The border czar flap was just the beginning.
Vice President Kamala Harris is carefully editing the public record to excise inconvenient parts of her time serving with President Joe Biden and the more controversial policy positions she took in her first run for the White House.
Sympathetic media have been willing to aid in this effort, retroactively correcting years-old references to Harris as border czar in their own reporting and contextualizing her discarded policy positions as the product of a progressive Democratic fever in 2019-20 that has since broken.
One news report about Harris’s revised position on fracking initially framed it as a response to a Republican accusation rather than a Harris reversal. (The headline was later updated.) Another lamented the “border confusion” that “haunts” Harris since she effectively took over as the top of the 2024 Democratic ticket.
Some in the liberal intelligentsia go further, arguing that an inherent advantage of bypassing a competitive, small-d democratic primary process this time around means that a new platform can be fashioned for the general election only.
