Joe Scarborough calls on Harris to disavow past support of taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners

(Daily Caller News Foundation) – MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Thursday urged Vice President Kamala Harris to renounce her previous support for taxpayer-funded sex changes for prison inmates.

Harris has previously indicated she supports tax-payer funded sex changes for transgender prison inmates and illegal immigrants. Scarborough, during a conversation with comedian Bill Maher on “Morning Joe,” said it should be “very easy” for Harris to reverse her position, which she espoused during her 2020 presidential campaign.

“Kamala’s big, I think, challenge here to win over the undecided voters is to convince them that she’s not part of what they suspect she might be, sort of a stealth version of the worst excesses of the left,” Maher said. “I said there’s a coalition of [former President Donald] Trump voters, people who really like him, they certainly are those, and then there’s people who don’t necessarily like him that much, but they still think he’s less crazy than stuff that strikes them as aggressively anti-common sense that takes place on the left, and that’s why they keep running that ad about sex changes in prison.

Maher and Scarborough both noted they frequently see a Trump campaign advertisement alleging Harris backs these operations for prisoners and illegal immigrants during football games.

“By the way, it’s very easy to say: ‘Yeah, I said that in 2019. I was in a competitive’ — now she did say — I think she said this was the law under Trump too,” Scarborough said. “He didn’t change it, but it’s very easy to say, ‘I don’t believe that anymore.’ And on that issue, she should.”

When Fox News host Bret Baier recently inquired about her current stance on the operations for illegal immigrants, Harris stated, “I’ll follow a law,” asserting that it’s “a law that Donald Trump actually followed.”

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God in September said the Trump campaign ad “was effective,” particularly because of how it aired during football games, adding that he doesn’t want his taxes funding sex changes for these individuals.

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Wednesday that he thinks a reason Harris is losing ground with independent voters is because they perceive her as “too liberal.” She currently lags behind Trump in all of the seven top battleground states, according to the RealClearPolling averages.
