Vice President Kamala Harris notably excluded several amendments when she spoke about her commitment to the Bill of Rights.
What politicians don’t say often matters just as much as what they do. Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated several amendments in the Bill of Rights but notably left out some others when she claimed her Republican opponent would “terminate” the Constitution.
On Thursday, Harris participated in a Univision town hall in Las Vegas, where she courted Hispanic voters in prime time, many of whom are obviously weary of authoritarianism under communist rule. Harris was answering a question about her party pushing President Joe Biden out of the way for her own candidacy when she launched into a hyperbolic tirade about how former President Donald Trump was thwarting her crusade for “democracy.”
“I am honored to have earned the Democratic nomination,” she said, several months after the DNC ousted Biden from the ticket and ensconced her as his replacement candidate without a challenge.
Trump on the other hand, she said, would “terminate the Constitution of the United States.”
“Imagine the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable search and seizure by a government on you, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment,” she said. Americans might be wondering about how the First and Second Amendments, which guarantee free speech and gun rights, will fare another administration that is built on censorship and hostile toward firearms.
“During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris ran to the left of Biden on gun control,” author and gun expert John Lott wrote in The Federalist this summer. “While both supported an assault weapons ban, Harris wanted to force gun owners to sell to the government any firearms that she deemed undesirable.
