Kamala Harris Declines to Clarify Stance on Taxpayer-Funded Gender Surgeries in Bret Baier Interview

Oct 16, 2024, 10:31 PM

In a recent Fox News interview with Bret Baier, Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly declined to clarify her stance on taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries for prisoners and illegal immigrants. Harris stated, 'I will follow the law,' and referenced the Trump administration's handling of the issue, citing the 8th amendment. Harris has previously advocated for such surgeries during her 2019 presidential campaign. The controversy stems from a New York Times report suggesting that the Trump administration's Bureau of Prisons conducted these surgeries, a claim disputed by Trump supporters who assert no surgeries occurred under his presidency.
