Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance on Tuesday urged Kamala Harris to build a border wall, saying she has all the time in the world. JD Vance’s comment came as Republicans said Kamala Harris was making a policy U-turn on the wall on the U.S. southern border. She once called the wall un-American and a medieval prestige project, but now, as she works to revive a bipartisan deal, she agreed to spend hundreds of millions on the border wall – a pet project of Donald Trump.
“Kamala Harris is a fraud. If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now!” wrote JD Vance, sharing an Axios article about Kamala Harris makes U-turn on border Wall.
“In her speech to the Democratic National Convention last week, Harris said she would sign the latest bipartisan border security bill – which Trump had ordered his allies to kill because he feared it could help Democrats in the November election,” the Axios report said.
Harris’ advisers told Axios, however, that the bipartisan border proposal does not include additional funding for wall construction, but merely extends the time frame for spending funds approved during Trump’s final year in office.
Kamala Harris hides behind anonymous staff: Trump campaign
The Trump campaign issued a statement, saying the Axios report falsely claimed Kamala had changed her mind on the border wall. “How much longer will the mainstream media allow Kamala Harris to hide and use staff to speak on her behalf? … Kamala’s RECORD proves she is for an open border. She called the wall ‘un-American,’ a ‘waste of taxpayer money,’ ‘medieval,’ and said she will not ‘stop’ illegal immigration. As Senator, Kamala tried to block President Trump’s construction of the border wall. As Border Czar, Kamala Harris stopped the construction of the border wall. Kamala’s ACTIONS speak far louder than the WORDS of the anonymous staff she hides behind,” the campaign said.
