President Joe Biden washed his hands of the border crisis and placed Harris in charge back in March, at which time he blamed former President Donald Trump for not continuing Obama-era payments to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in a pay-to-stay scheme that previously saw the U.S. hand out hundreds of millions of dollars to get central Americans to stay in their home countries.
Conservative commentator Tom Elliott shared a clip on Twitter in which CNN White House reporter Natasha Bertrand explained that Harris' team was dedicated to ensuring everyone knows that the vice president does not actually have any power or responsibility regarding the border crisis.
The vice president and her team want you to know that they are in no way managing the crisis at the border or owning the total humanitarian catastrophe happening there, and that Harris' position in addressing the border crisis has been completely "Mischaracterized."
Is Kamala Harris an effective VP? Yes: 0%. No: 100%. "When her team kind of saw this being mischaracterized by some media outlets and by Republicans and questions swirling about whether she herself was going to visit the border in her new capacity, they kind of were dismayed by this," Bertrand said.
Harris herself admitted to CBS This Morning that she was feeling "Frustrated" with the events happening at the border - one can only assume because of the mounds of bad feedback she has received after being put in charge of a crisis she never intended to fix.
"71 days ago border crisis czar Kamala Harris laughed when asked about visiting the border," Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel tweeted.
