Kamala Harris Faces Backlash for Supporting Taxpayer-Funded Prisoner Sex Changes

Kamala Harris Faces Backlash for Supporting Taxpayer-Funded Prisoner Sex Changes

During a recent Fox News interview with host Bret Baier on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris dodged a question on whether she supported taxpayer-funded prisoner sex changes. In a post on X, The Vigilant Fox, who is the editor-in-chief at Vigilant News, posted an ad made by the Trump-Vance campaign where Harris overtly expressed support for gender transition surgeries for prisoners.

"Every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access," Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, is shown saying in an interview at the National Center for Transgender Equality Action Fund, which was posted in the ad.

"So, are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender?" Baier asked Harris after showing her the clip of her comments.

In response, Harris dodged the question and turned it against Trump.

"I will follow the law, and it's a law that Donald Trump actually followed," she responded, in an apparent reference to a recent New York Times story that a small number of federal inmates received these kinds of procedures during Trump's first term as president.

"I think, frankly, that ad from the Trump campaign is a little bit of throwing stones when you're living in a glass house," she added. "You have to take responsibility for what happened in your administration."

Baier noted that Trump aids said that the former president never advocated for that policy when it came to gender transition surgeries in prison and that no such surgeries took place. Harris, however, said that it was Trump's responsibility since the alleged surgeries took place in his administration. 

When Harris was asked again on whether she supports taxpayer-funded prisoner sex changes, the vice president said that she would follow the law and argued that Trump spent $20 million on the ads to instill "a sense of fear in the voters" by featuring her words on the issue, The Christian Post reports. 

"He has no plan in this election that is about focusing on the needs of the American people whereas at $20 million on that ad on an issue that as it relates to the biggest issues that affect the American people is really quite remote and again his policy was no different," she said.
