<p>Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) skewered ABC News host Jonathan Karl during an interview on Sunday over false remarks that he made about Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; policy positions.</p>
<p>The remarks on the network&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; happened when Cotton correctly pointed out the numerous ways that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is different from Harris, who has supported &#8220;decriminalizing illegal immigration or giving taxpayer-funded health insurance to illegal aliens or taking away health insurance on the job for 170 million Americans, banning gas cars, confiscating firearms.&gt;</p>
<p>&#8220;What do you mean taking away health insurance?&#8221; Karl snapped at Cotton. &#8220;What are you talking about?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She said when she ran for president that she wants to eliminate private health insurance on the job of 170 million Americans, Jon,&#8221; Cotton correctly noted.</p>
<p>Karl responded by claiming that that position was &#8220;not her position now.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;How do you know that&#8217;s not her position? How do you know that&#8217;s not her position?&#8221; Cotton pressed.</p>
<p>Karl claimed that she no longer supports the position, which Harris has not indicated.</p>
<p>&#8220;She has not said that. She has not said that. She has not said that,&#8221; Cotton fired back. &#8220;Maybe anonymous aides on a Friday night have said that, but the last thing that she said &#8211;&#8221;</p>
<p>Karl cut off Cotton and claimed that Harris was &#8220;not taking the positions of the far left of her party.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s clearly making an effort to move to the middle,&#8221; Karl claimed.</p>
<p>Cotton noted that during Karl&#8217;s interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that Sanders was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; that Harris was trying to &#8220;hide her positions.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The American people are totally justified to conclude that Kamala Harris is a dangerous San Francisco liberal based on what she campaigned on the last time she ran for president and what this administration has done for the last four years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Again, you would have thought watching the Democratic convention last week that the Democrats are not in office, that they&#8217;re not in power, that they&#8217;re campaigning against an incumbent Republican, when in reality she&#8217;s been part of the failures of the Biden-Harris administration for four years. And when she campaigned for president in her own right, she did in fact promise things like decriminalizing illegal immigration, taking away —&#8221;</p>
<p>Karl again cut Cotton off, claiming that Harris has &#8220;clearly changed&#8221; her positions, which she has not.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, no, she has not,&#8221; Cotton fired back. &#8220;Jon, she has not said.&#8221;</p>
