Right now the liberal Main Stream Media (MSM) is somehow trying to dispute that Kamala Harris was ever the “Border Czar” despite multiple past referrals to her as such in/on the same MSM.
Now although she was never formally designated as the EV Czar, perhaps those of us who prefer the freedom of choosing what kind of car we want to purchase and drive should shift our focus to “Kamala, the EV Czar.”
From The Washington Free Beacon:
“During her 2020 presidential campaign, Harris vowed to implement climate policies ensuring 50 percent of all new passenger vehicles sold are EVs by 2030 and 100 percent are EVs by 2035, an archived copy of her campaign website shows. She also backed a mandate requiring all new vehicle purchases for corporate fleets, transportation networks, and heavy-duty vehicles be electric by 2030.
Months after she announced in January 2019 that she would run for president, Harris also cosponsored the so-called Zero-Emission Vehicles Act, a bill that was later modified to include language mandating 43 percent of car sales are electric by 2027 and 100 percent are electric by 2035.”
Granted that while it is unlikely that I will be around by 2035 and it is also extremely unlikely that I will be driving in 2035, I still want the freedom to drive the type of car that I desire, and that is only one reason the I will not vote for the “Kamala, the EV Czar.” Apparently I am not alone.
A poll conducted earlier this month by Remington Research Group on behalf of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, which opposes EV mandates, found that 59 percent or more of likely voters in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin oppose bans on gas-powered cars in their states, which will likely determine the winner of the election.
Larger majorities in those states reported that a candidate’s position on stopping bans on new gas cars would be an important factor in their vote.
“This new polling underscores what we have been hearing from the American people of all political stripes for months—that they do not want the government banning gas cars, mandating electric vehicles or imposing regulations that restrict access to the types of cars that best meet a family’s needs and budget,” American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers president Chet Thompson said at the time.
Soon the MSM will be denying that Kamala was ever gung-ho on EV mandates … reminiscent of what those in charge were doing in George Orwell’s “1984.”
