CHICAGO — Donald Trump’s campaign slammed Vice President Kamala Harris Wednesday for still lacking a policy page on her campaign website — and created one for her as she prepares to deliver her Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech Thursday.
“Kamala Harris has yet to tell voters what her policies are, so we thought we’d help them out. Kamala Harris wants to open the borders, raise taxes, and free criminals,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.
The former president’s campaign directed readers of its press release to the new website kamala2024policies.com for a rundown of some of the Democratic candidate’s more controversial policy stances over the years.
Trump’s campaign said it made the site so people “can view Kamala Harris’ vision for America that includes ending cash bail, opening the border, and defunding police.”
Her policies on the site are listed as including “Fighting to Set Murderers Free” — noting her support for a bail fund during the 2020 protests and riots following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Harris “supported the Minnesota Freedom Fund, helping to bail out now-convicted murderers and violent criminals. One man freed by the bail fund went on to commit murder,” the faux platform says.
Other positions include “Abolish Borders” — citing her record as President Biden’s point person to reduce illegal immigration, which instead surged to new record highs — and “Bring Back the Green New Deal.”
Harris, 59, has backed away from some policies for which she previously advocated — including her 2019 pledges as a Democratic primary candidate to eliminate private health insurance, decriminalize illegal border crossings and ban fracking for oil and natural gas.
Trump allies say that her evolving stances show she’s a political “chameleon” — meaning voters may not know which policies they’re actually voting for in the Nov. 5 election.
The vice president has benefited from a prolonged “honeymoon” phase since Biden, 81, dropped his bid for a second term on July 21 and endorsed her — due in part to the fact that she has not given a single media interview that could throw her off-script, as polls show a tightening race with 78-year-old Trump.
Harris’ campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
