Campaign staffers say presidential candidate Kamala Harris has reversed her 2019 pledge to ban plastic straws for climate change.
“I think we should, yes,” she said. “I mean, look, I’m going to be honest: It’s really difficult to drink out of a paper straw — like, if you don’t gulp it down immediately, it starts to bend, and then the little thing catches it. So, we gotta kind of perfect that one a little bit more.”“Innovation is a process. But you know, let’s encourage innovation. I think we can do a little better than some of those flimsy plastic straws,” she said. “We do need to ban the plastic.
“Banning plastic straws to protect the environment and marine life is the latest progressive issue on which Harris and her campaign have either declined to comment or changed her position,”Many parts of the country have banned plastic straws as concerns have grown about plastic pollution in oceans and waterways,” it added.
When confronted by Dana Bash with her past statements, Harris said that she never pledged to ban fracking.
