Kamala Harris recently used an image of border wall built under Trump a few years ago in a campaign ad. Her campaign also recently suggested that she has changed her position on the idea of a border wall.
While all of that is surprising, it is even more shocking that CNN called her out over this.
FOX News reports:
CNN calls out Harris for using Trump’s border wall in campaign ad after condemning it for yearsA CNN segment reported Wednesday on how Vice President Kamala Harris is using imagery of former President Trump’s border wall after condemning it for years as “useless” and un-American.During CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront,” host Erin Burnett spoke to CNN’s KFile senior editor Andrew Kaczynski about how Harris’ past comments about Trump’s border wall are coming back to “haunt” her.Kaczynski found 50 instances of Harris slamming Trump’s border wall, but now her campaign is featuring the border wall in ads.After playing Harris’ campaign ad featuring a portion of the wall, Burnett recalled how Harris had criticized that same wall in her 2019 book, “The Truths We Hold,” writing that the wall was not only “useless” but that it would be “monument standing in opposition to not just everything I value, but to the fundamental values upon which this country was built.” Harris also argued the wall symbolically tells the world, “’KEEP OUT.’”In addition, Harris condemned the wall as a “misuse of taxpayer money.” In a clip at a public event in 2019, Harris called the border wall a “vanity project” and claimed Trump “contrived a national crisis around his big distraction.”

Kamala Harris and the Democrats in general are particularly vulnerable on the issue of the border and illegal immigration.
The Daily Wire notes:
Since taking over the campaign in late July, after the Democratic Party summarily axed President Joe Biden from the 2024 ticket, Harris has had her media surrogates working overtime to distance her from the open-border policies that have marked the Biden-Harris administration’s approach to illegal immigration.That move comes in the wake of a number of highly publicized violent crimes tied to illegal aliens who entered the United States on Harris’ watch — in addition to polling that indicates a majority of Americans are in favor of much stronger enforcement of immigration laws.
