Former President Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris as the border czar for the influx of migrants flowing through the U.S.-Mexico border.
Former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday as a „bum“ responsible for the influx of migrants flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border during her tenure in the Biden administration.
Trump made the comments about Harris at the Turning Point USA Believers Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida. This comes after Harris secured enough delegates for the Democratic Party’s top nomination after President Joe Biden dropped his re-election effort, although the party’s candidate will not formally be nominated until next month’s convention.
„Three weeks ago, she was a bum, a failed vice president and a failed administration with millions of people crossing. And she was the border czar, now they’re trying to say she never was“, Trump said, referring to recent claims by some media outlets that Harris was never the border czar, although several of the same outlets previously described her as such.
„They’re deleting it all over the place“, he added. „They want to take it [down] because we have the worst border in history. And three and a half years ago, we had the best border that we’ve ever had.“
President Biden tapped Harris in 2021 to address the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America.
Biden said in March 2021 that Harris was leading the effort to coordinate with Mexico and other Northern Triangle nations — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — to address issues such as the surge of migrants at the southern border.
