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) reported in July.
She said confiscation through buybacks is a “good idea,” “we need to work out the details… but we need to get guns off the streets.”
On September 16, 2019, she told left-leaning late-night talk show Jimmy Fallon that she “believes in share buybacks” and that “a stock buyback program is a good idea,” according to the NRA-ILA.
She said the same thing in October of that year. And during a meeting with Australia's prime minister last year, Harris praised the country's gun control laws.
“And I want to be very clear, as our friends in Australia have shown, it doesn't have to be this way,” she said of gun violence.
To be clear, the buyback plan would mean outright confiscation, likely by force, of anyone who refuses to surrender their firearms to Harris' military police, the NRA-ILA noted.
In 1996, Australia introduced a near-total ban on civilian ownership of semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. To coincide with this new regulation, the government introduced a mandatory “buy-back” confiscation system, where gun owners were warned that they would have to surrender their newly banned guns to the government for a set price. This system did not exclude ownership of guns owned before the new regulations, so the ban and “buy-back” amounted to confiscation of the guns.
220 million people die from virus without private health insurance
Harris' previous health care plan was just as bad as her gun confiscation plan.
While Medicare for All (MFA) is now “not on her agenda,” it was once exactly that, Politico reports. She was a co-sponsor of the MFA bill with socialist and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. And during a 2019 town hall, she told CNN's Jake Tapper that even if she liked her health insurance plan, she couldn't keep it.
When Tapper asked if the MFA would eliminate private health insurance, Harris clarified.
Well, listen. The idea is to make health care accessible to everyone. You avoid going through insurance companies, getting approvals, paperwork, and all the delays that come with that. Who hasn't been in a situation where they've had to wait for approval. Maybe their doctor says, “I don't know if your insurance company will cover this.” Let's eliminate all of that. Let's go ahead.
But Medicare itself doesn't cover all medical procedures — others require approval — and there's nothing to stop her from putting the MFA back on the table.
Harris' inability to understand basic math may be why she supports the MFA.
She has repeatedly argued that the coronavirus has killed more than 200 million Americans — 67% of the population.
“We're in the midst of a public health crisis, a crisis caused by this pandemic, that has seen more than 220 million Americans die over the past few months,” she said in North Carolina in October 2020.
That same month, in Ohio, she made another absurd claim.
We are in the midst of a public health epidemic that has claimed the lives of more than 220 million Americans over the past few months.
Harris's vague understanding of demographics is consistent with his misunderstanding of how cloud storage works: He believes computer data floats in the air.
So you no longer have to store those personal files in a locked file cabinet in the basement of your home.
It's on your laptop, it's on this cloud above us, right? It's not in a physical location anymore.
Thankfully, Harris' misunderstanding of modern technology is unlikely to harm the country in and of itself.
Redistributionists
But her left-wing views may have led many mainstream commentators to label her a communist. Like other leftists, Harris believes that wealth is “distributed,” not earned; therefore, wealth must be redistributed in the name of “fairness.”
She believes Americans should have “the goal that everybody should end up in the same place,” “and some people might need a fairer share because we didn't start in the same place.”
She also said, “We have to understand that we're fighting for equality and provide resources based on equity, but we also have to understand that not everyone is starting from the same place and fight for equity.”
“There's a big difference between equality and fairness,” she believes.
Equality often suggests that everyone should get the same thing. This assumes that everyone started from the same place, which contrasts with fairness. Fairness means that everyone will end up in the same place. And if we understand that not everyone started from the same place, we can understand that some people need more, and we'll all end up in the same place. Right?
Harris also supports price controls to curb inflation, which she believes is caused by companies raising prices. Another factor, she says, is the “supply chain.”
In fact, inflation is the result of an expansion of the money supply.
