For years, Harris has consistently held anti-American views and pushed policies that undercut her claim to “love America.”
At a campaign rally in Wisconsin last week with former Rep. Liz Cheney, Vice President Kamala Harris opened by saying, “we love America.” She repeated the phrase several times, emphasizing that what brought her and Cheney together is a love for country that transcends partisan politics.
Set aside whether the endorsement of Cheney matters at all to voters in either party. Her neocon Never-Trump brand of Republican politics is repugnant to most GOP voters, and Democrats have long denounced her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, as a war criminal.
No one cares about the Cheney family’s endorsement of Harris. The more important question is: does Harris really love America?
Her record suggests she does not, and that in fact she hates America.
Consider what Harris said about America when the New York Times launched its 1619 Project back in 2019. She called it “a masterpiece” and endorsed its central thesis, saying, “We must speak this truth: the very foundation of our country was built on the backs of enslaved people.”
Recall that the entire purpose of the 1619 Project was to “reframe the country’s history” by placing slavery “at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are.” The project began with the false claim the “true founding” of America was not 1776 but 1619, when African slaves were first brought to North America. The essay by Nikole Hannah-Jones that launched the 1619 Project made a number of outlandish and quickly debunked historical assertions, like the American Revolution was fought to protect slavery and the American Founders didn’t really believe in the ideals they espoused in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
