In preparation for the upcoming Republican National Convention, the GOP dropped an unlisted YouTube video on Friday taking aim at Vice President Kamala Harris and her role as President Joe Biden’s ‘border czar’.
Titled “RNC Kamala Harris Video,” the clip kicks off with a bold warning aimed at upset liberals, revealing supposed truths about Harris. It then delves into criticism of the Biden administration’s border strategies, citing the influx of over “10 million” illegal immigrants since Harris was tasked with tackling the issue.
A standout moment in the video showcases a segment from a June 2021 NBC News interview where Harris responds to questions about her border visit plans, leading to a comical exchange with journalist Lester Holt. Throughout the dialogue, Harris is shown repeatedly laughing.
The video also delves into Harris’ past as San Francisco’s District Attorney, accusing her of leniency towards illegal immigrant drug dealers with fatal outcomes. It highlights her backing of sanctuary city laws and taxpayer-funded healthcare for undocumented immigrants as further points of criticism, portraying her as “dangerously liberal on illegal immigration.”
Amid ongoing changes in the Biden administration’s immigration policies, including recent executive orders restricting asylum-seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, the video aims to stir controversy around Harris’ stance on these critical issues.
Recent reports suggest a drop in daily border crossings, though challenges remain in managing the border crisis, leading to legal criticisms from civil rights groups.
The GOP’s criticism of Harris coincides with polls indicating her strong standing against former President Donald Trump in potential 2024 matchups.
While facing some setbacks, Harris has maintained her support for Biden, who has faced scrutiny over gaffes and doubts about his reelection bid. Despite these challenges, both Biden and Harris are determined to carry forward their agenda.
