‘Let Me Introduce You To Kamala Harris’: CNN’s Jennings Spars With Dem Claiming Vance Is ‘Inconsistent’ On Values

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings pushed back against Christine Quinn, the executive committee chair of the New York State Democratic Committee, who criticized Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance on Wednesday for allegedly changing his positions on abortion.

Quinn argued that Vance appeared “inconsistent” on abortion as he claimed to have never supported a national ban on the debate stage Tuesday night. Jennings called out Quinn’s contradictory statement by noting that Vice President Kamala Harris has changed several key policy positions that she held during her time in the U.S. Senate and as a 2020 presidential candidate.

“I’m still waiting for the real J.D. Vance to get on the stage and participate in the debate, because what we saw last night was a very sanitized J.D. Vance and someone who on critical issues like abortion, like the transfer of power, like all of that, didn’t really tell the truth and stepped away from many other things that he has said on the record, like being for a national ban against abortion,” Quinn said. “The number of positions that Vance and Trump are taking and have taken on abortion, it’s head spinning. And when someone is inconsistent on a critical, values issue like that, you know you can’t believe them and you know they’re just pivoting to get women in that case.”

“Just to make sure I understand correctly, if a candidate for president or vice president changes a position on a critical issue or a critical values matter, even one position, this calls into question for you their fitness to serve, because let me introduce you to Kamala Harris, who has changed every single position she took when she ran for president in 2020,” Jennings said.
