Following the interview, Dale spoke with host Abby Phillip to tell her that the claim was not correct.

“The fact check bottom line is that she did not actually make clear at a 2020 debate that she had changed her previous support for a fracking ban. So let me take you through this kind of saga so here’s what she said at a CNN climate town hall in 2019 on the subject of a fracking ban,” Dale said.

Dale and CNN then aired a clip of Harris from 2019, where she said “there was no question” she was “in favor of banning fracking.”

Dale added: “So, she ended her 2020 presidential run in December 2019. The only debate she participated in in 2020 was the general election debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence. And I went over the transcript of that debate tonight. Nowhere in there does she make clear that she had abandoned her previous support for a fracking ban; rather, she repeated that Joe Biden, the head of the democratic ticket at the time, would himself not ban fracking.”

The fact-checker then ran back a clip from the debate confirming his point.

He added: “So, it makes perfect sense that at the time she was speaking on behalf of Biden. The president, not the vice president, sets administration policy, but maybe other people feel differently. I certainly did not hear anywhere in there Kamala Harris saying that she personally had abandoned her previously expressed 2019 view, rather again, she was speaking for Joe Biden all right.”
