Harris: The First Amendment Must Take a Back Seat to This 'Fundamental Freedom' Guy Benson / Townhall Tipsheet
In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris lamented
America's divisive politics, arguing that her desire to 'turn the page'
is really about "closing the page" -- whatever that means -- on "an era
that suggests Americans are divided." It's true that Americans are
divided. Figures in both major political parties and across the
political spectrum bear some responsibility for that reality, including
both her and her opponent. Part of the polarization and acrimony is
stoked and fueled for cynical purposes. But a lot of it is simply a
reflection of profound differences on policies and values. Voters have
divergent views on what they want the country to look like, what sort of
leaders they want to wield power, and what our priorities should be.
Part of the genius of our founding is that America's system of
government was designed to push many important decisions on such matters
down to the state and local level, allowing people to shape their
communities in alignment with their values. This allows those
disaffected by what's happening around them to either seek and make
change close to home, or have an option to resettle in a community that
may be a better fit. Read more, see X and video here.
