Fact Check: Harris Campaign Admits It Lied About Trump

The Harris campaign has repeatedly tried to falsely tie President
Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, to the Heritage Foundation’s
Project 2025, earning the campaign fact-checks from multiple
organizations.
At a rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Harris criticized Trump and “his extreme Project 2025 agenda.”
Harris then said, “Can you believe they put that thing in writing?
Read it. It’s 900 pages. But here’s the thing. When you read it, you
will see Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare. He
intends to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations and make
working families foot the bill. They intend to end the Affordable Care
Act. And take us back, then, to a time when insurance companies had the
power to deny people with pre-existing conditions.”
This is despite the fact that Trump himself has publically distanced
himself from it and pointed out that his platform is called Agenda 47.
CNN, of all places, fact-checked the Harris campaign and noted that the Harris campaign has “made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump’s policies” as “Project 2025.”
From CNN:
Facts First: One of Harris’ claims about Project 2025 is false, while another is at least misleading. The Project 2025 document does
not show that Trump intends to cut Social Security; the document barely
discusses Social Security at all and does not propose cuts to the
program. In addition, contrary to Harris’ suggestion, Project 2025 does
not call to “end” the Affordable Care Act or eliminate its protections
for people with pre-existing conditions. The document does criticize the
Affordable Care Act, especially the law’s expansion of Medicaid, but
makes clear it is advocating changes to the law rather than terminating
the law entirely.
A
Harris campaign official said the campaign has “made a deliberate
decision to brand all of Trump’s policies” as “Project 2025,” since they
believe “it has stuck with voters.” After the initial publication of
this article, a Harris campaign spokesperson, Joseph Costello, added,
“Project 2025 is a blueprint for many of the dangerous policies we know
that a second Trump term would include, and it is indisputable that in
his first term, Donald Trump repeatedly tried to cut Social Security and end the Affordable Care Act.”
Rob Bluey at The Daily Signal
points out, “Another fact-check article, published Wednesday by VERIFY,
a website devoted to stopping the spread of false information, debunked
a myth that Project 2025 called for the elimination of individualized education plans, commonly known as IEPs.”
USA Today
also fact-checked the Harris campaign, saying, “Project 2025 is a
political playbook created by the Heritage Foundation and dozens of
other conservative groups, not Trump, who said he disagrees with
elements of the effort.”
Reporter Ben Domenech took to social media to chastise the Harris
campaign for trying to falsely tie V.P. nominee J.D. Vance to Project
2025, ” The Harris campaign is falsely representing this interview,
which took place before Vance even announced a run for the Senate and
years before Project 2025 existed. I know this because I’m the
interviewer.”
