Trump Campaign Respond After Harris Copies Former POTUS Again

The Trump campaign is countering media reports suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris has altered her stance on a border wall.

On Tuesday, Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt issued a statement accusing the Harris campaign of trying to hide the vice president’s actual record on immigration, labeling Harris as “pro-open border.”

“How much longer will the mainstream media allow Kamala Harris to hide and use staff to speak on her behalf? It’s DAY 37 of ZERO interviews and Kamala’s anonymous campaign sources are now claiming she supports President Trump’s border wall – this is a preposterous and false claim,” Leavitt said. “Kamala’s RECORD proves she is pro-open border. She called the wall ‘un-American,’ a ‘waste of taxpayer money,’ ‘medieval,’ and said it isn’t going to ‘stop’ illegal immigration. As a senator, Kamala tried to block President Trump’s construction of the border wall. As Border Czar, Kamala Harris halted construction of the border wall. Kamala’s ACTIONS speak much louder than the WORDS of the anonymous staff she is cowering behind.”

Harris’s recent presidential campaign ad includes footage of the border wall along the United States-Mexico border, which was constructed during former President Donald Trump’s administration. The ad shows open sections of the wall that had been temporarily stopped under Harris and President Joe Biden.

This ad aims to depict Harris as a protector of the nation’s border, showcasing specific footage of the wall in Sasabe, Arizona. The footage appears to have been sourced from a Voice of America news segment that was released in May of this year.

Construction of the border wall came to a halt when Biden and Harris assumed office on January 21, 2021. With Harris’s backing, Biden signed an executive order that stopped further construction, arguing that the border wall was “a waste of money.”

“Trump’s border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won’t make us any safer,” Harris wrote on Facebook in 2020.
