Tuesday, Vice President Harris provided flippant answers about her response to
the border crisis and faced major backlash after an interview with NBC's Lester
Holt. 

After Holt stated that she hadn’t been to the border, Harris responded:

“And I haven’t been to Europe,” she said, laughing. “I don’t understand the

Earlier in the interview, she explained: “We are going to the border. We have
to deal with what’s happening at the border.”Click here
