Joe Walsh this morning was very upset this morning at Kamala’s dismissive answer on visiting the border, saying this on Twitter:
She was put in charge of the border almost 3 months ago. It’s wrong that she hasn’t been there yet. But also, how can you STILL not have a better answer to the question of why you haven’t been to the border than this? You gotta do better than this. The border is a serious issue. https://t.co/UWvzd3byCe

Remember, he voted for this. But he’s also not wrong to be upset because her answer was incredibly bad.
But then Never Trumper Jennifer Rubin chimed in to DEFEND Kamala, saying she’s not in charge of the border:
she is NOT in charge of the border. she is in charge of negotiating with Northern Triangle countries to get at the root causes of the problem.

Walsh shot back:
I know that. But respectfully, most people don’t. Because the roll out of her assignment was pretty damn confusing. But…she still should have been to the border by now and she should still have a better answer than the one she gives.

I hate to admit it, but he’s not wrong that she should have been to the border by now. But more on that in a second…
Rubin then accused Walsh of “conceding to rightwing disinformation”:
Conceding to rightwing disinformation is a mistake. The administration has explained this multiple times.

It’s kinda hilarious to see these two NTs arguing over the administration they voted for because of their insane hatred of Trump. This is totally what they deserve though. However it’s clear that Rubin is such a hack that she won’t even criticize the obvious, which Walsh at least is willing to do.
Regarding the point about Kamala visiting the border and her comments yesterday, several have reminded us that when it served her political purposes, she was quick to visit the border back in 2018:
Kamala Harris said yesterday that visiting the border would be a “grand gesture”

THROWBACK: In 2018, Senator Kamala Harris visited the border and criticized a “zero-tolerance policy” on immigration.
Today, VP Harris pled with Guatemalans: “Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.” pic.twitter.com/eTdVkuUBdt

Even this ‘proud socialist’ isn’t happy with Kamala now:
Kamala in 2018:
“Our supposed leaders in Washington need to stop attacking immigrants and instead make it clear that America is a place where immigrants and refugees are welcome.”
Kamala in 2021:
“Do not come, do not come…If you come to our border you will be turned back.”
