But now her campaign is attempting to downplay those stances and present her as much more moderate even as Republican operatives dig up a plethora of old interviews and video clips showing her true colors.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Republican Dave McCormick, who is running against incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, highlighted Harris\u2019s controversial positions with a powerful montage. The video showcased Harris endorsing a range of extreme ideas, from open borders to federal firearm confiscation through a euphemistically termed \u201cmandatory buyback\u201d program.<\/p>\n<p>McCormick\u2019s ad also featured clips of Harris supporting various controversial policies, including the Green New Deal, a ban on fracking and offshore drilling, single-payer health insurance, voting rights for violent felons, and an authoritarian climate policy aimed at reducing red meat consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Republican strategists like Brad Todd in Pennsylvania have already begun seizing on the vice president\u2019s far-left history; she was once considered the most \u2018progressive\u2019 member of the U.S. Senate before she accepted Joe Biden\u2019s offer to be his running mate after dropping out of the 2020 Democratic primaries very early.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe archive is deep,\u201d Todd said, according to the Times. \u201cWe will run out of time before we run out of video clips of Kamala Harris saying wacky California liberal things. I\u2019m just not sure that the rest of this campaign includes much besides that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-12578241793956198-359\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Times provided some details about the montage that McCormack put together:<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><em>She said then that she opposed fracking; would \u201cthink about\u201d abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency; called the idea of adding more police officers \u201cwrongheaded thinking\u201d; entertained the idea of allowing felons to vote; said she supported a\u00a0\u201cmandatory buyback program\u201d for some guns; and called for the elimination of private health insurance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><em>Fracking is a particularly tough issue for Ms. Harris.
