A surprising gust of honesty seems to have swept through CNN, at least for a moment. On a recent episode of “Erin Burnett OutFront,” viewers witnessed a rare instance where the network dared to illuminate the startling past of Vice President Kamala Harris, highlighting positions that many might consider extreme even by today’s Democrat standards. The revelation came from Andrew Kaczynski, a senior editor at CNN’s KFile, and the tone was nothing short of incredulous.
Burnett’s astonishment reached new heights as Kaczynski detailed Harris’s past radical positions on immigration and drug policy, a stark contrast to her current rhetoric. In an age where the left is quick to scrub their histories for a more palatable narrative, Harris’s previous endorsement of slashing Immigration and Customs Enforcement funding landed like a lead balloon. The segment displayed just how far removed some of these Democrats are from the emerging mainstream sentiment, noting that citizens deserve to be aware of the drastic evolution—or perhaps devolution—of their leaders’ stances.

YOU supporters of Kamala should pay close attention to what she’s about. We are all affected by the person in the White House!…

During this eye-opening exchange, Kaczynski laid bare the alarming details from a 2019 ACLU questionnaire, where Harris bizarrely pledged to end immigrant detention and support taxpayer-funded gender surgeries for detained migrants. It’s enough to make any sane American pause and wonder what planet these politicians are orbiting. Burnett captured the collective disbelief with her genuinely shocked reaction, questioning how one could even conceive such policies. It’s almost as if she stumbled across a quirky piece of trivia rather than the foundation for a major political platform.
In yet another eyebrow-raising revelation, Kaczynski highlighted Harris’s enthusiastic support for decriminalizing the use of all personal drugs—fentanyl, crack, and all. This reckless approach not only raises questions about public health but also sends a clear message about the stark divide between the left’s policies and the reality that Americans face on the ground. The Harris campaign’s attempts at damage control were laughably ineffective. When pressed for clarity, they could only respond with generic platitudes, leaving the public to wonder where the vice president actually stands today.
Of course, conservative circles have long been aware of Harris’s radical proposals, as those statements have been effectively wielded in campaign ads across the nation. The vice president’s efforts to reinvent herself through a “highly choreographed” media pivot only highlight how out of touch the Democrats have grown with the average voter. Her mysterious public appearances have made her a nearly elusive figure, relying heavily on a complicit media to gloss over her past.
However, CNN’s brief flirtation with transparency might signal a shift—or at least an attempt to distance itself from the relentless Democrat machine. If nothing else, it holds a mirror up to the abhorrent ideas some in the party embrace, exposing the chasm between their radical past and the cautious rhetoric they now offer. If CNN continues down this path, it might just uncover more inconvenient truths about the Democrats ahead of the 2024 campaign.
