Fox News host Sean Hannity has accused Vice President Kamala Harris of engaging in "wild flipping, flopping, and flailing," questioning the consistency and authenticity of her policy stances. Hannity points to Harris' alleged shifts on key issues such as healthcare, climate change, and criminal justice reform, suggesting that she is merely tailoring her views to suit political expediency.
Fox News host Sean Hannity has launched a scathing attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of selling "snake oil" and being in the midst of an identity crisis. Hannity's criticism stems from his perception that Harris has been flip-flopping on key policy positions, altering her stance depending on the political climate.
Specifically, Hannity highlighted Harris' alleged reversals on healthcare, the Green New Deal, and criminal justice reform. He noted that Harris has previously co-sponsored legislation that would have eliminated private health insurance and instituted a single-payer system, but has since stated that she would allow people to keep their private plans.

Hannity also pointed to Harris' initial support for the Green New Deal, a comprehensive plan to combat climate change, but her subsequent distancing from the proposal during the presidential campaign. Additionally, he criticized Harris' previous advocacy for defunding the police and dismantling the cash bail system, which she has since toned down.
According to Hannity, these inconsistencies reflect a lack of genuine conviction on Harris' part and a willingness to tailor her views to suit the political moment. He likened Harris' approach to that of a salesperson peddling a dubious product, arguing that she is merely offering empty promises to gain favor with voters.
"The 'freedom and joy' party wants to take away your money to pay for college, health care, housing for illegals," Hannity said. "They want to take away your money and your ability and choice to have your own health care plan."
Hannity further pointed out that Harris has been reluctant to give news conferences or interviews, which he suggested is a deliberate strategy to avoid accountability and scrutiny. He questioned whether Harris' silence is an indication that she is not fully prepared for the demands of the vice presidency.
"We don't really know where Kamala stands," Hannity asserted. "Kamala won't say what she believes."
Hannity's criticism of Harris is part of a broader pattern of conservative attacks on the Biden administration. Critics have accused the administration of being too progressive and out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans. Hannity's commentary adds to this chorus of criticism, questioning the credibility and competence of the vice president.
It remains to be seen whether Harris will respond to Hannity's accusations and whether she will be able to effectively address the concerns of her critics. The coming months will be crucial for Harris as she seeks to prove her mettle and establish herself as a trusted and capable leader.
