Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign claims that the Democrat will not ban fracking if she becomes president this fall despite her pledging to do exactly that when she campaigned for the nation’s highest office during the 2020 presidential race.

“She wants no fracking,” former President Donald Trump told supporters this week during a rally in North Carolina. “You’re going to be paying a lot of money. You’re going to be paying so much. You’re going to say ‘bring back Trump.’”

The Harris campaign responded to Trump’s remarks by saying: “Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class.”

However, the then-U.S. Senator from California — who was rated as the most far-left Democrat in the Senate — stated unequivocally while campaigning for office in 2020 that she would outright ban fracking.

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” she told an audience member during a CNN town hall event in 2019. “And starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, and there has to be legislation. That’s something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue, and to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities.”

During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon in 2019, she called climate change the “single greatest threat” facing the world and said she was committed to passing the extreme Green New Deal and “finally putting an end to fracking once and for all.”
