Has Kamala Harris backtracked on major issue she once called a ‘medieval vanity project’ and a ‘waste of taxpayer money’?

Via DAILYMAIL:

Kamala Harris has repeatedly said she would shut down Donald Trump‘s border wall project and once called it a ‘medieval vanity project’ and a ‘waste of taxpayer’.

But now that she is the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has allegedly and suddenly vowed to sign a bill that would allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to continue building a wall along the southern border, according to a report.

Materials for Trump’s wall sit and decay in border states ever since the construction came to a screeching halt when President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris took office in 2021.

The flip-flop came during her speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week where the vice president said on Thursday she would sign the bipartisan border security bill that Republicans killed.

‘It requires the Trump border wall,’ Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) told Axios.

‘It is in the bill itself that it sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration: Here’s where it will be built. Here’s how it has to be built, the height, the type, everything during the Trump construction.’

Trump’s campaign responded to the latest reporting on Harris’ walkback on border policies by claiming she has never been for securing the country against illegal immigration.

‘As a senator, she tried to block President Trump’s construction of the border wall,’ a campaign email noted. ‘And as Border Czar, Kamala Harris halted construction of the border wall.’

‘Maybe if Kamala Harris sat down for an interview she could explain her views on the border wall, until then we can only look to her record of supporting open borders,’ it concluded.

Trump aides also called the report ‘false’ and asked: ‘How much longer will the mainstream media allow Kamala Harris to hide and use staff to speak on her behalf?

‘It’s DAY 37 of ZERO interviews and Kamala’s anonymous campaign sources are now claiming she supports President Trump’s border wall — this is a preposterous and false claim. Kamala’s RECORD proves she is pro-open border,’ Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in the statement.

Lankford negotiated the bill with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
