Vice President Kamala Harris' recent media appearances raise concerns over her willingness to address important issues and her support for censoring free speech.
Vice President Kamala Harris has embarked on a "media blitz" this week, appearing on a series of friendly outlets to promote her agenda. However, her interviews have been marked by evasiveness on critical issues and support for social media censorship.
On Tuesday, Harris appeared on Sirius XM's "The Howard Stern Show," where she declined to answer whether she would feel safe in the United States if former President Donald Trump wins re-election in November. When pressed by Stern, Harris pivoted to touting the support she has received from some Republicans.

Harris' reluctance to address concerns about the potential consequences of Trump's return to power is alarming. As the Vice President, she has a responsibility to provide reassurance to the American people, regardless of their political affiliation. Her evasion raises questions about her ability to lead effectively in times of crisis.
Meanwhile, Harris has indicated her support for social media censorship, suggesting that it is necessary to combat misinformation. However, free speech is a fundamental right enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Attempting to silence opposing viewpoints through censorship erodes the very foundation of our democracy.

Harris' media blitz has coincided with a broader effort by the Biden administration to promote censorship. Recently, several high-profile figures, including Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, have advocated for social media companies to take more aggressive action against "misinformation."
This push for censorship is particularly concerning in light of the upcoming midterm elections. By suppressing dissenting voices, the Biden administration could stifle legitimate political debate and undermine the integrity of the electoral process.

Harris' evasion on Trump and her support for censorship demonstrate a troubling trend. If elected President, she would likely continue to push for policies that undermine both free speech and the fair and open exchange of ideas.
