Tom Cotton Scorches ABC News’ Jon Karl Over Claims About Kamala Harris
SUMMARY
During an interview on ABC's "This Week," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) clashed with host Jonathan Karl over Vice President Kamala Harris's policy positions. Cotton argued that Harris had previously supported policies like decriminalizing illegal immigration, giving taxpayer-funded health insurance to illegal immigrants, and eliminating private health insurance, impacting 170 million Americans. Karl challenged Cotton, claiming that Harris no longer holds these positions, prompting Cotton to demand evidence of such a change. "How do you know that’s not her position?" Cotton pressed, highlighting that Harris had not publicly reversed her stance. Karl insisted Harris is moving towards the political center, which Cotton refuted, pointing out that even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had criticized Harris for hiding her positions. Cotton concluded that Harris remains aligned with the far left based on her past campaign promises and the Biden-Harris administration’s actions.
