Despite Wall-To-Wall Media Propaganda To Protect Kamala’s Incompetence, Voters Are Onto Her

The media have developed a pathological obsession with shielding Vice President Kamala Harris from any criticism or inconvenient fact.

Kamala Harris Wants Amnesty And Open Borders, Not A Secure Border

Regime-approved media want you to believe that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to finish wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Even liberal media cannot ignore the border wall-sized problem with Harris campaign ad

For lack of a detailed platform indicating what she might finally get around to doing if elected president, Kamala Harris has instead been campaigning on what she would like American voters to think she has accomplished.

Harris posted a campaign ad earlier this month touting her record on the border. On closer inspection, critics and even some elements of the liberal media noticed something amiss about the 30-second video: President Donald Trump's border wall.

Whilst insinuating that Harris has been strong on the border, the campaign ad repeatedly shows off the same border wall Harris spent years criticizing and then joined President Joe Biden in defunding upon taking power.

Omitting any mention of the tens of millions of illegal aliens who have stolen into the country under Harris' watch, the narrator for the campaign ad claims, "As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and guns across the border."

"As vice president, she backed the toughest border-control bill in decades," says the narrator. "And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris."

Mike Howell, executive director of the Heritage Foundation's government watchdog Oversight Project, highlighted the Trump border wall's cameos in the video Friday, tweeting, "What is that in this ad? Looks like the @realDonaldTrump BORDER WALL to me!"

Peter Hasson, editor of the Washington Free Beacon, noted in reply, "Not only is Kamala featuring border wall in her campaign ad, it appears that she's featuring *Trump-era* additions to the border wall. The campaign footage (left image) matches VOA footage (right image) identified as Sasabe, Arizona. CBP website shows the wall in Sasabe was built under Trump."

ABC News' Jonathan Karl played the video Sunday for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) and asked, "What do you make of her transformation on this issue?"

Sanders offered a diplomatic response, attributing a potential border policy to Harris.

'Trump's border wall is just a stupid use of money.'

Karl, ostensibly hoping for Sanders to acknowledge the vice president's radical about-face on the issue, said, "If you take a look at that ad, and one thing that I found striking, is if you look — and I think we have the images here — there are at least three points in that ad that show the border wall. Donald Trump's border wall."

"Is it now the position of the Democrats that they favor the border wall?" asked Karl.

"You can ask the Harris campaign about that ad," said Sanders.

Harris' use of Trump's accomplishment to visually imply it to be her own might be less controversial if it were not for the Democrat's years-long rhetorical and administrative campaign against the wall.

In 2017, Harris wrote, "Trump's border wall is just a stupid use of money."

Bloomberg reported that in February 2018, congressional Democrats expressed an unwillingness to grant Trump $25 billion to build a border wall in exchange for those illegal aliens deemed "Dreamers" to gain a path to citizenship. Harris was one of three Senate Democrats who rejected the deal.

Harris' spokeswoman at the time suggested, "With any vote she takes in the Senate, she looks at all the evidence, does her homework, and does what she believes is the right thing to do. This one was no different."

Harris made clear in a statement that funding should not "be used to implement this administration's anti-immigrant agenda."

While peddling her book, "The Truths We Hold: An American Journey," in 2019, Harris reportedly suggested the wall was Trump's "vanity project" and threatened litigation should he move forward with it.

During a CNN town hall just weeks later, Harris called the border wall Trump's "medieval vanity project," emphasizing that she would "not vote for a wall under any circumstances."

Prior to being run out of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary with no delegates to her name, Harris tweeted, "Trump's border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won't make us any safer."

Shortly after taking power, the Biden-Harris administration halted the flow of government funds toward the construction of the wall and in subsequent months took additional steps to axe construction contracts.

Harris appears keen to gloss over her track record of keeping the border porous, especially in light of polling data indicating that Americans are tired of illegal aliens stealing into the country.

Gallup revealed last month that 53% of respondents signaled a desire to expand the construction of walls along the U.S. border. 63% said they favored allowing the president and the secretary of Homeland Security to bar entry to asylum-seekers when the southern border is overwhelmed.

Earlier this year, a Monmouth University poll found that over 8 in 10 Americans recognized illegal immigration to be either a very serious (61%) or a somewhat serious (23%) problem.

The poll also found that 53% of respondents supported the border wall.

The Harris campaign ad starring Trump's border wall drew heat earlier this month for a different reason: The law enforcement members shown standing next to her wanted it known that their images were used without permission and that she did not have their support.

Blaze News previously reported that Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux and District Attorney Tim Ward expressed outrage over their inclusion in the video.

"In light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, the Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office," Sheriff Boudreaux said in a statement.

"Just as Sheriff Boudreaux said, I do not in any way want the use of that photo to be construed as support of [Harris] either in her candidacy, current candidacy, or even in her tenure as attorney general of the State of California," said Ward.

Tulare County officials also contradicted Harris' characterization as a "border state prosecutor."

According to Boudreaux, "The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border."

Border czar Harris slammed for reportedly using images of California sheriff, DA in campaign ad without permission

A sheriff and a district attorney in California are both outraged after border czar Kamala Harris reportedly used their images in a campaign ad without first asking their permission or even giving them notice.

On August 9, Harris — who just earned enough delegate support to secure the Democrat nomination for president in the 2024 election without running in a single state primary — released a campaign ad touting her record as attorney general in California and as vice president.

'We're not hard people to find or to contact. Simple professional courtesy would have been warning us that it was going to be used.'

The ad pitches Harris as tough on crime, especially regarding drug cartels and illegal immigration. It also includes a montage of images of Harris standing next to other members of law enforcement — including Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux and District Attorney Tim Ward.

Boudreaux and Ward both slammed the ad as well as their brief appearance in it.

"In light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, the Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office," the sheriff said in a statement.

Ward expressed similar frustration that his image had apparently been used without permission. "Just as Sheriff Boudreaux said, I do not in any way want the use of that photo to be construed as support of [Harris] either in her candidacy, current candidacy, or even in her tenure as attorney general of the State of California," Ward said.

"We're not hard people to find or to contact. Simple professional courtesy would have been warning us that it was going to be used. And I think that we are well within our rights to clarify the records."

The Tulare County officials also suggested that the ad gives a "misleading" portrayal of Harris' time as California AG.

"In the ad, Harris claims to have spent decades fighting violent crime as a 'border state prosecutor,'" Boudreaux stated.

"The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border."

Ward added that Harris oversaw "three of the worst tragedies that had befallen the citizens of the state of California," though if he elaborated on the circumstances of those "tragedies," Fox News did not include that information in its reporting.

"The hypocrisy knows no bounds," Ward claimed.

Finally, Boudreaux seemed particularly irked by Harris' apparent elitist and entitled attitude. He recalled that during a brief visit to his jurisdiction more than a decade ago, Harris ignored the officers and other officials who had made the arrests that made her look good.

"We were in the green room. She never came in and said hello to any of us. She walked up front, gave her presser, literally walked out, never said hi to any of us," he claimed. "I'm disgusted because, you know, she didn't shake hands. She didn't say hello. And she's taken credit for all this work that the locals did."

The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment from the New York Post about the statements from the sheriff and DA.

These accusations of allegedly mishandled images come as the Harris campaign is still fending off accusations that VP nominee Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly misrepresented his service in the Minnesota Army National Guard, an action often referred to as stolen valor.

Video shows that Walz has stated on multiple occasions that he retired with the rank of command sergeant major when he actually retired as a master sergeant, having failed to complete the training and courses required to retire as a command sergeant major. He also bragged about carrying weapons "in war," video shows, even though he never actually served in a combat zone.

Former unit colleagues have also accused Walz of bolting early from the National Guard after receiving word that they would soon be deployed to Iraq. Walz retired in May 2005 in the midst of his first campaign for Congress, while his former battalion received a mobilization order that August.

The unit then deployed to Iraq in March 2006 and spent 22 months there. During that time, four of Walz's fellow guardsmen died.

Walz advanced radical LGBTQ agenda as governor, signed bill that doesn't expressly prohibit pedophilia as sexual orientation

Tim Walz, the far-left governor of Minnesota who was recently tapped to be border czar Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 election, has advanced a radical LGBTQ agenda since assuming the governorship 2019. Not only does he enjoy unwavering support from the state's first openly "transgender" lawmaker, but he even signed a bill that does not specifically prohibit pedophilia as a recognized sexual orientation.

After Walz was announced as Harris' No. 2, Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke — a male Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party member who identifies as female and the chair of the Minnesota Queer Legislators Caucus — took to the media to express his unwavering support.

"From the moment I was sworn in as a member of the Minnesota Legislature, it became clear to me that Governor Walz was committed to being a true ally for the queer community," Finke said in a statement.

'Ensuring all trans folx have access to gender-affirming care and the tools they need to thrive.'

To demonstrate, Finke pointed to the so-called "trans refuge" bill he helped author and that Walz signed into law in April 2023 after a gender-confused 12-year-old publicly lobbied for it earlier that year. The law codified protections for abortion up until birth and so-called "gender affirming care" and even made Minnesota a safe haven for people from states that have banned gender-related medical interventions.

"The passage of the Trans Refuge law was just the beginning of our dedication to ensuring all trans folx have access to gender-affirming care and the tools they need to thrive," the Queer Caucus said in a June statement.

Finke also made an appearance on ABC News to gush further about the "trans refuge" bill and Walz's other supposed contributions to the "community" the Queer Caucus abbreviates as "LGBTQIA2S+."

"Um, you know, when we elected 11 new LGBTQ members, uh, to the House two years ago and created the Queer Caucus, and I started pushing, um, the — the importance of the 'trans refuge' bill that I carried, [Walz] was always right there," Finke stammered.

During that interview with ABC News, Finke also noted Walz's previous experience working as an adviser for a gay-straight alliance club at a Minnesota high school where he once taught and coached football.

"You know, he, Governor Walz, has said all along that he wants Minnesota to be the best place to raise a family," Finke continued, "and he knows that means all families. And — and I think that that says a lot about what he's trying to do and what he can bring to the ticket."

Sexual orientation in the Land of 10,000 Lakes

Perhaps even more troubling than Walz's ringing endorsement from a man wearing earrings and lipstick is his approval of a Pride bill that does not expressly prohibit pedophilia as one of the state's recognized sexual orientations.

In May 2023, Walz signed into law the Take Pride Act, which appears to be a series of updates to the Minnesota Human Rights Act of 1993.

Part of those revisions included amending the definition of the term "sexual orientation." The bill underwent several rewrites during the legislative phase, but at one point, the definition of sexual orientation listed on the bill included the following statement: "'Sexual orientation' does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult."

However, that statement was later removed, as evidenced by the line struck through it:

Screenshot of H.F. No. 1655

That language was never restored, and the final definition of sexual orientation included in version of the bill that Walz signed makes a vague association between sexual attraction and adulthood by employing terms like "men" and "women" but does not expressly preclude pedophilia.

"Sexual orientation" means to whom someone is, or is perceived of as being, emotionally, physically, or sexually attracted to based on sex or gender identity. A person may be attracted to men, women, both, neither, or to people who are genderqueer, androgynous, or have other gender identities.

Fact-checkers quickly defended the language of the bill. USA Today asserted that the bill did not protect "pedophiles from discrimination," and PolitiFact insisted that it would not make child rapists a "protected class," even as both outlets acknowledged that the statement about pedophilia had been deliberately removed.
