In an era where the sanctity of our national principles and the vision of our Founding Fathers are under constant threat, the recent pronouncements from Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign are a stark reminder of the perils of progressive flip-flopping on critical issues. During a recent broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senior Adviser Adrienne Elrod was compelled to defend Harris’ bewildering policy reversals, which starkly contrast the steadfastness once cherished in American leadership.
“when you become a public servant, when you serve the American people, you, oftentimes, learn more about the issues,“
This assertion, while seemingly reasonable, raises a poignant question: Shouldn’t a potential leader’s principles be as unyielding as the American spirit? It appears that the current liberal agenda promotes a malleable approach to governance, where ‘evolution’ of policy is not just expected but encouraged.
“Public servants evolve, and I think you want someone in office who’s willing to take a hard look at the issues and be open-minded when it comes to where they stand, the more they learn about an issue, and, by the way, the more that issue also evolves.“
The dialogue continued with co-host Willie Geist pressing Elrod on Harris’ dramatic shifts from her previous stances, notably on issues like illegal border crossings, healthcare, and fracking. These are not mere adjustments but complete reversals, suggesting a concerning lack of foundational beliefs or, worse, a strategic manipulation of public opinion.
“I’m glad you asked this question, Willie, I think she’s made it very clear, that, when you become a public servant, when you serve the American people, you, oftentimes, learn more about the issues, and when you learn more about the issues, oftentimes, your positions evolve.“
Elrod’s responses seem to underscore a broader, alarming trend within the Democratic Party: a shift towards policies that could potentially erode the very fabric of American society as envisioned by our forebearers.
“Her position on fracking, for example, is the same position that she had during the 2020 campaign. People evolve on positions. I think we can look back to where a lot of elected officials stood on marriage equality, for example, in the early-2000s and mid-2000s, a lot of elected officials were against that. And, of course, it is unimaginable in the Democratic Party, in particular, these days, to not stand for marriage equality. Of course, the Vice President’s always stood for it. But, the bottom line is, people evolve, public servants evolve, and I think you want someone in office who’s willing to take a hard look at the issues and be open-minded when it comes to where they stand, the more they learn about an issue, and, by the way, the more that issue also evolves.“
The conversation concluded with a reassurance from Elrod regarding Harris’ current positions.
“Absolutely safe to say that, Willie, no doubt. She made that very clear on the debate stage Tuesday night. She’s evolved on some positions, but when it comes to where she stands on the issues that matter to the American people, her values remain the same. Those have been unchanged her entire career, when she was a prosecutor, when she was attorney general of California, when she was a United States senator, and, obviously, as Vice President.“
Yet, one must ponder: In the relentless pursuit of progress, have we abandoned the steadfast principles that once defined the American way of life? As we witness the continual erosion of clear, principled stances in favor of a more ‘evolved’ approach to governance, the need for a return to our foundational values becomes ever more apparent.
The preservation of our heritage, the very essence of the American dream, must not be left in the hands of those who see it as malleable. For in doing so, we risk losing the core of our national identity, sacrificed at the altar of political expediency.
