“I am a radical,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced during a public event in 2010 at Google.

The acknowledgment aligns with her far-left positions.
Harris said she was, in fact, a “radical” during the Google event in response to Republican attacks that she was a “radical” District Attorney in San Francisco.

“I read that at the Republican Convention. He [opponent] called me a radical,” Harris said. “So I guess that’s one difference between us.”

“And, yeah, I am radical,” she said. “I do believe that we need to get radical, about what we are doing, and take it seriously.”

Harris was the District Attorney of San Francisco from January 8, 2004, to January 3, 2011. She then became a U.S. senator from January 3, 2017, to January 18, 2021. In 2019, she was the most far-left senator, surpassing socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT), according to GovTrack’s scorecard.

The list of her radical policies includes:

  1. Endorsing “some form of reparation”
  2. Co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation
  3. Backed Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation
  4. Backed banning private health insurance
  5. Supported giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants
  6. Supported banning fracking
  7. Backed defunding the police
  8. Compared ICE to the KKK
  9. Wanted to ban plastic straws
  10. Defended banning offshore drilling
  11. Wanted to “undo” the Trump administration’s border security, taking 94 executive actions in their first 100 days to rescind nealy every Trump-era measure
  12. Supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings
  13. Said she wouldn’t “treat” illegal aliens as “criminals”
  14. Called for “starting [ICE] from scratch”
  15. Argued that temporarily closing the border violated federal law
  16. Raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-left organization that pays to bail out of jail violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.
  17. Supported Los Angeles’s cuts to their police department
  18. Called efforts to add more police to the streets “wrongheaded thinking”
  19. Championed the administration’s so-called “Bidenomics” as costs dramatically soared for American families
  20. Bragged about being a “leader” in the push to “get rid of the cash bail system in America.”
Harris appears to be walking back some of her radical positions.
Citing anonymous campaign officials, the New York Times reported Monday that Harris now (1) supports fracking, (2) wants to increase funding for the border, (3) does not want to require people to sell their assault weapons back to the government, (4) and no longer supports “a single-payer health insurance program.”
