Kamala Harris said in a recent tweet she will be “president for all Americans.” However, like most of what she serves up on her public Twitter account, her tweet is long on smiles and handshakes but short on actual information.
There is no credible source for whatever it is Harris intends to do if she is elected president today. She has not held a single real press conference in 90 days, while Donald Trump holds them daily – hourly now that the last voting day has started.
Unfortunately, the best way to get actual information about what Harris has planned is from those who oppose her and her plans.
New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Congressman Andy Barr, who is from Kentucky, recently penned a joint opinion column for Newsweek that was published Monday, titled: “Kamala Harris Is Weaponizing Banks Against American Gun Owners. We Won’t Stand for It.”
The two elected officials accuse Harris of trying to use banks to target American gun owners, and they introduced their own bill as a solution.
“Under the Biden-Harris Administration, there has been an unconstitutional and relentless attack on the Second Amendment rights and privacies of American citizens,” the pair began, adding that anti-gun groups and their leaders, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, celebrated the creation of a new Merchant Category Code, or MCC, for gun dealers who live in the state.
Stefanik and Barr both say Harris and Democrats in general are misusing the entire financial system against lawful gun owners because the MCCs will track sales linked to guns and ammunition.
“Our bill aims to ensure that firearms retailers are not unjustly targeted by payment card networks or other financial entities, and purchases by law-abiding citizens are protected from monitoring and denial by the government,” Stefanik and Barr wrote. “Specifically, our bill ensures that firearms retailers are not considered differently than general or sporting goods merchants.”
The need for this new type of legislation has increased, the Congress members said, because several anti-gun and leftist groups operate without any supervision even though their “frameworks don’t align with the interests or values of our country.”
Courting Both Sides
Over at CNN, Andrew Kaczynski and Erin Burnett discussed Kaczynski’s latest investigation Friday night, which featured a network chyron that read, “HARRIS CAMPAIGN’S MESSAGE ON ISREAL-GAZA DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE.”
The story featured two ads from Harris, one running for Moslem voters in Michigan, and the second was written for Jewish voters in Pennsylvania.
For the Moslems, Harris said, “What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent.”
For the Jews, Harris said, “Let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7th.”
Kaczynski summed it up best at the end, saying, “So this is a really delicate issue for her.”
