Exposing Kamala Harris’s Lies and Misleading Claims: The Truth Behind Trump-Harris Debate

During the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, numerous false claims and misleading statements were made by Harris to advance her political agenda. Here’s a breakdown of the facts, exposing Harris’s deception and propaganda.

1. Trump’s Inflation Claims vs. Harris’s Spin

Donald Trump accurately stated that during his presidency, inflation was far lower than under the Biden-Harris administration. While inflation did exist during Trump’s term, it was minimal compared to the skyrocketing inflation rates under Biden and Harris. According to Forbes, prices rose 6% in Trump’s first 42 months compared to a shocking 19% under Biden’s term, with inflation peaking at 9% in 2022. Harris’s attempt to downplay the disastrous inflation under her watch is a clear distortion of the facts.

2. The Truth About the Opportunity Economy

Kamala Harris claimed she is the only candidate with a plan for the middle class, painting Trump’s policies as benefiting only the wealthy. This is a blatant lie. Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provided significant tax relief to the middle class, with 82% of middle-income earners receiving an average tax cut of $1,050, according to FactCheck.org. Even Harris’s own Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, acknowledged that Trump’s tax cuts benefited all Americans. The result? New job openings surged, and tens of thousands of Americans voluntarily left their jobs for better opportunities, proving Trump’s policies directly lifted the middle class.

3. Harris’s Father Is a Marxist – A True Claim

Trump’s claim that Kamala Harris’s father is a Marxist professor is backed by solid facts. Donald Harris, Kamala’s father, is a retired economics professor at Stanford University, known for his writings on Marxist theory. His 1978 book, Capital Accumulation and Income Distribution, is based on Marxist ideas, further confirming Trump’s assertion. (source)

4. Border ‘Security’ Bill and Harris’s Misleading Attack

Kamala Harris attempted to deflect blame for the border crisis by claiming that Trump killed a Senate border bill that would have supposedly reduced the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. What she didn’t mention is that the bill, as Senator Ted Cruz noted, would have actually enshrined Joe Biden’s open-border policies into law. Harris’s spin conveniently ignores the reality that her administration’s policies have resulted in unprecedented illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking. (source)

5. Harris’s False Claims on Trump’s Supreme Court Appointments and Abortion

Harris accused Trump of creating “Trump abortion bans” by appointing justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. However, Trump simply enabled states to make their own decisions on abortion laws by returning the power to the people. Harris’s implication that Trump is responsible for each state’s abortion laws is misleading, as the power now rests in the hands of individual states, not the federal government.

6. Weaponization of the DOJ Under Biden-Harris

Trump rightfully called out the Biden-Harris administration for weaponizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) against him. Numerous cases have been pursued by prosecutors with direct or indirect ties to the Biden administration, as seen in the involvement of individuals like Matthew Colangelo, who worked closely with the Biden administration before pursuing cases against Trump. This kind of political targeting is a dangerous abuse of power.

7. Kamala Harris’s Misleading Abortion Claims

Harris claimed that no women are having abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy, yet she supports policies allowing for abortions up until birth in certain states. As of June 2023, several states, along with Washington D.C., have no term restrictions on abortion. Harris’s denial of the reality of late-term abortions is yet another example of her willingness to mislead the public.(source)

8. Kamala Harris and the ‘Defund the Police’ Movement

Harris’s involvement in supporting the “Defund the Police” movement is well-documented. She openly praised Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for slashing $150 million from the police budget and encouraged donations to bail out rioters in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Her attempts to distance herself from this movement in the debate are nothing short of revisionist history. (source)

9. Harris’s Misrepresentation of Trump’s COVID-19 Response

Harris took Trump’s early COVID-19 comments out of context, claiming that Trump praised China’s handling of the pandemic. In reality, while Trump initially thanked China for their transparency in January 2020, he later condemned their actions and highlighted how China’s early failures allowed the virus to spread globally. Harris’s attempt to spin Trump’s early remarks is a deliberate distortion of the timeline.

10. Harris’s Attack on Project 2025 – Another Falsehood

Harris continued her pattern of dishonesty by claiming that Trump is tied to Project 2025, a policy document developed by conservative organizations, including The Heritage Foundation. Trump has repeatedly stated that he has nothing to do with the project and hasn’t even read it. Harris’s attempt to link Trump to Project 2025 is a clear case of guilt by association, using baseless accusations to stoke fear among voters.

11. Charlottesville ‘Very Fine People’ Lie

Harris, like many others, repeated the long-debunked claim that Trump called white nationalist rioters in Charlottesville “fine people.” In fact, Trump clearly condemned neo-Nazis and white supremacists during the same statement, saying, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.” His reference to “very fine people” was about individuals on both sides of the debate over Confederate statues, not extremists. (source)

12. Harris on Transgender Surgeries for Prisoners

Trump claimed that Harris supports transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants in prison. While she didn’t directly address this issue during the campaign, her past statements show that she supported transgender inmates receiving “medically necessary” surgeries, including gender transition procedures. In 2019, Harris endorsed policies that would provide transgender surgeries to inmates. (source)

13. Harris and Afghanistan: A Misleading Attack on Trump

Harris blamed Trump for the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling it the “weakest deal ever.” However, Trump’s deal was conditions-based, ensuring that if the Taliban didn’t meet specific benchmarks, U.S. forces would remain. The chaotic withdrawal under the Biden-Harris administration, against military advice, caused the collapse of Kabul and the tragic deaths of 13 U.S. service members.

14. Harris’s Claim on Trump ‘Terminating the Constitution’

Harris falsely claimed Trump wanted to “terminate the Constitution.” This distortion comes from a post by Trump about addressing massive election fraud. Trump clarified that he never called for terminating the Constitution, but rather for addressing fraud he believed occurred in 2020.

15. Trump on Police and Crime: Exposing Harris’s Role in Supporting Rioters

Harris took aim at Trump’s remarks on crime and police, attempting to distance herself from the “defund the police” movement. Yet her actions tell a different story. Harris actively supported raising money to bail out rioters arrested during the violent unrest in Minneapolis following George Floyd’s death. She even encouraged donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which used the money to bail out individuals charged with serious crimes, including violent offenders. Harris’s involvement in these efforts contradicts her claims to support law enforcement and public safety.

16. Harris’s Falsehood About the Charlottesville ‘Very Fine People’ Lie

Kamala Harris, like many others before her, repeated the long-debunked claim that Trump called white nationalist rioters in Charlottesville, Virginia, “fine people.” However, what she failed to mention is that Trump clearly condemned neo-Nazis and white supremacists during the same statement. In fact, Trump said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.” His reference to “very fine people” was about individuals on both sides of the debate over Confederate statues, not extremists.

17. Trump on Foreign Policy: Harris’s Attack on Trump’s Afghanistan Strategy

Harris criticized Trump for negotiating a deal with the Taliban, calling it the “weakest deal ever.” What she failed to mention is that Trump’s deal with the Taliban was conditions-based, and the U.S. maintained a strategic military presence as leverage. It was only after the Biden-Harris administration’s poorly planned withdrawal in 2021 that the Afghan government collapsed, resulting in chaos and loss of American lives. Trump’s administration warned that a chaotic, unplanned withdrawal would lead to disaster. (source)

18. Harris and Transgender Surgeries for Prisoners

During the debate, Trump claimed that Harris supports transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants in prison. While Harris did not directly address this issue during the campaign, her past statements as a senator clearly show that she supported ensuring transgender inmates receive “medically necessary” surgeries, which would include gender transition procedures. In 2019, Harris publicly endorsed policies that would provide transgender surgeries to inmates. Her position on this issue reflects a broader support for costly medical procedures at taxpayer expense.

19. Harris’s False Claims About Trump’s Supreme Court Appointments and Abortion

Harris accused Trump of creating “Trump abortion bans” by appointing justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. However, Trump simply enabled states to make their own decisions on abortion laws by returning the power to the people. Harris’s implication that Trump is responsible for each state’s abortion laws is misleading, as the power now rests in the hands of individual states, not the federal government.

20. Harris’s Record on Defunding the Police

Despite Harris’s attempts to distance herself from the “defund the police” movement, her record tells a different story. She openly supported reallocating resources from police departments to community-based programs and even praised Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for slashing $150 million from the LAPD budget. This contradicts her claims of supporting law enforcement. (source)

21. Harris and the ‘Weaponization’ of the DOJ

Harris ignored the overwhelming evidence that the Biden administration has used the Department of Justice to target political opponents, including Trump. The fact that several high-profile investigations into Trump have been conducted by individuals with ties to the Biden administration is deeply concerning. For example, Matthew Colangelo, who previously worked in the Biden administration, was later brought into the Manhattan DA’s office to work on the Trump investigation. This clear conflict of interest shows a disturbing pattern of political targeting.

Conclusion

Throughout the debate, Kamala Harris consistently relied on falsehoods, misleading claims, and distortions of the truth to advance her political narrative. From her misrepresentation of Trump’s record on the economy, abortion, and foreign policy to her support for radical policies that would harm Americans, particularly women and families, Harris has shown a clear disregard for the facts.

American voters deserve better than this kind of dishonest, manipulative propaganda. It’s time to hold politicians like Harris accountable for their words and actions and demand truthful leadership that prioritizes the needs of the American people.
