Vice President Kamala Harris lied on Thursday during her first interview as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee about her past remarks on her support for banning fracking.

Harris made the false claim during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash when asked about her support for the multi-trillion dollar Green New Deal and her pledge in 2019 when she said: “There is no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”

When asked if she still supported banning fracking, Harris responded: “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.”

Bash highlighted Harris’s 2019 remarks about her unequivocal support for a ban on fracking, to which Harris responded: “In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word.”

When asked why she changed her view, Harris said to be “clear” that her “values have not changed.”

However, Harris lied about what she said on the debate stage in 2020.

Harris dropped out of the 2020 presidential race in late 2019 — before any of the voting in the primary started — after failing to get any traction among voters.

After then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden picked her as his running mate, she appeared in one vice presidential debate against Mike Pence in October 2020.

During that debate, Harris never stated that she would not ban fracking; she said that Biden would not ban fracking.

“Joe Biden will not end fracking,” Harris said. “He has been very clear about that.”

Several minutes later, Harris said: “Alright, so first of all, I will repeat, and the American people know, that Joe Biden will not ban fracking. That is a fact.”
