Harris campaign criticizes Trump for 'brazen flip-flops' on marijuana

Source: ABC News

Days after Vice President Kamala Harris took questions on her changing views on policy, her campaign sent out a memo criticizing Donald Trump on his "brazen flip flops," including on marijuana reform, accusing the former president of "just making things up" ahead of the election.

Saturday morning, Trump signaled in a social media post he supports a ballot measure in Florida, where he lives, that would legalize marijuana recreationally. While calling for the state legislature to "prohibit the use of it in public spaces, so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go," Trump said, "someone should not be a criminal in Florida, when this is legal in so many other States."

"We do not need to ruin lives & waste Taxpayer Dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them, and no one should grieve a loved one because they died from fentanyl laced marijuana," Trump added.

The Harris campaign is framing Trump's support for the measure as another change in policy in a long line of "brazen flip-flops," according to a memo on Saturday, first obtained by ABC News.

"flip flops" can legitimately occur as times change or with personal experience or if someone gets more educated on a subject

you are correct, he is an opportunist who lies as easily as he breathes - there's nothing nuanced or educated about ANY of his positions, he's a useful fucking idiot to both Russia AND the greedy old pig party, a sick POS

He'll take every position you can on any given subject, depending on the day. I don't think the audience even plays into it for him - he doesn't think that critically (this is a more liberal area, I'll appear more liberal). He just says whatever he feels like saying that day, taking any position he wants.

Of course the media never calls him out on ANYTHING.
