Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) skewered ABC News host Jonathan Karl during an
interview on Sunday over false remarks that he made about Democratic
presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris policy positions.
The remarks on the networks This Week happened when Cotton correctly
pointed out the numerous ways that Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump is different from Harris, who has supported decriminalizing illegal
immigration or giving taxpayer-funded health insurance to illegal aliens or
taking away health insurance on the job for 170 million Americans, banning
gas cars, confiscating firearms.>
What do you mean taking away health insurance? Karl snapped at Cotton.
What are you talking about?
She said when she ran for president that she wants to eliminate private
health insurance on the job of 170 million Americans, Jon, Cotton correctly
noted.
Karl responded by claiming that that position was not her position now.
How do you know thats not her position? How do you know thats not her
position? Cotton pressed.
Karl claimed that she no longer supports the position, which Harris has not
indicated.
She has not said that. She has not said that. She has not said that, Cotton
fired back. Maybe anonymous aides on a Friday night have said that, but the
last thing that she said
Karl cut off Cotton and claimed that Harris was not taking the positions of
the far left of her party.
Shes clearly making an effort to move to the middle, Karl claimed.
Cotton noted that during Karls interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
that Sanders was very disappointed that Harris was trying to hide her
positions.
The American people are totally justified to conclude that Kamala Harris is
a dangerous San Francisco liberal based on what she campaigned on the last
time she ran for president and what this administration has done for the last
four years, he said. Again, you would have thought watching the Democratic
convention last week that the Democrats are not in office, that theyre not
in power, that theyre campaigning against an incumbent Republican, when in
reality shes been part of the failures of the Biden-Harris administration
for four years. And when she campaigned for president in her own right, she
did in fact promise things like decriminalizing illegal immigration, taking
away
Karl again cut Cotton off, claiming that Harris has clearly changed her
positions, which she has not.
No, no, she has not, Cotton fired back. Jon, she has not said.
WATCH:
On #ThisWeek, @JonKarl unaware of Harriss stance against private
health insurance. When @SenTomCotton notes it, Karl: What do you
mean taking away health insurance? What are talking about? Then:
