Vice President Kamala Harris’ team has already shown that it might become one of the most dishonest campaigns in recent history. The candidate’s campaign has already told a myriad of whoppers about its political opponents, but the latest might just be one of the most egregious.
X account Kamala’s Wins posted a video on Saturday with a video of an interview with Republican vice presidential candidate Senator JD Vance (R-OH). In the post, the account claimed Vance “completely endorses Project 2025” in the video.

In the video, Vance can be heard saying that Republicans must become more aggressive in Congress, when it comes to pursuing the party’s agenda.
I think the thing that we have to take away from the last 10 years is that we really need to be really ruthless when it comes to the exercise of power. I was talking about this with someone earlier today, where you remember there was some threat that congressional or Senate Republicans made. If you get rid of the filibuster, we’re going to do x, y, and z. And you actually look at it, it’s like, well, this is not that interesting. We’re going to actually deliver on our promise that we’ve made for decades.
Vance also addressed Democrats’ threats to do away with the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court. The senator went on to discuss how conservatives have “lost every major powerful institution in the country, except for maybe churches and religious institutions.”
We have lost big business. We’ve lost finance, we’ve lost the culture. We’ve lost the academy. And if we’re going to actually really affect real change in the country, it will require us completely replacing the existing ruling class with another ruling class. I say that knowing and hearing myself. It sounds really hard. It is really hard. But I don’t think there’s, like a detente with these people. I don’t think there’s sort of a compromise that we’re going to come with the people who currently actually control the country. Unless we overthrow them in some way, we’re going to keep losing. And that’s the challenge
What was missing from Vance’s comments was any mention of Project 2025, which has become the left’s new bugaboo over recent months, a fact that conservative commentator Ben Domenech, who conducted the interview, quickly pointed out. Even further, this conversation took place in 2021, before Project 2025 was ever created:
The Harris campaign is falsely representing this interview, which took place before Vance even announced a run for the Senate and years before Project 2025 existed. I know this because I’m the interviewer. https://t.co/aoiUN1zfhS

This latest lie appears to be part of Team Harris’ overall strategy which involves deceptively fearmongering about Project 2025 ad nauseam, according to the Daily Signal. Indeed, Harris’ campaign essentially admitted that this is an integral part of the vice president’s strategy.
A campaign official essentially confessed that her team is deliberately misleading voters by branding all of Trump’s policies as “Project 2025.” The deceitful nature of the approach was apparently so egregious that even CNN has fact-checked Harris’ ridiculous claims.
Project 2025 is a set of policy proposals compiled by The Heritage Foundation as a transition plan for a Republican administration. Folks on the left have been using their false representations of the plan to link it to former President Donald Trump in the hopes of scaring people into voting against him. However, if this new lie is any indication, they aren’t doing a very good job of it so far.
