[NY Post] ''Tougher.'' That's the name of Vice President Kamala Harris ![]() What can be, unburdened by what has been ' 30-second campaign spot that's been running in Arizona and Nevada for almost two weeks now, touting the Democratic candidate's ''tough'' record on border issues. ''As a border-state prosecutor, she took on narco mobs and placed in durance vile Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across the border,'' the ad proclaims about her time as Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s attorney general. ''As vice president, she backed the toughest border-control bill in decades,'' the spot continues, referring to the twice-failed Biden border bill that promised to spend $20 billion on border security without taking any significant border-enforcement measures. And the ad promises that as president, Harris will ''crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.'' The spot doesn't mention her nearly three-and-a-half-year role as ''border czar'' of the administration, likely because under her tenure Customs and Border Protection has recorded more than 10 million illegal-immigrant encounters nationwide, with about 80% at the southern border. |
