First it was pretending she’s not the border czar. Then it was downplaying her running mate’s stolen valor controversy. Now, regime-approved media want you to believe that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to finish wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border.
On Tuesday, Democrats’ favorite propaganda outlet Axios published an article in which authors Alex Thompson and Hans Nichols claimed that Harris “pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border” if elected this November. The two “reporters” asserted it’s “the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions” since becoming Democrats’ 2024 presidential nominee.
But there’s just one small problem with Thompson and Nichols’ claims: Harris never said she would build the border ball if elected.
What the authors cite as “evidence” for their claim is Harris’ speech at last week’s Democratic National Convention, in which she committed to signing a disastrous border bill proposed earlier this year that would have enshrined the ongoing Biden-Harris border invasion into federal law.
The authors also reference comments from bill sponsor Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., who claimed the boondoggle “requires the Trump border wall” and “sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration.” The senator’s office estimated the legislation would direct $650 million toward the wall, a fraction of the $60 billion allocated for Ukraine and the $18 billion Trump requested for the wall in 2018.
Harris’ advisers reportedly disputed the charge the bill included new funding for the wall. According to the outlet, they claimed the measure “just extended the timeline to spend funds that had been appropriated during Trump’s last year as president.” The authors noted, “the legislation has new restrictions to ensure the money is spent on barriers.”
Contrary to Thompson and Nichols’ dishonest portrayal, Harris has not stated her position on the border wall since replacing Biden at the top of the 2024 ticket. In fact, the California Democrat has only ever discussed the subject to voice her opposition to it. --->READ MORE HERE
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted Vice President Kamala Harris’s record as border czar, noting she and the Democrats are the “party of special interests.”
While appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime, Cruz was asked why he believes the Democratic National Convention this week has not displayed more speeches from families of those affected by crime as a result of the border crisis. Host Jesse Watters noted in jest that he thought the Democrats were the “party of the people.”
“This is, unfortunately, the party of special interest,” Cruz said. This is all about power.”
Cruz pointed to GOP presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump’s appearance at the U.S.-Mexico border Thursday alongside the families of two women who were allegedly raped and murdered by illegal immigrants.
“Every damn day another American is murdered, another woman is raped, another child is brutalized by illegal immigrants that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have released,” Cruz said. “And they have nothing to say for the victims, for the families that have been devastated by the criminals that they are releasing every day.” --->READ MORE HERE
