Kamala Harris is drawing criticism for guaranteeing 'I will always tell you the truth' during her campaign speech Tuesday night
Kamala Harris promised to 'always tell you the truth' on Tuesday - sparking immediate backlash from voters who cited her litany of whoppers.
The Democratic candidate was delivering her 'closing argument' speech in Washington D.C. exactly one week before Election Day when she caused outrage over her truth-challenged past.
'Why lie about McDonald's? Why lie about border czar? Doesn't she know we can fact check her? She lies!' one person posted on X.
Trump's campaign also chimed in, pointing out that the vice president has barely cited her role in the current administration while vying for the Oval Office gig.
'She can't even acknowledge that she's been in charge of the country for the last 3.5 years,' the campaign wrote.
Speaking at The Ellipse, Harris reminded the crowd that Trump stood 'at this very spot' on January 6 to 'incite' a mob to storm the Capitol.
Harris wanted Americans to visualize their two possible futures if either herself or Trump takes over the Oval Office in less than three months.
'I will always tell you the truth even if it is difficult to hear,' the vice president told the crowd.
Her pledge to honesty was a surprise to many on social media, who pointed out a slew of statements that received a major dose of scrutiny.
Some voters pointed out that Harris claimed she was never declared 'border czar' by Joe Biden and Harris.
Others complained she has not been able to provide material proof she ever worked at the fast food chain.
'She covered up Joe Biden's mental decline for years and still denies that there's anything wrong with him,' wrote another.
A poll in July revealed a majority of Americans believe Harris was part of a cover-up to protect Biden's aging and senility from being revealed.
Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign national press secretary, said the vice president was lying about her record in order to avoid taking responsibility for Biden's record.
'Kamala Harris is lying, name-calling, and clinging to the past to avoid admitting the truth — the migrant crime crisis, sky-high inflation, and raging world wars are the result of her terrible policies,' she said.
The vice president called Donald Trump ‘unstable’ and slammed his 'obsession' with 'grievance' and 'revenge,' seven days before what could be one of the closest races in history.

Noting her background as a prosecutor, the campaign pointed out she has laid out the evidence and the facts and was not ready to make her final pitch.
The central argument of that pitch is that she is not Donald Trump.
'I offer a different path. And I ask for your vote,' she said.
'I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress. I pledge to listen to experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make. And two people who disagree with me - unlike Donald Trump - I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail I'll give them a seat at the table,' she said.
'I pledge to be a president for all Americans.'
And she referenced her childhood as the daughter of immigrants.
'I've lived the promise of America. I saw how hard our mother worked to give her daughters the same chances this country gave her. Growing up, I was blessed to have family by blood and family by love who instilled in me the values of community, compassion, and faith. They have always defined our nation at its best.'
Harris attacked Donald Trump from the start, criticizing him for his response to the insurrection on January 6th.

'Donald Trump sat in the White House, watching as the violence unfolded on television,’ she said.
‘He was told by his staff that the mob wanted to kill his own vice president and Donald Trump responded with two words: so what?’
‘And that's who is asking you to give him another four years in the Oval Office,’ she added.

Does that mean she is lying now, was lying before, or is lying about not lying any more? Or all of the above?
