In case you missed it, Kamala Harris has done a totally unpredictable, not-at-all foreseeable about-face on federally mandated busing since stating last week that “there’s no question that the federal government has a roe and a responsibility to step up”:

Harris says busing should be considered, not mandated, after hitting Biden for not backing mandate. W/ ⁦@ajjaffe⁩ https://t.co/4VDkAdtrft — Tom Beaumont (@TomBeaumont) July 4, 2019

We’re shocked that she’d flip-flop like that. Absolutely shocked!

Wow, I thought @SenKamalaHarris only flip flopped on the medical insurance debate, good to see she is adding new issues that she is willing to flip flop on. — Scot (@slraider) July 4, 2019

Nice of her to adopt Biden’s position after the damage is done. — Hooplaforever (@hooplaforever) July 4, 2019

This is why this hit was always weak. Harris hit Biden for not backing a very unpopular and bad policy idea. That only makes sense if you back the idea yourself, but then you have to defend it. https://t.co/9OD0m1mxK3 — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) July 4, 2019

I mean she basically accused him of being a segregationist for opposing the very policy she is now also opposing… — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) July 4, 2019

Basically, yes.

Exposed as an opportunistic phony. Sad. — Chris D. Jackson (@ChrisDJackson) July 4, 2019

But if you think the AP was willing to go the extra mile and call her out over this, think again. As National Review’s Kyle Smith points out, the AP found a way to run interference for Harris even after exposing her as the opportunistic phony she is:

So @ap doing a heroic job covering for Kamala here, just pretending she didn’t say what she said, because she wishes she hadn’t said it. pic.twitter.com/o1VdcXIbeR — Kyle Smith (@rkylesmith) July 4, 2019

Just the definition of gaslighting here @ap pic.twitter.com/U59ebIaTYQ — Kyle Smith (@rkylesmith) July 4, 2019

Pathetic.

“Appeared to support” Kamala: “That’s where the federal government must step in.” Yes that sure requires the “appeared” descriptor lol. — Just My Thoughts (@JustMyOpinions4) July 4, 2019

They really are shameless. Just like Harris.

This is what the next few months of media coverage of Dems will bring: spectacularly bad ideas brought up by the candidates, media helps them clean up the mess — Kyle Smith (@rkylesmith) July 4, 2019

So we’ve got that to look forward to.
