Trump Campaign Ad Misleads on Harris Tax Plan
A new Trump ad falsely claims Vice President Kamala Harris will raise taxes on families by $2,600, using selective editing and misleading statistics.
- The Trump campaign ad selectively edits Kamala Harris's 2019 statement, omitting key words to suggest she plans to raise taxes broadly.
- The ad inaccurately cites a New York Times article, removing context that Harris's tax proposals target the wealthiest Americans and large corporations.
- A claim that Harris's plan would raise taxes by $2,600 annually is based on a misrepresentation of a Tax Foundation analysis unrelated to her proposals.
- Harris has consistently pledged not to raise taxes on individuals earning less than $400,000, contrary to the ad's implications.
- The Washington Post awarded the ad 'Four Pinocchios' for its misleading claims, highlighting the campaign's use of deceptive tactics.
