Dr. Carson says VP Harris 'doesn't really know' what her policies are and 'needs to be told' by staffers

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, will need to be able to defend and explain her policy positions in the upcoming debate against former President Donald Trump.

That will be no easy task, according to Dr. Ben Carson, who asserted that Harris "doesn't really know" what her own policies are and "needs to be told" the details by her aides and staffers, the Washington Examiner reported.

Making that feat perhaps a little less challenging, however, is purported evidence that strongly suggests Harris' newly announced policy positions were copied and pasted from the defunct re-election campaign of President Joe Biden, whom she has replaced as the Democratic nominee.

Kamala "needs to be told what her policies are"

After being the Democratic nominee for more than a month but before releasing an ostensible policies page on her website, VP Harris was confronted by CNN's Dana Bash during an interview about the lack of details and the apparent reversal in stance of the few policy positions she'd shared publicly.

Harris pushed back and repeatedly insisted that her "values have not changed," which was appropriately referenced by Dr. Carson, the former head of Housing and Urban Development, during an appearance on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" with fill-in host Jason Chaffetz.

Asked to preview the Tuesday night ABC debate between Harris and former President Trump, Carson said at one point, "So what you’re going to see in the debate is Donald Trump running on his past policies, and Kamala Harris running away from her past policies. So, it should make for a very, very interesting evening."

Chaffetz prefaced the segment by noting multiple issues on which Harris has flip-flopped her policy stance over the years, which prompted Carson to suggest that in preparation for the debate, Harris "needs to be told what her policies are, because she doesn’t really know what they are; nobody else does either."

As for Trump, he "doesn’t have to prep, because the truth is always the truth. You don’t have to try to figure out what things will resonate with people, you just say who you are. He’s very transparent. And I think the people will appreciate that."

Kamala's policy platform copied from Biden's campaign

On Sunday, after being the Democratic nominee for more than a month, the Harris-Walz campaign finally posted a policy page to the campaign website that was ironically titled "A New Way Forward" -- as if Harris hasn't been the vice president of the current Biden-Harris administration for the past nearly four years.

Adding to the irony of that absurdly revisionist policy page title is the fact that, according to leftist outlet The New Republic, there is evidence that shows that at least portions of the supposedly "new" policies for Harris were lifted directly from the now-defunct campaign website of President Biden.

Indeed, metadata that showed up when links were shared or in Google searches revealed messages like "Join our campaign to re-elect Joe Biden today," among other Biden campaign-related data.

Interestingly enough, after the glaring evidence of the apparent copy/paste mishap was pointed out, it has since been scrubbed -- though the policies that look remarkably similar to the platform Biden was running on, before he was ousted by his own fellow Democrats in favor of Harris, remain on the Harris-Walz site.

Kamala has no idea what she's doing

As Dr. Carson alluded to, Kamala Harris has no idea what her own supposed policies are because she is an empty vessel who has no real grasp on the issues and instead supports the positions that she is told by her handlers to support at any given time.

Thus, there is no way for American voters to know for sure whether a President Harris would enact the radical progressive leftist agenda she espoused during her failed 2020 presidential run, would continue to pursue the current policy agenda begun under President Biden, or would forge a new and ostensibly moderate platform of policies that her campaign believes the American people want to hear.
