Kamala Surrogate On CNN Claims Harris Is 'Committed To The Values' of Muslim Voters
That Kamala Harris. She's sure got a lot of "values."
We're all familiar with her paradoxical claim that despite having flip-flopped on many positions—including her previous adamant desire to ban fracking and decriminalize illegal border crossings—her "values haven't changed."
Appearing on Sunday's CNN State of the Union, Harris surrogate Mark Kelly, a Dem senator from Arizona, professed Kamala's allegiance to the "values" of two disparate electoral groups.
Discussing Harris' poor polling among Latino voters in Arizona, Kelly told host Dana Bash that "Harrison-Walz are committed to their values."
Earlier in the show, Bash mentioned that Kelly was speaking from Dearborn, Michigan, with its large population of Muslims and Arab-Americans. Bash noted the "frustration" of many people there with the Biden-Harris' support for Israel, and asked Kelly for his message to voters there thinking of sitting out the election or voting Republican.
In reply, Kelly said that Muslim voters there shouldn't even think of voting Republican, and that—you guessed it—Harris "is committed to their values."
Which raises the question: just which values of those Muslim and Arab-American voters in Dearborn, and in the US at large, is Harris "committed to?"
Are they the "values" of Kamala's fellow Democrat, Abdullah H. Hammoud, the Mayor of Dearborn? In a New York Times "guest essay," Hammoud couldn't even bring himself to say the words, "the creation of the State of Israel." Instead, he used the Arabic term, the "nakba," meaning "catastrophe," to describe it.
Or could they be the "values" of Tareq Baconi, the head of the Palestinian Policy Network, who in his New York Times "guest essay"--see a pattern here?--said the only realistic solution for the area is "from the river to the sea" -- meaning the total destruction of the Jewish state of Israel?
Or what about the "values" of American Muslims at large, a majority of whom, according to this study, believe that Hamas' October 7 terror attack on Israel was "justified."
So, just which of those Muslim/Arab-American "values" does Kamala support? American voters are dying to know!
Note: As you'll see in the video, Kelly's tone was very condescending to Muslim voters in telling them "they shouldn't be considering [sitting out or voting Republican.] They should be voting for Kamala Harris."
Here's the transcript.

DANA BASH: Senator, you are in Dearborn, Michigan right now. There is a large Arab-American population there, very open about its frustration with the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel's retaliatory war in Gaza. Tensions are even higher because a U.S. citizen from Dearborn was killed as part of an Israeli strike in Lebanon.
What is your message to Muslim and Arab-American voters there who are seriously considering either sitting out this election or voting Republican?
MARK KELLY: Well, they shouldn't be considering that. They should be voting for Kamala Harris. I mean, she is committed to their values. She met with them, many in the Muslim and the Arab community here earlier in the week to talk about the issues that they care about. And certainly, peace in the Middle East is at the top of the list.
And the American citizen that was killed in Lebanon, you know, that is tragic. Kamala Harris also understands that loss of life in any conflict, innocent loss of life, is a tragic situation. And I know she's the person that's ready to deal with this on day one.
