Democrat presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris may have made a colossal mistake for her campaign.
In what could be generously described as a publicity stunt or photo op, she visited the Southern border on Friday, which marked only visit number two to the border in her entire time as vice president and ‘border czar.’
And CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings hammered her for it and said it was a “tactical mistake” because it would remind voters of her and President Joe Biden’s failure to secure the border.
“I think Republicans should be very happy tonight. I bet Scott Jennings is going to give her a lot of crash night because he wanted something done on the border. She got something done on the border. She wanted him to separate from Biden. She separated from Biden. So I expect Republicans to give her a lot of love today,” Democrat commentator Van Jones said speaking to host Anderson Cooper and the Republican commentator.
“I love brother Van, as he knows, I mean that, I love him like a brother, but no. There’ll be there’ll be no love from me or Republicans for Kamala Harris today. In fact, I think the Trump campaign line today ought to be ‘arsonist returns to the scene of crime.’ I mean, look at the last three-and-a-half years, we’ve got– the border is effectively been opened. People flowing across. ICE today released information that there are 13,000 noncitizens convicted of homicide and almost 16,000 noncitizens convicted of some kind of sexual crime who are in the country right now,” the Republican said.
“Only because we’re in the shadow of an election is Kamala Harris trying to rush and pay some lip service to this issue as a tactical matter, Anderson. I don’t think Harris should be trying to elevate this issue because this is the best ground from which Donald Trump has to fight. So no, I think the Harris campaign is making a tactical mistake and I think they have very little to say that the American people are going to buy on this today,” he said.
Speaking at the border the vice president attempted to show herself as a hawk on immigration issues.
“Those who cross our borders unlawfully will be apprehended and removed and barred from reentering for five years,” she said to supporters in the Cochise County College Douglas Campus.
“We will pursue more severe criminal charges against repeat violators and if someone does not make an asylum request at a legal point of entry and instead crosses our border unlawfully, they will be barred from receiving asylum. While we understand that many people are desperate to migrate to the United States. Our system must be orderly and secure,” the vice president said.
She spoke about her record as California attorney general, and said that former President Donald Trump, who is ahead of her by a ton when it comes to polls asking who voters trust more to secure the border, “tanked” the “strongest border security bill we have seen in decades” and said that if he had not done that it would have been working.
“It is my pledge to you that as President of the United States I will bring it back up and proudly sign it into law,” the vice president said.
Republicans voted against the Democrat-sponsored measure because, among other things, it contained a provision that still allowed up to 5,000 migrants illegally into the country per day before any enforcement provisions were triggered.
Far-left Harris, though, claimed she would “understand how solutions get formed” and “reach across the aisle and I will embrace common sense approaches and new techniques to get the job done.”
“Because I know transnational gangs coming across the border, trafficking in guns, drugs and human beings could[n’t] care less who somebody voted for in the last election,” the vice president said.
