For its Labor Day evening programming, CNN ran hour-long documentaries on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump that sought to explain where each candidate stands on the issues and their records. If Harris wants to campaign on abortion, she might not need to anymore because the Harris episode heaped copious amounts of praise on her for her abortion activism. As part of the documentary, narrator Audie Cornish interviewed California Senator and Harris’s replacement, Laphonza Butler, and claimed, “It's interesting to me that she would embrace this, not for just the obvious reasons of being a woman politician, et cetera. But it is right at the moment when, in some states, abortion would be criminalized specifically, right? So now, it makes sense that the prosecutor wants to jump in.”     Butler, naturally, also hyped Harris’s reaction to Roe v. Wade’s demise, “The rolling back of Roe was an abject attack on people, women who actually needed to get reproductive care and so, her comments about “how dare they,” the rejection of this sentiment that other people, men, can make decisions about what rights women have about their own bodies. And so, when those rights were stripped away, of course, the prosecutor in her showed up.” CNN political commentator and former Harris communications director Jamal Simmons added, “That's the place where her legal mind really kicked in and she saw how the implication of this decision would go into so many other areas of Americans' lives that maybe most people didn't anticipate.” Later, Cornish recalled Harris’s visit to a Planned Parenthood and told another former Harris communications director, Ashley Etienne, that, “Visiting a clinic, that's something politically that was seen as like a fascinating moment.” Etienne was happy to provide her former boss with some more praise, “Yes, and she also took the message into those suburban areas that we typically don't go into.” After Cornish added that Tim Walz joined her on that trip, former CNN White House reporter and current NOTUS reporter Jasmine Wright observed, “Walz really impressed her by being by her side in that moment. And so, I think it is a doubling down on the understanding that this campaign is in so many ways about reproductive rights.” While the abortion portion of the documentary was the most gushing, there were other moments as well. On the border, Cornish played a 2021 clip of Harris in Guatemala where she declared, “I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border, do not come, do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.”     Cornish then asked Etienne what Harris’s reaction was to “how that was received.” Etienne claimed, “It wasn't well-received coming from the daughter of immigrants and a Black woman. So, that was a moment in which I think we realize that, okay we have to talk about these things differently, although its the company line. We can't toe that line in the same way that Joe Biden can.” Lastly, Cornish harkened back to the early days of the Biden administration and the fight over so-called “voting rights.” Earlier in the program, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy suggested that if Democrats win both houses of Congress, they could eliminate the filibuster, and now he added, “Kamala is committed to voting rights and democracy reform, and I think it's actually going to be essential that she run on that message.” While “democracy reform” may be an all-time euphemism, New York Times national politics reporter Astead Herndon didn’t see what the problem was, “If those things don't happen, then the possibility of passage of things like voting rights completely evaporate.” Voting rights will not evaporate if Democrats fail to win a trifecta in November. That’s hysterical fearmongering from CNN under the guise of a documentary.  Here is a transcript for the September 2 show: CNN The Whole Story With Anderson Cooper: Where Harris Stands: Fight for the White House 9/2/2024 8:13 PM ET AUDIE CORNISH: It's interesting to me that she would embrace this, not for just the obvious reasons of being a woman politician, et cetera. But it is right at the moment when, in some states, abortion would be criminalized specifically, right? So now, it makes sense that the prosecutor wants to jump in. LAPHONZA BUTLER: The rolling back of Roe was an abject attack on people, women who actually needed to get reproductive care and so, her comments about “how dare they,” the rejection of this sentiment that other people, men, can make decisions about what rights women have about their own bodies. And so, when those rights were stripped away, of course, the prosecutor in her showed up. JAMAL SIMMONS: That's the place where her legal mind really kicked in and she saw how the implication of this decision would go into so many other areas of Americans' lives that maybe most people didn't anticipate. … CORNISH: Visiting a clinic, that's something politically that was seen as like a fascinating moment. ASHLEY ETIENNE: Yes, and she also took the message into those suburban areas that we typically don't go into. CORNISH: With her on that tour, her future running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. JASMINE WRIGHT: Walz really impressed her by being by her side in that moment. And so, I think it is a doubling down on the understanding that this campaign is in so many ways about reproductive rights. KAMALA HARRIS: We trust women to know what is in their best interests and not have their government telling them what to do. ASTEAD HERNDON: Abortion rights are quite literally on the ballot and so for a lot of people that is going to be just as motivating for a reason to come to the polls as anything else. … CORNISH: Her first official trip abroad as vice president, Guatemala in June of 2021. She talked about the role of women and economic development there. But Harris also delivered a stark message. HARRIS: I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border, do not come, do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border. CORNISH: “Do not come, do not come” -- what was her reaction to how that was received? ETIENNE: It wasn't well-received coming from the daughter of immigrants and a Black woman. So, that was a moment in which I think we realize that, okay we have to talk about these things differently, although its the company line. We can't toe that line in the same way that Joe Biden can. … CORNISH: Despite an aggressive campaign from Vice President Harris and President Biden, Congress failed to pass the voting rights bills. HARRIS: The motion is not agreed to. HERNDON: So rather than being a signature accomplishment, I think the issue functioned in the first couple years as a signature failure. CORNISH: Harris promises as president, she'll keep pushing. HARRIS: When I am president, we are going to finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. MURPHY: Kamala is committed to voting rights and democracy reform, and I think it's actually going to be essential that she run on that message. CORNISH: But passing any voting rights legislation likely comes down to winning both the House and the Senate. HERNDON: If those things don't happen, then the possibility of passage of things like voting rights completely evaporate.

In a blockbuster front-page story for Tuesday’s print edition, Larry Celona, Marie Pohl, Carl Campanile, Kevin Sheehan, and Chris Nesi of the indefatigable New York Post revealed that illegal immigration has overwhelmed far-left New York City with illegals looking to inflict chaos on our country sources told them “a staggering estimate that” illegal immigrants constitute “as many as 75%” of those “arrest[ed] in Midtown Manhattan”. The five reporters explained the arrests included charges for violent crimes like “assault, robbery, and domestic violence”. Over in Queens, their sources told them the percentage of arrests involving illegals are “more than 60%”. They added these figures are “far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged” and, not surprisingly, “Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.” “The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases in which they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders,” they continued. Crucially, they also had sources tell them that “word has gotten out in the shelters about the city’s lax bail guidelines — meaning migrants know they’re going to get kicked back onto the street quickly after they’re nabbed.” Here were just three examples from their article: Jefferson Maldenado, a 31-year-old migrant from Ecuador, has been arrested in New York City five times since arriving in the US earlier this year. His latest bust was for stealing a pair of pants and a beer from the Target near Herald Square. (....) Venezuelan migrant Yurlex Daniel Guzman Quintero was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Aug. 28, accused of a deplorable act of sexual abuse against his girlfriend in which he viciously choked her and held a knife to her head. Court documents allege it all happened in front of her child. The same day, migrant Dionisio Moran Flores was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court for allegedly raping his 5-year-old daughter. He was ordered held on $150,000 bail. To read the rest of their excellent work of journalism, click here.

North Korea, China, Venezuela, Brazil, Canada, Australia, the European Union and the United Kingdom have each shown what they are willing to do to their citizens, and in some cases social media users abroad, if they dare disagree with their respective governments’ official narrative. If elected, will Vice President Kamala Harris’s America be so different?  Democratic nominee for president Harris has publicly advocated for taking away the free speech rights of her political rival Donald Trump on at least five separate occasions. In 2019, then-Senator and presidential candidate Harris (D-CA) mounted a campaign against her would-be opponent Trump, asking Twitter to suspend his account. MRC Free Speech America researchers have found five times where Harris pushed for election-interfering censorship of Trump.  Her censorship campaign began with Trump’s tweets reacting to allegations brought against him during the largely partisan impeachment proceedings in 2019. Trump was accused of abusing his power as president by urging the Ukrainian government to investigate the Biden family and their ties to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma allegedly in exchange for access to Trump.  Trump’s tweets questioned how a whistleblower acquired alleged information and called out the lead prosecutor in the investigation, Rep. Adam Shiff (D-CA). Harris saw the free speech of her political rival as grounds for censorship.  On September 30, 2019 Kamala Harris outright said that Twitter should censor Trump on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360. “I, frankly, think that based on [Trump’s tweets] and all we’ve seen him do before, including attacking members of Congress, that he, frankly, hisTwitter account should be suspended,” she said. “I think there is plenty of, of now evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people, and so the privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken from him.” [Emphasis added.]  She added that if Trump did not show “self-restraint, then perhaps there should be other mechanisms in place to make sure that his harm, his words do not, in fact, harm anyone.” Later that same night, Harris doubled down in a tweet that read: “Look let's be honest, @realDonaldTrump 's Twitter account should be suspended.” [Emphasis added.] The very next day, Harris sent a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey explicitly asking him to consider censoring the sitting president of the United States. She–like many others in government at that time, as The Twitter Files have revealed–reached out allegedly to highlight content that seemed to violate Twitter’s Terms of Service.  Showing her disdain for America’s first principles, Harris cited past examples of the platform censoring users she disagreed with, arguing that Trump’s account should also be on the chopping block. “In the past, Twitter has banned or suspended people who have violated its user agreement,” she said. She went on in the letter:  “InfoWars host Alex Jones was permanently banned from the platform in 2018 for spreading disinformation and inciting violence. Disgraced hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli and actor James Woods were both suspended from Twitter for using the platform to harass and spread hateful messages. I believe the President’s recent tweets rise to the level that Twitter should consider suspending his account. Others have had their accounts suspended for less offensive behavior. And when this kind of abuse is being spewed from the most powerful office in the United States, the stakes are too high to do nothing,” [emphasis added]. On October 15, Twitter responded to some of Harris’s concerns in a blog post, pointing to its policy on why it does not censor world leaders.  “[I]f a Tweet from a world leader does violate the Twitter Rules but there is a clear public interest value to keeping the Tweet on the service, we may place it behind a notice that provides context about the violation and allows people to click through should they wish to see the content,” the platform wrote. That same day, Harris did not let up on her requests for Twitter to censor, not once but twice. During the CNN-New York Times Democrat presidential primary debate, Harris attempted to get Senator and then-presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to join her in asking Twitter to suspend Trump’s account. “I was surprised to hear that you did not agree with me on this subject of what should be the rules of corporate responsibility for these Big Tech companies when I called on Twitter to suspend Donald Trump’s account,” she said. Harris later added, “he and his account should be taken down.” [Emphasis added.] She later took a different tactic when she went after Big Tech companies for not censoring him in a tweet falsely accusing Trump of crimes. “Trump's tweets incite violence, threaten witnesses, and obstruct justice,” she wrote. “We can't crack down on Facebook but turn a blind eye to Twitter. Big tech companies must be held accountable for how they allow him to abuse their platforms. #DemDebate.” [Emphasis added.] According to The Twitter Files parts four and five, Dorsey would later cave to Harris’s line of reasoning when his own staffers pressured him to let them censor Trump in 2021.  Conservatives are under attack.
