Trump VP pick JD Vance mocked VP Kamala Harris on Friday over both her poor job as the Biden administration’s “border czar” and her continued refusal to take real questions from reporters.
“If we could convince Kamala Harris that illegal aliens are actually journalists trying to ask her questions she’d build that border wall in five seconds,” Vance posted to X.
In a matter of hours, the post has been viewed more than 2 million times.
Notably, Harris, the Democrats’ effective 2024 presidential nominee, has reportedly never spoken to either Border Patrol chief during her tenure as VP and did not actually visit the border until June of 2021.
NBC News host Lester Holt famously confronted Harris about why she hadn’t made her way down to the border. “We are going to the border,” Harris insisted. “We’ve been to the border. This whole thing about the border – we’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.”
“You haven’t been to the border,” Holt responded. “And I haven’t been to Europe,” Harris answered.
Vance has routinely criticized Harris for the Biden administration’s border crisis. Earlier this month, Vance posted to X, “Our border czar Kamala Harris opened up the border by design. Now real people are suffering.”
The Ohio senator’s comment captioned a video clip of Vance at the border, again taking on Harris. “They stopped deportations on Day One,” he says in the video. “They stopped construction of the border wall on Day One. … They reinstated catch-and-release and they stopped Remain-in-Mexico … these policies cause real human beings to suffer.”
Vance’s post on Friday also went after Harris for refusing to speak to the press about her proposed policy agenda.
Notably, the VP staked out far-Left positions during her failed 2020 run. She voiced support for the controversial Green New Deal, said she’d issue a total ban on fracking, supported gun confiscation, and the elimination of private health insurance, for example.
Now, however, Harris’ team has claimed she’s backed away from those positions and is moderate.
