U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) just made a big admission about Vice President Kamala Harris. 

The admission, according to Fox News, is that Harris is only distancing herself from her radical policies in order to get elected.

Sanders, of course, did not say this directly, but he did come pretty close. Take a look and listen:

This might be the most damaging clip of the election for Kamala

Bernie Sanders says she is NOT abandoning her Socialist ideals

Background

Harris, when she was a member of the U.S. Senate, was considered the most liberal Senator - even further to the left than someone like Sanders.

Now that she is the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, however, Harris has been trying to distance herself from her far-left background.

Toward this end, Harris has been adopting policies supported by former President Donald Trump. Harris was even caught including footage of Trump's border wall in one of her advertisements, even though she vehemently opposed it.

This situation has gotten to the point that Trump has even joked about sending Harris a "MAGA hat." Trump wrote, "She [Kamala Harris] is actually copying a lot of my plan, in fact we're going to send her a MAGA cap."

The big question, of course, is whether Harris is sincere about these changes or whether she is just saying what she believes that she needs to say in order to get elected. Harris, for her part, has said, "My values have not changed."

Here's Sanders' answer to this question:

During a recent interview with NBC News, Sanders was asked about Harris's policy reversals.

NBC's Kristen Welker asked Sanders: "She has previously supported Medicare-For-All, now she does not. She’s previously supported a ban on fracking, now she does not. These, senator, are ideas that you have campaigned on. Do you think she is abandoning her progressive ideals?"

"No, I don’t think she’s abandoning her ideals," Sanders replied, adding, "I think she’s trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election."

Commentators have pounced on this, suggesting that Sanders essentially just said the quiet party out loud, namely, that Harris is saying anything to get votes.

What do you think? Has Harris really changed? It would be hard to believe, to say the least.
