You know a Democrat candidate has said something bonkers when a CNN anchor is stunned by what was said.

That is what happened to CNN anchor Erin Burnett when she learned that Vice President Kamala Harris said on the record that she supports taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries for illegal immigrants.

“And this was a questionnaire that she filled out for the ACLU, and this questionnaire is really an interesting snapshot in time of that 2019 Democratic primary. Kamala Harris was trying to get to the left of Bernie Sanders. She was trying to get to the left of Elizabeth Warren and you really see that in a lot of these answers,” investigative reporter Andrew Kaczynski said.

“And I want to walk our viewers through a little bit of what she said. Let’s just take immigration and look at what she said here. She said on immigration, she made this open ended pledge the end immigrant detention. She said she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants,” the reporter said.

“She also said …,” he began before the incredulous host cut him off.

“Taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants, she actually said she supported that?” Burnett interjected.

“She both wrote and answered in the affirmative when she was asked this. And she said she also supported it for federal prisoners,” Kaczynski said of the vice president.

“Now, she also pledged to slash immigration detention by 50 percent, close all family and private facilities and decreased funding for ICE, and then the end ICE detainers with local law enforcement,” he added.

The host was still noticeably stunned by what she just heard so she said it again before moving on to new topics.

“I mean, these are — these are things that it would be hard to think that you would come up with — taxpayer funding gender transitions for detained migrants. And yet, as you say, written and verbally,” said Burnett.
