This has enraged the left but it certainly is catchy.
In the ongoing presidential race, Republican nominee Donald Trump is leveraging Vice President Kamala Harris’ own statements to highlight concerns about her policy decisions, particularly regarding the use of taxpayer dollars for transgender surgeries for inmates.
On Sunday, Trump shared a striking campaign ad on Truth Social, emphasizing the message: “KAMALA’S AGENDA IS THEY/THEM — NOT YOU!” The ad features Harris discussing how she utilized her power to promote what she calls an important movement and agenda, making it clear that her priorities may not align with the interests of everyday Americans.
This issue has drawn attention from prominent Republicans, including billionaire and Trump supporter Elon Musk, who has voiced strong opposition to transgender surgeries for minors, citing personal experiences with gender dysphoria in his own family. Musk has stated that such ideologies contribute to a “woke mind virus” that can lead to devastating outcomes.
The ad begins by detailing a case involving a transgender inmate who committed a serious crime and subsequently received taxpayer-funded surgery. It points to Harris’ advocacy for using public funds to cover such procedures, framing it as a misuse of taxpayer resources.
In a recent interview, Harris attempted to deflect responsibility by claiming that her actions were in line with existing laws, asserting that the Trump administration had also provided for such surgeries under the premise of medical necessity. However, many conservatives argue that transitioning in prison is not a legitimate medical need but rather a way for inmates to manipulate the system, possibly gaining access to lower-security facilities.
The campaign ad underscores Harris’ earlier remarks, in which she proudly stated her commitment to ensuring that transgender inmates had access to necessary medical treatments, including surgeries. The narrator of the ad notes, “Kamala was the first to help pay for a prisoner’s sex change,” underscoring the absurdity of prioritizing these policies over the concerns of regular citizens.
The ad wraps up with a powerful reminder of Harris’ own words, driving home the point that her agenda prioritizes a radical movement over the needs of the American people. As the campaign continues, this issue is likely to resonate with voters who are concerned about the direction the Democratic Party is taking under leaders like Harris. Trump’s closing line, “Kamala’s agenda is they/them, not you,” encapsulates the Republican critique that the Democratic focus has strayed far from the interests of average Americans.
