The Democrats are 14 minutes into their debate and Bernie Sanders has already promised to raise taxes, but Kamala Harris says she’s going to repeal that GOP tax scam that only benefitted the 1 percent, and she’s going to do it on Day 1 of her presidency.
For far too long, the rules have been written for big corporations and the 1%. It’s time we change that. On Day One I will repeal the Trump tax scam and give working families the largest tax cut in a generation. #DemDebate

.@KamalaHarris: On day one, I will repeal Trump tax cuts.
Again, a candidate goes after Trump.

She’s a senator, right? She knows how this all works.
Kamala Harris says she will "repeal" the tax reform bill on day one as president, to applause. Unclear what she is trying to say she would do.

Kamala Harris says she will repeal Trump's tax bill on Day One. This would require Congress, which won't act in one day, if ever.

I don't think she understands how laws work.

Can’t repeal without Congress.

How on earth will Harris “repeal that tax bill” on “Day One” of her presidency? Presidents don’t have that power.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) June 28, 2019
She'll arrest Congress

So, a dictator on day one. Got it.

Presidents dont "repeal" laws. Only Congress can do that. How does she guarantee what Congress will or will not do?

By executive order? Really?

She'll repeal it in her mind.

She’ll use the magical pixie dust.

Didn’t know a President could repeal a law, especially in one day.
— Al Whitaker (@WhitakerAl) June 28, 2019
Presidents don’t repeal laws. Does K Harris not know this? Does she think democrat voters are that stupid?
— Michael Pollock (@JayPollock9) June 28, 2019
Please don't confuse the Dems with facts.

Someone should say they're going to Mars on Day One

The message is pretty clear; every one of these Democrats really, really wants to raise your taxes.

Update:
She’s gonna have a busy first day, and she won’t even be inaugurated until noon.
Harris says she will release children and immigrants in centers on day one. Cool, where are they going?
