Two separate ideas.
1. He said things that weren’t true.
2. He impressively rattled off right wing talking points.
No negative spin. Just a fact that that’s what they are.
He didnt talk about Kamala outside a couple times. But did Kamala not grow up in Canada? Did Kamalas truancy laws not get a woman locked up whos child had sickle cell?
"In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Harris said her initiative improved school attendance in San Francisco and “not one parent was sent to jail.” Host Jake Tapper then asked about the state law that she sponsored.
Tapper, May 12: Well, you pushed for a statewide law, right, a statewide truancy law.
Harris: And the state…
Tapper: And people were thrown into jail under that law.
Harris: Not by me.
Tapper: Not by you, but you supported the law.
Harris: I supported the law that — this is what I supported, and our initiative was that in the — and here’s — we’re going to get in the weeds, but give me the patience of time to explain it.
When I was looking at the issue of truancy, I realized that, when we define truancy, we defined it as three or four unexcused absences, you’re truant. I was seeing kids that were missing up to 80 days of a 180-day school year. So, my point was, why isn’t the education code recognizing that?
What ended up happening is, by changing the education code, it also changed — it, by reference then, was in the penal code. And then that was an unintended consequence.
And if I could do it over again, I would have made sure that it would not have increased penalties or the ability to prosecute anywhere in the state to prosecute parents, because that was never the intention. And it was never anything that I did."
Guess your right,technically she didnt lock any parents up "not by me
". And I dont hate that law/idea btw if usd correctly. Just seems like she shouldve predicted authority would likely be abused when cosigning these laws. Not sure how its not your intention for anyone to go to jail,when thats apart of the law that parents can be prosecuted.
I dont know if hes repeating right wing talking points or responding to the lefts attempt to spin. People frame these things as lies,but then when you google its like "Hold up,Kamala did actually grow up in Canada from 12-18,so its not a lie
".
So maybe he is just as suprised as I am sometimes at the lengths people will go to defend these politicians. If you know its some truth to it,why call it a lie. That tells me people would rather provide cover than provide clarity
