Kamala Accused of Breaking Pledge to Not Take “A Dime” from Lobbyists or Corporations
Kamala Accused of Breaking Pledge to Not Take “A Dime” from Lobbyists or Corporations

It’s only been a few days since Democrats anointed the Vice President Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s replacement after he announced that he would be dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Unfortunately for them, Harris has already been caught in a major lie that could derail her campaign.

This comes as Republicans are accusing Harris of lying about Biden’s mental state for years. It’s been clear for quite some time that Biden was declining cognitively. Despite this, Harris and the rest of his administration acted as if nothing was wrong with him.

Now, Harris has been caught in yet another lie. This time, it’s been confirmed that she broke a pledge that she made years ago during her first failed attempt at running for president.

From The Washington Examiner:
On the 2020 campaign trail, as Kamala Harris polled at just 10% to Joe Biden‘s 30% in the Democratic presidential primary, the then-California senator made a pledge to voters.

“Our campaign is not taking a dime from corporate PACs or lobbyists — and that was a very deliberate choice,” Harris, the soon-to-be vice president to President Joe Biden, told supporters in a February 2019 email. “Yes, it means we are leaving money on the table. But that’s ok with me.”

Campaign finance filings and  lobbying disclosures, however, tell a different story: Harris, through her then-presidential campaign and other committees, accepted donations during the 2020 race from both lobbyists and PACs affiliated with corporations. Now, as Harris assumes control over the tens of millions of dollars in Biden’s war chest following his decision not to run for reelection, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is being boosted once more by corporate-funded PACs and K Street, records show.

This just adds more fuel to the idea that Harris is a pathological liar who will do and say anything to get elected. She swore to never take money from corporate PACs or lobbyists, and then proceeded to do just that. Meanwhile, she was simultaneously calling the then-President Donald Trump a liar seemingly every chance she got.

The hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze.

Harris Gets Called Out

Thankfully, Republican lawmakers are finally calling Harris out on her lies after this latest revelation.

More from The Washington Examiner:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a top Trump ally in Congress, told the Washington Examiner Harris “lied when she said she wouldn’t receive corporate PAC money and lobbyist money just like she lied about Joe Biden’s health.” Many other congressional Democrats have swore off corporate money but either continued to take such contributions directly or done so through campaign finance loopholes, the Washington Examiner reported.

Months after Harris said in 2019 she swore off corporate PAC money, her leadership PAC took a $3,000 check in late December from the PAC for the shipping and receiving company UPS. Her 2020 presidential campaign also pocketed $2,800 in August 2020 from the Crowley Maritime Corporation, records show. Both donations were given after Harris dropped out of the race and appear to have been for her to pay down primary debt.

Harris and the rest of the Biden administration need to be held accountable for the countless lies that they’ve told about the president’s mental state. For years, they’ve told the public that Biden has no cognitive issues. They’ve claimed that any rumors about his mental failing were nothing more than rightwing conspiracies.

Unfortunately for them, when it came time for last month’s presidential debate, it was impossible to hide Biden’s cognitive failings any longer. Millions of Americans saw firsthand that Harris and the rest of the Biden administration have been lying to us all for years.

In the end, this latest revelation about Harris breaking her own pledge isn’t really a surprise at all. Most of us have known from the beginning that this woman is a shameless liar.

Americans everywhere should think twice before believing a word that comes out of Kamala Harris’ mouth.
