Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) slick-talked her way around the topic of eliminating private health insurance, after she received gentle pushback from ABC News‘ David Muir over her false claim that she doesn’t want to eliminate private health insurance.
“I ask you this because you have pressure from the Left, you have pressure from the center, you’re trying to appeal to Republicans, and so on sort of the evolution on the issues when you talk about health care that you see eye to eye—do you see a day where private insurance would go away as you once proposed?” asked Muir.
“No,” Harris claimed, despite her public record of supporting the elimination of private healthcare.
“And in fact that my plan, when I was running, was that we would not eliminate private insurance,” she continued – adding “And Joe and I –”
“Even though you signed on for Medicare for All?” Muir interjected – to which Harris performed a whiplash-inducing pivot.
“I signed on to that. I signed on to a number of bills that were about great ideas to fix the problem,” she replied. “I want to fix the problem. And Joe has a plan to fix the problem, and I’m fully supportive of it.”
