On Monday, CNN’s Erin Burnett was visibly astounded by her colleague Andrew Kaczynski’s reporting on the far-left positions that Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris adopted during her presidential campaign in 2019.
Burnett asked Kaczynski “what else” he discovered after learning that Harris supports reducing ICE funds.
“And this was a questionnaire that she filled out for the ACLU. And this questionnaire is really an interesting snapshot in time of that 2019 Democratic primary, Kamala Harris was trying to get to the left of Bernie Sanders. She was trying to get to the left of Elizabeth Warren. And you really see that in a lot of these answers,” Kaczynski said.
“And I want to walk our viewers through a little bit of what she said. Let’s just take immigration and look at what she said here. She said on immigration, she made this open-ended pledge to end immigrant detention. She said she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants. She also said she-” he continued.
“Taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants? She actually said she supported that?” asked an astounded Burnett.
This is incredible…

“She wrote- both wrote and answered in the affirmative when she was asked this, and she said she also supported it for federal prisoners. Now, she also pledged to slash immigration detention by 50% and close all family and private facilities and decrease funding for ICE. And then the end ending and ICE detainers with local law enforcement,” Kaczynski replied.
“I mean, these are these are things that, you know, it would be hard to think that you would come up with — taxpayer funding gender transitions for detained migrants. And yet, as you say, written and and verbally. You know, what else did you find?” Burnett asked.
Kaczynski went on to say that during her 2019 campaign, Harris also voiced support for federally legalizing all drugs, including fentanyl, crack, and cocaine.
