Kamala Harris: Weak. Failed. Dangerously Liberal.
Whether or not Harris owns the crises under the Harris-Biden administration is not up for debate, she has admitted it. In fact, she not only owns their record, but her dangerously liberal policies would make the crises they’ve created even worse.
What you need to know:
-
For 39 months straight since Kamala Harris became Biden’s border czar, monthly encounters surpassed even the highest month under the last administration
-
During the past year alone, Border Czar Kamala Harris has failed to talk with Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens.
- The same goes for retired Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz who disclosed back in March that he never “had one conversation” with the Border Czar during the two years he held the position under the Biden Administration.
-
Meanwhile, in just the last month, 1,359 pounds of deadly fentanyl was seized at the southern border, with much more getting through.
-
Criminals are continuing to flood across the border, with Border Patrol arresting illegal immigrants accused of homicide, rape , assault, drug trafficking, and human smuggling, all within the past month.
- It was her job to oversee the border bloodbath of rapes, murder, and deadly drug trafficking.
-
Despite Biden and Harris’ promise of a "fair and humane immigration system," their open border policies aren't compassionate; they are deadly.
-
Border Czar Kamala Harris has only visited the border once as vice president – traveling to a politically friendly district rather than the epicenter of the crisis.
- If she can’t lead the charge on the border, how can she lead our Country?
- Kamala Harris has a track record of supporting radical policies throughout her career.
- Harris failed to prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law.
-
Harris encouraged people to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which bailed now-convicted rapists, assaulters, and murderers out of jail.
- She supports defunding the police, decriminalizing illegal immigration, and opposing the death penalty for even the most gruesome cop-killers.
- Kamala Harris has been an apologist for Black Lives Matter violence, radical race-baiting policies, and DEI wokeism.
- Kamala Harris was the deciding vote on spending bills that caused inflation.
- In 2021, Kamala Harris gave the tie-breaking vote to pass the “American Rescue Plan,” which many economists warned would fuel inflation.
- In 2022, Kamala Harris again gave the tie-breaking vote to pass the “Inflation Reduction Act” scam bill that sent inflation through the roof.
- Since Kamala took office:
- Overall prices are up 20.1%;
- Food prices are up 21.3%;
- Rent prices are up 21.5%;
- Electricity is up 31.6%.
- Harris has lied about just about everything – about her far-left record, about statistics, about her coverup of Biden’s cognitive decline, and about the terrible impacts of her policies.
-
HARRIS LIE: “Gas prices are down.”
- TRUTH: Gas still costs more than a dollar per gallon more than when she took office as vice president.
-
HARRIS LIE: “We have already created 15.7 million new jobs.”
-
TRUTH: 72% of all jobs Harris claims to have “created” are actually jobs created under Trump returning from the pandemic.
-
HARRIS LIE: “Wages are up."
-
TRUTH: Real wages remain lower than when Harris first took office.
-
HARRIS LIE: "We will not raise taxes on families making less than $400,000 a year.
-
TRUTH: Biden and Harris have already raised the tax burden on Americans earning as little as $20,000/year.
-
HARRIS LIE: The border is “secure.”
- TRUTH: The border was never secure under Border Czar Kamala Harris.
-
HARRIS LIE: “Trump would sign a national abortion ban."
-
TRUTH: President Trump has been crystal clear: he would NOT sign a national abortion ban.
-
HARRIS LIE: “Project 2025 is the Trump Agenda.”
-
TRUTH: President Trump said that Project 2025 is not his agenda repeatedly.
The bottom line:
Harris can run from her record, but she can't hide — she is weak, failed, and dangerously liberal.
