Well, folks, it looks like Vice President Kamala Harris has once again stepped in it with her latest tweet about abortion. Harris, always eager to flaunt her pro-abortion credentials, decided to hop on X (formerly Twitter) and tell the world that “one does not have to abandon their faith” to support abortion. Really, Kamala? Because Tony Dungy—yes, that Tony Dungy, the Hall of Fame NFL coach and a man who actually walks the walk when it comes to faith—wasn’t having it.
“One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree: The government, and certainly Donald Trump, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” Kamala said.
Dungy, in a rare moment of public political engagement, called her out in a simple but devastating question: “Exactly what ‘faith’ are you talking about?” He went on to cite actual scripture—Genesis 1:26, Jeremiah 1:5, you know, the ones about God creating life and all that stuff Harris seems to forget when she’s preaching from her progressive pulpit. Dungy wasn’t playing games; he asked if she was talking about the Christian faith that values life or some watered-down, feel-good version of faith that lets people do whatever they want and calls it “moral.”
Harris, of course, didn’t respond. But why would she? It’s not like she has a solid answer. She’s too busy promising to proudly sign a bill reinstating Roe v. Wade protections if she becomes president. Yeah, because nothing says “protect life” like ensuring more of it gets snuffed out before it even begins.
And then there’s the cherry on top: Harris trying to score political points by exploiting the tragic death of Amber Thurman. She blamed the end of Roe v. Wade and what she called “Trump Abortion Bans,” saying it prevented doctors from giving Thurman basic medical care. Except, oops, former NFL player Benjamin Watson stepped in with a fact check. Thurman’s death wasn’t caused by pro-life laws, but by medical malpractice—delayed care for complications from legal abortion drugs. So much for Harris’s talking points.
Watson made it clear that Georgia’s law doesn’t criminalize necessary medical procedures, but apparently facts are too inconvenient for Harris when there’s a political narrative to push. Instead of acknowledging the real issues and working to prevent future tragedies, she’s out there spreading misinformation. Maybe she should spend less time attacking Trump and more time getting her facts straight.
But Harris’s tone-deaf approach didn’t stop there. She even claimed Trump’s abortion platform allows no exceptions for rape or incest—another outright falsehood. Trump himself has repeatedly stated, during debates no less, that he supports exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Funny how Harris conveniently ignores that. Maybe it’s hard to hear over all the cheering at those pro-abortion rallies.
Meanwhile, Dungy continues to handle himself with class. When someone questioned his support for Trump, asking why he hasn’t criticized him, Dungy calmly pointed out that, oh yes, he actually has criticized Trump before—specifically when Trump didn’t understand Florida’s Amendment 4. So there’s that. But here’s the difference: Dungy criticizes with facts and reason, not emotional outbursts and political spin.
Dear VP Harris: I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what “faith” are you talking about when you say you don’t have to abandon it to support abortion? Are you talking about the Christian faith that says all babies are made in the image of God (Gen 1:26), that God… https://t.co/Lo7v8V4wRm

At the end of the day, Dungy’s a man who lives his faith, and he’s not afraid to call out hypocrisy when he sees it. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, is a politician who bends “faith” to fit her talking points. As Dungy so aptly asked, just what kind of faith is that, Kamala? Because it’s certainly not one that values life or tells the truth.
