INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION:
WHERE THEY STAND ON THE ISSUES:
After graduating from law school at age 25 in 1989, Kamala Harris served as:
After joining the Army National Guard at age 17 in April 1981, Tim Walz:
Kamala’s Parents
Kamala Harris’ father was a committed Marxist who taught economics at Stanford University and pushed for the school to hire additional Marxist professors. He characterized Karl Marx as “the theorist of economic growth par excellence,” and stated that “I have heard no worthwhile arguments against Marxian economics.”
In the early 1960s, both of Kamala Harris’ parents were active in the Berkeley-based Afro-American Association (AAA), which, according to one former member, consisted of people who looked to “Fidel Castro and Che Guevara” as their “heroes.” AAA leader Donald Warden mentored two of the Association’s members, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, who in 1966 co-founded the Black Panther Party, a violent revolutionary organization that engaged in drug dealing, pimping, rape, extortion, assault, and murder.
Kamala’s Sister & Brother-in-Law
Kamala Harris’ younger sister, Maya Harris, was born in 1967 and became a student activist at Stanford University, where she befriended Steve Phillips, one of the leading Marxist-Leninists on campus and a longtime affiliate of the League of Revolutionary Struggle — a Marxist-Leninist, pro-China organization.
Between 2003 and 2008, Maya Harris worked as a director with the ACLU of Northern California. She also has defended the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an Islamic extremist organization linked to the terrorist group Hamas.
Maya Harris’ husband, Tony West, served in 2002 as a defense lawyer for al-Qaeda terrorist John Walker Lindh, the so-called “American Taliban” who had taken up arms against U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 9/11. In 2008, West raised some $65 million for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and four years later he was named the Obama administration’s Associate Attorney General. In that post, West worked to expand the rights granted to terrorist enemy combatants who had been captured on the battlefield.
Kamala’s Maoist Protégé
During her tenure as San Francisco District Attorney, Kamala Harris mentored a young Maoist activist named Lateefah Simon, who at that time was a board member of the Oakland-based Youth Empowerment Center, whose board members all belonged to the Maoist organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM). Harris subsequently hired Simon, helped her get through college, and introduced her to many influential people in the Bay Area. Simon later went on to become best friends with Black Lives Matter’s Marxist co-founder Alicia Garza.
Kamala’s Ties to Communist-Linked Willie Brown
In 1994, 30-year-old Kamala Harris was dating 60-year-old Willie Brown, the powerful Democratic Speaker of the California State Assembly. Brown had been separated, but not divorced, from his wife since the 1980s.
In October 2020, the blogger/author Trevor Loudon wrote the following about Brown’s communist affiliations:
“Brown was a long-time communist sympathizer. He was first elected to public office with the help of the Communist Party USA youth wing. He was funded by Dr. Carlton Goodlett, a communist newspaper owner who was once awarded the Lenin Prize by the government of the former Soviet Union. Several years after his affair with Harris, Brown was still openly sponsoring Communist Party fundraisers in the Bay Area while serving as San Francisco mayor. Today, Brown is widely regarded as one of the Chinese Communist Party’s best friends in the Bay Area.”
In June 1994, Brown appointed Harris to a $97,000-per-year position with the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board (CUIAB). After resigning from that panel five months later, Harris was immediately appointed by Brown to the California Medical Assistance Commission (CMAC). Though CMAC members were technically required to have experience in health-and-medical-related fields, Harris had no such background. According to former California State Assemblyman Brett Granlund: “Both boards [CUIAB and CMAC] are reserved for political payback or occasionally for personal rewards for personal service. The boards are considered plum appointments as they require no work, no policy credentials, and are paid the equivalent of a full-time [state] senator for arriving at a one-to-two-hour meeting each month.”
Kamala Names Barbara Lee to Co-Chair Her Presidential Campaign
On February 14, 2019, Harris’ presidential campaign announced that Congresswoman Barbara Lee would be its California co-chair. A former ally of the notorious Black Panther Party, Lee had been:
Kamala’s Kwanzaa Memories
In December 2020, Harris made a video in which she wished Americans a happy Kwanzaa holiday and shared, in particular, her own personal childhood memories of her family celebrating Kwanzaa and its “seven principles.” She did not mention that the seven principles of Kwanzaa mirrored precisely the principles embraced by the Symbionese Liberation Army, a pro-Marxist, revolutionary terrorist organization of the 1970s. Nor did Harris mention that the founder of Kwanzaa was Maulana Karenga, a Marxist activist, black nationalist, and Black Power militant who in 1971 was arrested for brutally assaulting and torturing two women.
Kamala’s America-Hating Pastor, Amos Brown
Harris has known the Rev. Amos Brown, pastor of San Francisco’s Third Baptist Church where Harris is a “dues-paying member” of the congregation, since the late 1990s. As of July 2024, Brown had visited Vice President Harris at the White House on at least two occasions.
“For two decades now, at least, I have turned to you,” Harris said of Brown at the 2022 National Baptist Convention. “… And I will say that your wisdom has really guided me and grounded me during some of the most difficult times. And — and you have been a source of inspiration to me always.”
At the NAACP’s 2022 national convention, Harris stated that Brown “has been on this journey with me every step of the way, from when I first thought about running for public office almost two decades ago.”
Some noteworthy facts about Rev. Brown:
Kamala’s Friend & Object of Admiration, Al Sharpton
Notwithstanding activist Al Sharpton’s long history as a highly prominent racist, black supremacist, and Jew-hater, Harris in July 2019 lauded him as a “friend” who “has spent his life fighting for what’s right.”
In 2019 and 2020 — her last two years as a member of the U.S. Senate — Harris was rated as America’s “most liberal” / “most politically left” senator by GovTrack.us, a nonpartisan tracker of Congress and its members. Indeed, her politics were even farther to the left than those of the self-identified socialist, Bernie Sanders.
On April 12, 2021, President Biden posted a Twitter message stating that whenever he had to make any important political decisions, Harris was always present with him — as “the last voice in the room.” “When I served as Vice President,” Biden wrote in the tweet, “I asked to be the last person with the President [Obama] before big decisions were made — and @VP [Harris] is providing the same counsel to me. She’s the last voice in the room and never fails to speak the truth as we work to build our nation back better.”
During an August 12, 2024 news briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said of Harris and Biden: “They’ve been aligned, you know, they’ve been aligned for the last three and a half years. There’s not been any daylight” between them.
In a September 25, 2024 appearance on ABC’s The View, Biden said: “As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she [Harris] couldn’t do, and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.”
In early October 2024, Biden said of Harris: “She helped pass all of the laws that are being employed now; she was a major player in everything we’ve done.”
During an October 8, 2024 appearance on ABC’s The View, Harris was asked: “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?” She replied: “There is not a thing that comes to mind. And I’ve been part of most of the decisions that have had impact…. Those were all a shared priority.”
HARRIS: Thwarting Pro-Life Legislation in Conservative States
During her 2020 presidential campaign, Senator Harris said that her Medicare-for-All plan would establish a list of politically conservative states that would be required to get pre-approval from the Justice Department before they would be permitted to pass any pro-life legislation.
HARRIS: Outraged by Supreme Court Overturning Roe v. Wade
On May 2, 2022, Politico reported that a leaked draft majority opinion, written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, indicated that the Court had decided to strike down the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, and to return the regulation of abortion rights to each individual state. In response, an outraged VP Harris said that “the rights of women are under attack,” and that “opponents of Roe want to punish women and take away their rights to make decisions about their own bodies.”
HARRIS: Omits the Declaration’s Guarantee of Right to “Life”
VP Harris delivered a pro-abortion speech on January 22, 2023, wherein she referenced the Declaration of Independence but omitted any mention of that document’s explicit guarantee of the “unalienable right” to the “Life” that the “Creator” had gifted to all human beings. Harris’ words were as follows: “America is a promise…. A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
HARRIS & BIDEN: Forcing Pro-Lifers to Pay for Abortions
On March 22, 2023, LifeNews.com reported that the Biden-Harris administration was “trying to strip away the rights” of employers to refuse to comply – because of their own moral concerns — with a government mandate requiring businesses, under the terms of Obamacare, to offer their workers health-insurance plans that would cover the costs of abortifacients, contraceptives, and sterilization.
HARRIS & BIDEN: Suing Texas Over “Fetal Heartbeat” Law
On September 8, 2021, the Biden-Harris administration sued the state of Texas over its recently enacted “Heartbeat Act,” which prohibited physicians from performing or inducing an abortion after a fetal heartbeat had been detected.
HARRIS, BIDEN, & DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Public Funding for Abortions
Advocating the repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which since 1976 had barred the use of public money to fund abortions, Senator Harris in 2019 said that “no woman’s access to reproductive health care should be based on how much money she has.”
During her 2020 presidential campaign, Senator Harris announced a “Medicare-for-All” plan that would cover comprehensive abortion services for all women.
In 2019, then-Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, who had formerly supported the Hyde Amendment, announced that the Amendment “can’t stay” because “times have changed.”
In January 2015, House Republicans introduced the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, which sought.to permanently prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for abortions or for health insurance plans that covered abortion-related procedures. When the bill came up for a vote:
• Just 3 Democrats supported it while 178 opposed it.
• Republicans backed the bill by a margin of 239 to 1.
The official Democratic Party Platform of 2020 stated: “We will repeal the Hyde Amendment, and protect and codify the right to reproductive freedom.”
HARRIS, BIDEN, & DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Forcing Doctors to Perform Abortions Even if They Have Moral Objections
On July 28, 2022, the National Catholic Register reported: “The Biden administration proposed a new rule this week that legal experts say, if finalized, would force hospitals and doctors to perform gender-transition surgeries and abortions,” and “would reverse Trump-era conscience protections which sought to allow medical professionals to opt out of performing procedures against their beliefs.”
On January 29, 2015, House Republicans introduced the Conscience Protection Act, which aimed to prevent the government from penalizing healthcare providers and insurers who wished, for moral or ethical reasons, not to participate in, or pay for, abortions in any way. When this bill came up for a vote in July:
• Just 3 Democrats supported it while 181 opposed it.
• Republicans supported it by a margin of 242 to 1.
HARRIS & DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Infanticide for Babies Who Survive Abortions
During her 2020 presidential campaign, Senator Harris opposed legislation that would have compelled doctors to provide, for infants who survived abortions, the same degree of care as would normally be given to any infant of the same gestational age who was born in a non-abortion setting.
In January 2023, House Republicans introduced the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which stipulated that in cases where a baby somehow managed to survive an attempted abortion procedure, medical practitioners would be required to try to preserve its life. When the bill came up for a vote:
• Just 1 Democrat supported it while 210 opposed it.
• Republicans supported the bill unanimously, 219 to 0.
HARRIS & DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Opposed to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
In 2020, Senator Harris, along with all but two of her fellow Senate Democrats, opposed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, legislation designed to prevent the performance of abortions starting at 20 weeks after conception — at which time, according to scientific evidence, in-utero babies can feel pain. The bill allowed exceptions for abortions deemed necessary in order to protect the life or health of the mother, or where the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest.
BIDEN: Pledge to Codify Roe v. Wade if Democrats Win Midterms
At a Democratic National Committee event in D.C. on October 18, 2022, President Biden vowed to codify Roe v. Wade into law as his first legislative act after the midterms if Democrats were to succeed in retaining their control of both the House and Senate. “The court got Roe right nearly 50 years ago and I believe the Congress should codify Roe, once and for all,” he said. “The first bill I will send to the Congress will be to codify Roe v. Wade,” he added.
BIDEN: Executive Orders to Protect Abortion Rights
On July 8, 2022 – two weeks after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade – President Biden issued an executive order titled “Protecting Access to Reproductive Health Care Services.” A White House Fact Sheet about the executive order said it would “safeguar[d] access to reproductive health care services, including abortion and contraception.”
On August 3, 2022, President Biden issued a second executive order designed to protect abortion rights in the wake of the June 24 Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. The order said, in part: “I am directing my Administration to take further action to protect access to reproductive healthcare services … relating to pregnancy or the termination of a pregnancy.”
WALZ: Abortion-on-Demand
Tim Walz believes that all women should have an unrestricted right to abortion-on-demand at any stage of pregnancy – subsidized by taxpayers, in cases of economic hardship.
WALZ: Abortion-on-Demand (January 2023)
On January 31, 2023, Governor Walz signed the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act — a bill enshrining a woman’s “right” to abortion without limits. The legislation read: “Every individual has a fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about the individual’s own reproductive health, including the fundamental right to use or refuse reproductive health care.” “Today,” said Walz, “we are delivering on our promise to put up a firewall against efforts to reverse reproductive freedom.”
The Minnesota Family Council stated that in addition to ensuring that abortion would remain legal through the very end of a pregnancy, the PRO Act would: (a) “forc[e] all Minnesotans to pay for all abortion services through Medical Assistance”; (b) “repea[l] the law protecting children born [alive] during [failed] abortion surgery, thereby legalizing infanticide”; and (c) “repea[l] statutes which ensure that pregnant women give informed consent prior to abortion.”
WALZ: Permitting Babies to Die after a Botched Abortion (May 2023)
In May 2023, Walz signed a bill that altered the wording of a Minnesota law which had been on the books since 1976. That 1976 law was reaffirmed in the Born Alive Infants Protection Act of 2015, which stated: “A born alive infant as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person, and accorded immediate protection under the law. All reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice, including the compilation of appropriate medical records, shall be taken by the responsible medical personnel to preserve the life and health of the born alive infant.” (Emphasis added)
By contrast, the legislation that Walz signed in May 2023 said: “An infant who is born alive shall be fully recognized as a human person, and accorded immediate protection under the law. All reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice, including the compilation of appropriate medical records, shall be taken by the responsible medical personnel to care for the infant who is born alive.” (Emphasis added)
Paul Stark, communications director with the pro-life group Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, said: “The concern is that the law no longer requires that lifesaving measures be taken. It only requires ‘care.’ So the law as it’s now written could allow a baby to be left to die, even a baby who could be saved with appropriate lifesaving measures.”
Republican state Rep. Jeff Backer explained that the legislation signed by Walz required only the administration of “comfort care” rather than aggressive efforts to save the baby’s life. “Comfort care means lay on a hard surface, maybe a blanket,” said Backer. “Comfort care is not medical lifesaving care.”
WALZ: Widespread Dispensation of Abortion Pills
In March 2023, Walz was one of 14 Democrat governors who signed a letter pressuring the leaders of major U.S. pharmacies to make abortion pills (like Mifepristone) widely available.
WALZ: State Constitutional Amendment Enshrining Abortion Rights
In January 2024, CBS News reported that Governor Walz “says he is open to putting a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights on the November ballot.”
WALZ & DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Opposed to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
In October 2017, Rep. Walz voted against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (PCUCPA), legislation designed to prevent the performance of abortions starting at 20 weeks after conception — at which time, according to scientific evidence, in-utero babies can feel pain. The bill allowed exceptions for abortions deemed necessary in order to protect the life or health of the mother, or where the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest.
• All told, a mere 3 House Democrats supported the PCUCPA, while 187 opposed it.
• Republicans, by contrast, supported the bill by a margin of 234 to 2.
TRUMP: Spoke at The March for Life
In January 2018, Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. President ever to speak at the March for Life, a massive pro-life rally held annually in D.C. He spoke again at the March for Life rallies in 2019 and 2020.
TRUMP: Opposes Late-Term Abortions
At the 2018 March for Life, Trump said: “Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be [torn] from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong; it has to change.”
TRUMP: Protect the Right of Doctors To Eschew Abortion for Moral Reasons
At the 2018 March for Life, Trump said: “Today, I’m announcing that we have just issued a new proposal to protect conscience rights and religious freedoms of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals.”
In May 2019, the Trump administration’s Department of Health & Human Services issued a Conscience and Religious Freedom rule designed, as KFF Health News put it, “to protect the religious rights of health care providers and religious institutions by allowing them to opt out of procedures such as abortions, sterilizations and assisted suicide.”
TRUMP: Believes Abortion Policy Should Be Decided by Each State
Trump agrees with the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision of 2022, which ruled that each separate state should decide for itself what its abortion policies should be.
TRUMP: Favors Exceptions for Rape, Incest, & Mother’s Life
Trump favors exceptions on abortion restrictions in cases where a pregnancy results from rape or incest, or where the life of the mother is endangered by the pregnancy.
TRUMP: Opposes a National Abortion Ban
During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump has repeatedly stated that he would not sign any bill calling for a nationwide ban on abortions. On October 1, 2024, he expanded that pledge by affirming that even if such a ban were to be passed by Congress, he would veto it. As Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Everyone knows I would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it.”
In June 2023, the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action – i.e., race preferences — for college admissions. At issue was the fact that Asians in particular, but whites as well, were being discriminated against in the admissions policies of schools like Harvard and the University of North Carolina. For example, among mid-range Harvard University applicants – those in the 5th and 6th academic deciles — blacks were 3.8 times more likely than whites, and 11.8 times more likely than Asians, to be admitted. This was a continuation of the type of extreme discrimination that had been taking place in academia for decades.
HARRIS: Opposed the 2023 Supreme Court Ruling Against Affirmative Action
When the Supreme Court made its ruling in June 2023, VP Harris expressed her “deep disappointment” and issued a statement that said: “Today’s Supreme Court decision … is a step backward for our nation. It rolls back long-established precedent and will make it more difficult for students from underrepresented backgrounds to have access to opportunities that will help them fulfill their full potential.”
In a separate venue, Harris said: “[T]his is now a moment where the Court has not fully underst[ood] the importance of equal opportunity for the people of our country, and it is in so very many ways a denial of opportunity. And … it is a complete misnomer to suggest this is about ‘colorblind,’ when, in fact, it is about being blind to history, being blind to data, being blind to empirical evidence about disparities, being blind to the strength that diversity brings to classrooms, to boardrooms.”
BIDEN: Opposed the 2023 Supreme Court Ruling Against Affirmative Action
Reacting to the June 2023 Supreme Court decision to strike down affirmative action, President Biden said: “The court has effectively ended affirmative action in college admissions, and I strongly, strongly disagree with the court’s decision.” He further asserted that the court which issued this ruling “is not a normal court.”
Biden also told MSNBC that the Supreme Court had “done more to unravel basic rights and basic decisions than any court in recent history.”
HARRIS & BIDEN: Urged Colleges to Defy the Supreme Court Decision
Despite the Supreme Court’s June 2023 ruling that the use of race-based college admissions policies were unconstitutional, the Civil Rights divisions of the Department of Education and the Department of Justice together released a guidance on August 14th encouraging universities to circumvent the ruling by considering “ways a student’s background, including experiences linked to their race, have shaped their lives and the unique contributions they can make to campus.”
WALZ: Supports Affirmative Action
Tim Walz believes that public and private employers alike should be legally required to implement affirmative-action hiring and promotion policies that give preference to nonwhites and women, as compensation for historical injustices.
WALZ: Established Racial Quotas in Minnesota
In May 2024, Governor Walz signed into law a bill that established racial quotas throughout Minnesota’s Health Department, including race-based requirements for membership in five of the Department’s committees. Numerous legal experts called Walz’s policy unconstitutional.
TRUMP: Supported the 2023 Supreme Court Ruling Against Affirmative Action
Trump said that the June 2023 Supreme Court decision marked “a great day for America.” “This is the ruling everyone was waiting and hoping for, and the result was amazing,” he stated. “It will also keep us competitive with the rest of the world. Our greatest minds must be cherished, and that’s what this wonderful day has brought. We’re going back to all merit-based—and that’s the way it should be.”
HARRIS: Boasted of Her Role in the U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan
During an April 25, 2021 interview on CNN, VP Harris boasted that she had been the “last person in the room” with President Biden when he made his then-recent decision to withdraw all remaining U.S. troops and American civilians from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021 — a target date that would subsequently be changed to August 31, 2021. When the withdrawal from Afghanistan was eventually carried out that August, it was an infamously chaotic catastrophe which:
