It was a Gateway Pundit commentary that bluntly cited Harris’ decision to alter the nation’s foundation document.
“Kamala’s grotesque omission from Declaration of Independence in pro-abortion speech: We’re guaranteed ‘the right to liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!’ Whoa, what happened to the right to ‘life?'”
