Reuters Rides to Kamala Harris’ Rescue on the Border Crisis As Criticism Ramps Up
“The reality of Harris’s record on migration is far more complicated, according to interviews with three current Biden officials, 13 former officials and others tracking the issue.”
It goes without saying that whenever a Democrat is on the ropes, the mainstream media and their purported fact-checking divisions will inevitably swoop in to try to rescue them.
That has certainly been the case with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who has been hit with a constant barrage of criticism from Republicans over her disastrous handling of Joe Biden’s border crisis since he made her his point person on the southern border in March of 2021.
That criticism has ramped up in the aftermath of Democrats coalescing around her after Biden was essentially forced to withdraw from the presidential race last month. And because her critics have been unrelenting, the Usual Suspects have been trotting out the woman/sexism/racism cards in an attempt to ward off legitimate criticisms of the vice president.
And when they haven’t been doing that, they’ve been trying to erase or gloss over her history as Biden’s border czar, falsely claiming for instance that Biden never actually put her in the position when he in fact did.
Reuters, though, has taken somewhat of a different route, claiming that in addition to allegedly not actually being the border czar “the facts” prove Harris’ detractors wrong on how she has handled the border crisis:

And the people they got to refute the claims? Other Democrats, former and current Biden administration officials, and so-called “experts” who of course all conveniently agree that Harris has gotten a bad rap on the issue:
Reuters doing its part, "fact checking" the correct claim that Kamala Harris was/is the failed Border Czar, quoting Democrats to "prove" the opposite, and understating the number of illegal border crossings on her watch by millions. Three bylines for this propaganda. pic.twitter.com/FMuEvUcsDs

From the article:
“She was given a very hard, difficult, convoluted portfolio,” said U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee and an architect of a bipartisan border security bill introduced earlier this year.
[…]
Despite Harris’ efforts, some 7 million migrants have been arrested illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border under Biden, according to government data, all-time highs that have fueled Republican criticism.
The reality of Harris’s record on migration is far more complicated, according to interviews with three current Biden officials, 13 former officials and others tracking the issue.
In response, Rep, Chip Roy (R-TX), a leading critic of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the border crisis, took the so-called news outlet to task for trying to make Harris look like a success on an issue where in reality she’s been a miserable failure:

Would Reuters ever try to refute Democrat claims about a Republican using Republican officials and experts? Of course, they wouldn’t, but because the liberal media are what they are, we get this type of gaslighting, which is an insult to the American voter – especially when one considers the extent of how bad the border crisis, and the violent crime that has followed here in the U.S., has become under both Biden and Harris’ combined “leadership.”
The good news is that in November, voters will have a chance to reject the ridiculous media spin with their choices for president and Congress. The bad news is that the media is still gonna media, regardless of the actual facts on the ground, which is why alternative news sources must continue to do the work of bringing the real and unvarnished stories to light regardless of who wins.

They just make bigger fools of themselves. Virtually EVERYONE knows she was given an opportunity to address the border and virtually ran away. They write for those like themselves and believe that they represent the masses, but it’s more like guilty white women and their beta males.
Sorry, but that’s just the way it is. Most ironic, Harris would run from a friendly Reuters “journalist.”
The only alternative is that NOBODY was in charge of the border, and Biden Harris completely dropped the ball (on purpose).
Now ask Reuters to explain the hoards with Biden t-shirts or the HUGE increase in illegal aliens immediately after Harris “didn’t” take control of the border issue.
Let them explain how Biden Harris gutted every functioning reform that Pres. Trump put in place, causing the invasion, expecially “remain in Mexico.”
Let them explain how Harris and Majorkas kept telling us that they are in complete control of the border. And still do….
There must be 51 “border experts” they can tap!!
“according to interviews with three current Biden officials, 13 former officials and others tracking the issue.”
Wow sounds like a real, nonpartisan group with an objective and frank assessment.
“Why are you asking me that question” ( have you been to the boarder) Harris asked?
I haven’t even been to Europe
This time is the woman who they want to put in the Presidency
Reuters is “mainstream” media, therefore by definition Democrat propaganda 24/7/365. Liars, every one of ’em.
You misspelled “lamestream,”
Reuters rides to the rescue!
And so it begins. Kamala Harris inherits the Joe Biden Treatment. She is about to enjoy the same wonderful time honored democrat sponsored all purpose never ending honeymooning a$$ kissing lap dog mania loyalty until death do us part or until Obama pulls her card.
And the bad news is that more than a few low information morons…err voters, who have lost the capacity to think critically on any issue, will buy this BS from Reuters.
One of my favorite old sayings..
For every credibility gap,
There is a gullibility fill.
Sad, so sad. SMH
Thank God for X!!
Kamala is such a fraud. She grew up in the wealthiest neighborhood on the wealthiest block in Montreal. She didn’t experience the life of a poor black child in US. Her public persona is totally fake.
Fake as “Dreams From my Father.”
If she picks Shapiro, maybe her VP selection and husband may have paid hush money. If so, go figure.
Ever time I think the democraps can’t go any deeper with their stupidity, they bring out the steam shovels.
And the base asks them if they more diesel to keep the shovel going.
Maybe they will run them using solar panels and wind mills this time….
IN the view of Traitor Joe and EVERYONE in his junta, there was never any “border crisis”. The border worked exactly the way they wanted it to. The only problem any of the left had with the border was that it was STILL too “effective” and they wanted the flow of illegals to be even larger – much larger – which is why they kept asking for more money “for the border”. The money was not to enforce a stricter border and keep people out … NO!! The money Traitor Joe and the America-hating dems kept asking for was to hire more border agents to INCREASE the processing of illegals into our country. The border was organized to orchestrate an invasion of America – and that’s exactly what it did. It was exactly as Traitor Joe and everyone in his junta wanted it to be.
As to Kamala Chameleon … we all know that she really never did anything with respect to the border or border policy – and she was never meant to. They just gave her a title and then expected her to do nothing. That is true of everything that Kamala Chameleon was “assigned” to. No one expects her to do anything but pretend. And to pretend quietly, because she sticks her foot in her mouth every time she opens it.
As to the MSM … they are treasonous pond scum. They are enthusiastic in their role as the new Pravda. They LOVE it. It makes them feel important and superior.
The US is, currently, worse than the Soviet Union was. And, at least, the Soviet Union had the excuse that they didn’t know any better, which is why we are far worse. We will be a cautionary tale (and a laughing stock) thousands of years into the future. People will not understand how Americans could have been as insane – right out in the open – as we are. This is truly historical – mega-historical – in a bad, bad, bad way.

Remember folks: if you’re explaining you’re losing.
“Explaining what a woman is, explaining why drag shows in schools and libraries are not ok, explaining why children shouldn’t be given masturbation homework by teachers – in any “explain to me” battle with wokies you will lose.”
“I talked about the parallels between apartheid and equity, arguing that “equity” is just apartheid with the races reversed. In apartheid white oppressed black; in equity black oppresses white.”
The Fourth Estate are Fifth Columnists.
Traitors from within are becoming more dangerous than foreign invaders. Of course, all the foreign invaders are now in the country thanks to the failed Harris border control.
complicated is of course them admitting they WANT IT COMPLICATED
so no one can challenge her on the subject
ITS SIMPLE
close the border
deport known illegal
deport anyone who entered this country illegally
Someone should do a study analyzing and estimating both the dollar value (as free advertising and campaign contributions) and the electoral value (in terms of votes gained) that the leftist/Dhimmi-crat/legacy media shills’/lapdogs’/trained seals’ perennial, dutifully positive propaganda coverage of Dhimmi-crat apparatchiks and candidates, combined with their predictably negative and hostile coverage of GOP/conservative office-holders and candidates, has yielded, over time.
