Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) went after Vice President Kamala Harris (D) as part of a Tuesday interview due to her insane claims that the Southern Border of the country was “secure.”
Manchin issued the statements as part of an interview on Fox News with Bret Baier, an anchor for the network, seemingly in response to Baier mentioning the topic of Harris calling the border “secure.”
“It’s wrong. She’s dead wrong on that. And I have said this,” explained Manchin. “If we don’t secure it — I voted every time for the wall. But we need the wall and a lot more, technology, more agents. The 2013 immigration bill was still the best piece of legislation I think that we have ever had before us. We couldn’t get it passed through the Republican House at that time because of some politics involved there.”
“And they — the amnesty, people were shouting the word amnesty,” he went on. “That piece of legislation would have corrected everything we have going wrong. But, for anybody — the vice president, president, anybody — to say our borders are secured, that is not accurate. I have been there. It’s wrong.”

TRANSCRIPT:
BRET BAIER, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: Vice President Harris said this weekend the Southern border is — quote — “secure.”
SEN. JOE MANCHIN (D-WV): It’s wrong. She’s dead wrong on that. And I have said this.
If we don’t secure it — I voted every time for the wall. But we need the wall and a lot more, technology, more agents. The 2013 immigration bill was still the best piece of legislation I think that we have ever had before us. We couldn’t get it passed through the Republican House at that time because of some politics involved there.
And they — the amnesty, people were shouting the word amnesty. That piece of legislation would have corrected everything we have going wrong. But, for anybody — the vice president, president, anybody — to say our borders are secured, that is not accurate. I have been there. It’s wrong.
