If You Enjoy Lies, You Love Trump’s Fallacious Commercials Demeaning Kamala Harris
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Okay, we know that today’s Republicans in name only are the
party of racism and bigotry. They oppose the very idea of complete equality for
all Americans based on their race, or skin color. They use Christianity to deny
the existence of the LGBTQ community. There most recent focus has been on
transgender Americans.
Trump’s people are running an ad claiming that Kamala Harris
supports gender change medical care for incarcerated men and women and illegal
residents.
It is a fact that half-truths are more dangerous than
blatant falsehoods. The tape shown in the ad was made in 2020. She was answering
questions related to several court decisions which confirmed the right of
prisoners to obtain medical care based on the Eighth Amendment.
[The Trump ad uses a 2020 interview clip, in which Harris
says she supports gender-affirming surgery for transgender prisoners who can
demonstrate that their mental health depends on it. "Every transgender
inmate in the prison system would have access," she said.
[But they edit out the rest of her statement: "Every
transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care
that they desired and need."
[That's what the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution
requires, multiple courts have ruled. And there are just a few known cases of
prisoners and none of "illegal aliens" receiving gender-affirming
surgery.]
MORE LIES FOR THE UNINFORMED
In other misleading ads Trump’s people claim that the Vice-President
freed illegal residents from prison who later killed or sexually assaulted
American citizens.
Here’s a little information about our legal system.
A prosecutor, D.A., or even an Attorney General cannot
arbitrarily remove anyone from incarceration. Only a judge can take such
action.
Trump has a problem, a real problem, and these baseless
attacks on Ms. Harris are a smoke screen to cover up the fact that Trump is a
lifetime criminal, and as your illegitimate president he committed the two most
egregious crimes possible: treason, and violating the Espionage Act.
If there was justice in America, Trump would be in a prison,
not a free man who is illegally running for our nation’s highest office, just
read section three of the Fourteenth Amendment. However, his stacked Supreme
Court placed the orange buffoon above the law, allowing him to cause further
damage to our nation.
KAMALA HARRIS IS THE ONLY AMERICAN RUNNING FOR THE
PRESIDENCY
We, the people, have an opportunity to make history and at
the same time save the future of our country. Let’s join together and ensure
that Kamala Harris becomes our nation’s first woman president.
