Media Debates Harris Border Title

Posted on

Ok folks this is wild…just wild.

By the way, Google has this great little feature when you do a search. All you gotta do is click “tools” and you can search by date. Before spouting off like the media did they should probably try it sometime.

Before we go any further, below is a report from the Associated Press from March 24, 2021:

President Joe Biden has tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the White House effort to tackle the migration challenge at the U.S. southern border and work with Central American nations to address root causes of the problem.

Biden made the announcement as he and Harris met at the White House on Wednesday with Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandra Mayorkas and other immigration advisers to discuss the increase in migrants, including many unaccompanied minors, arriving at the border in recent weeks.

Here’s an even better story a few months later from a CNN piece titled “Vice President Harris’ Team Tries To Distance Her From Fraught Situation At The Border.” It noted that Kamala’s team panicked when they were given the assignment because it opens her up for criticism:

After the announcement, Harris’ aides appeared to “panic,” according to one of the officials, out of concern that her assignment was being mischaracterized and could be politically damaging if she were linked to the border, which at the time was facing a growing number of arrivals. But another White House official pushed back on the sentiment, saying the vice president’s team wasn’t panicked.

Now the press is claiming Harris was never put in charge of the border despite Biden saying so with her sitting right next to him.

This may be the dumbest misinformation attempt ever.

And Axios (who we like most of the time here) has really doubled down with the propaganda. Sort of wonder if they got their hand slap by the Dems.

Axios wrote:

Confusion around the VP’s exact role, early media misfires and the rapidly changing regional migration crisis has made the issue a top target for the GOP trying to define their new opponent. And it has become even more critical for Harris’ to find a clear border message, fast.

Axios was called out online when they themsevles called Kamala the “border czar.”

So what did they do in response?

Put this editor’s note below:

 

Then there is this clip…
