By While the mainstream media continues to try and say she had nothing to do with Biden’s disastrous border policies, six Democrats in the House of Representatives joined Republicans to condemn Kamala Harris for her failures.

The House Democrats who voted for the resolution are Reps. Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, Mary Peltola of Alaska, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, and Yadira Caraveo of Colorado.
The vote comes as a new caravan of migrants has been seen traveling to the southern border.
Fox News wrote that Harris’ failures in handling border security, a longrunning top concern from voters in the 2024 election cycle, will likely remain at the forefront of the Trump campaign for president.
Republicans have for years accused Harris of failing her job as “border czar” after President Biden handed her the task of mitigating the “root causes” of illegal immigration in 2021.
It’s quickly becoming the cornerstone of GOP-led attacks against Harris as she gears up for an expected head-to-head race with former President Trump. But the six moderate Democrats who voted to condemn Harris amount to a scathing rebuke of their party’s likely presidential candidate – despite dozens of left-wing lawmakers rushing to endorse her.
During debate on the bill, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who’s leading the effort, accused Harris of overseeing “failed and dangerous policies as Joe Biden’s border czar that caused the most catastrophic border crisis in this nation’s history.”
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., similarly opened debate with, “We’ve been told that Vice President Harris’ job was to find the root causes of the crisis. Turns out to do so she could have just looked in the mirror.”
The six Democrats are more honest than most journalists. The mainstream media has been accused of “gaslighting” the public when it comes to Harris’ role on allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the country over the past few years. Rather than discuss the issue, they have focused on the GOP’s use of the term “border czar.”
The Washington Free Beacon has compiled a video showing how political commentators talked about her role in the White House before and after she replaced Biden at the top of the ticket.

Recently, the New Conservative Post explained how creepy this all appears to people who are not desperate to see Trump lose in November, but Peter Savodnik at The Free Press has taken things even further.
“There was something just more than a teensy bit Bolshevik about all of [the media’s pretending that Harris was not the border czar]. This piece of information that was once considered a fact—as in, a week ago—has in the past 48 hours been deemed politically unhelpful, and so we’re just going to make it. . . disappear.
Missing from this entirely manufactured ‘confusion’ is the critical fact that the United States’ southern border has been a mess for most of Joe Biden’s presidency. For most of the time that the vice president has (or has not) been the ‘border czar.’
No one is talking about the nearly 250,000 illegal migrants arrested at the border in December 2023—an all-time high. Or the millions who have entered the country since Biden took office. Or the violence. Or the drug cartels. (I reported on the border from Matamoros, Mexico, in April.)
We can be sure of this much: If the border was not a mess, if this was not a winning GOP issue, Kamala Harris would be running on it right now. And her media sock-puppet friends—who seem to believe in nothing except making sure she wins—would be celebrating ‘The Greatest Border Czar Who Ever Was.’”
At least six House Democrats agreed with that analysis, even if it means their nominee could be in trouble.
