If anyone was uncertain about how fake Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is, CNN has the answer.

The network’s K-File department discovered two separate ads, one in Pennsylvania and one in Michigan, with two distinctly different messages on the war between Israel and Hamas.

Investigative journalist Andrew Kaczynski, who operates  K-File, spoke to anchor Erin Burnett to speak about the “fine line that the Harris campaign is trying to walk” to attract Arab voters in Michigan and Jewish voters in Pennsylvania.

The chyron on the network said “HARRIS CAMPAIGN’S MESSAGE ON ISREAL-GAZA DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE” as they played clips of the two ads.

“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent,” the vice president said in the ad that airs in Michigan.

“Well, it’s a very different story for an ad in Pennsylvania targeting Jewish voters,” the anchor said.

“Let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7th,” the vice president said in the Pennsylvania ad designed to attract Jewish voters.

Kaczynski spoke about how far apart the two ads are and the struggle for the vice president.

“Look, this really illustrates the sort of fine line that the Harris campaign is trying to walk here in the closing weeks closing days of this campaign on the issue of Israel. Here you have two entirely different constituencies, and they are getting two entirely different messages there. Oftentimes, these constituencies have very opposing views on this,” the reporter said.

“If you are a Jewish person in Pennsylvania, you saw that ad that you’re getting. You are getting that ad that talks about how strong, strong she is in Israel. If you’re a Muslim voter in Michigan, you are getting that ad on Facebook that’s talking about talking about how she won’t be silent on the issue of Gaza. Now, what’s really interesting here is that ad that we that we just played, the one that’s going to judge Jewish voters in Pennsylvania,” he said.

He said that the ad in Pennsylvania was edited by the Democratic National Committee and removed her words of support for Palestinians.

The vice president is struggling with Arab voters which is the reason that she needs to walk the tightrope.

And last week she did not get a key endorsement from a top Michigan Democrat.

Democrat Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib said she will not endorse the Democrat nominee as she takes on former President Donald Trump, The Detroit News reported.

On Friday, at a United Auto Workers union rally, the firebrand Democrat would not endorse the vice president and decided to focus on the other votes on the ticket.

“Don’t underestimate the power you all have,” the representative said. “More than those ads, those lawn signs, those billboards, you all have more power to turn out people that understand we’ve got to fight back against corporate greed in our country.”

“We’ve got to make sure that the nonpartisan part of the ballot gets filled in,” she said.

She also attacked the Republican nominee for president, former President Donald Trump, in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

“Trump is a proud Islamophobe + serial liar who doesn’t stand for peace,” she said. “The reality is that the Biden admin’s unconditional support for genocide is what got us here. This should be a wake-up call for those who continue to support genocide. This election didn’t have to be close.”

A fellow “Squad” member, New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was with her at the rally where she did endorse the vice president.
