when you were in Congress you supported the green New Deal and in 2019 you said quote there is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking fracking as you know is a pretty big issue particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania do you still want to ban fracking no and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as vice president I did not ban fracking as president I will not ban fracking okay she said she made it clear on the debate stage in 2020 she was no longer running for president in 2020 she had been chosen by Joe Biden as his running mate and he had one debate and it was against vice president Mike Pence I will show you that in one minute but first I'm going to show you the clip from 2019 to which danab bash was referring there's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking so yeah and and and starting and starting with what we can do on day one around public lands right and um and then there has to be legislation but yes and this is something I've taken on in California I have a history of working on this issue and to your point um and you know that we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the impact on the health and safety of communities okay so now there's a True Believer there's somebody who actually said her position and then backed up why she has that position you can see that seems sincere so when did did she take the stage in 2020 and say I was wrong fracking's not the way and I reverse myself on my promise to you absolutely that I'm going to ban fracking when did she do that I don't remember that most people don't remember that here's what she actually said in the Pence Harris VP debate in 2020 I will repeat and the American people know that Joe Biden will not ban fracking that is a fact Joe Biden will not ban fracking because Joe Biden's position was let not ban Fring and he was at the top of the ticket but listen to how she mischaracterized it all right I'm going to go back through it with you will you ban fracking she she asked no and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking that I would not ban fracking let's let's listen again let's 3Q 2020 I made that clear that I would not ban fracking and but before you listen to this here's her follow-up answer in 2020 I made very clear where I stand and I have not changed that position I kept my word watch I will repeat and the American people know that Joe Biden will not ban fracking that is a fact she's a liar and this was the biggest anchor fail of the evening when you get ready for an interview like this you must study the candidates positions there was Zero doubt this was going to come up zero doubt By Dana Bash and CNN and zero doubt by kamla Harris and as the anchor your obligation is to study the previous positions which danab bash did to some extent she saw that the comments in 2019 and then figure out where the candidate is likely to go and be ready for it so that you can ask appropriate follow-ups Dana Bash apparently ignored or saw and disregarded the answer in 2020 I understand why it's clearly not kamla Harris saying I reverse my position but it you would want to know you'd ask your team get me everything she said on fracking at all the debates make sure I know and so she should have known that in 2020 she was asked about this issue at a debate and she restated something that was Joe Biden 's position not hers and I believe that her failure to do that is what let left her unprepared to fact check the candidate in the moment which was what was required of the journalist sitting there she should have said no madam what you said on the debate stage in 2020 was that Joe Biden would not ban fracking
