Deer In The Headlights: Kamala Fails MISERABLY When 60 Minutes Pushes Back On HER Border Crisis

Posted • October 8, 2024: If you were wondering why Kamala Harris's team recently announced that they were going on a 'media blitz' with hard-hitting news outlets like Stephen Colbert, The View, and Howard Stern (yes, Howard Stern), look no further than her recent 60 Minutes interview with Bill Whitaker. Though the interview did not air until last night, her team saw it long before that. And they knew how bad it was. Their immediate reaction was 'We need to book her some fluff and FAST.' Oh, and it was bad. Like, Tim Walz in a debate bad. Twitchy has already covered segments of the interview, including one where Harris refused to call Benjamin Netanyahu or even the state of Israel an American ally, another where she blatantly lied about the rich 'paying their fair share,' and yet another segment where she ... well, we'll be honest: we have no idea what she was saying and neither did anyone else. Yes, it was panic time in the Harris camp.

And it wasn't just her words. It was her facial expressions and body language as well. Watch the clip below as Whitaker asks her about the Biden-Harris administration's horrendous border policies and why they didn't try to crack down on the border for more than three years. Specifically, at around the 1:28 mark, after she thinks she has deflected the question with a non-answer, and then is horrified to see that Whitaker is not going to let it go and move on to another subject: 🚨 Wow. 60 Minutes mildly pressed Kamala Harris on why she opened the southern border and then waited 3.5 years to reverse course, and she completely melted down in response. Kamala is not ready for primetime. Bill Whitaker presses Vice President Kamala Harris on President Biden’s recent crackdown on asylum seekers as part of a policy shift on border crossings, and on whether the Biden administration should have taken those steps sooner.

60 Minutes repeatedly asks Harris why the Biden/Harris admin waited 3 years to take executive action to curb illegal crossings. She says they introduced a bill upon taking office (that bill would’ve given given an 8 year path to amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants) then pivots to saying Trump killed the bipartisan border deal - which, again, the admin did not attempt until after 3 years of record setting chaos. Harris never actually answers the question as to why they waited 3 years to attempt to stop the chaos at the executive level. And a reminder about those record setting numbers, they do not include the more than 1.9 million known gotaways who were recorded entering the U.S. without apprehension. Gotaways under Biden/Harris in 3 years were higher than the prior decade of Trump + Obama - combined and there were times when entire chunks of the border were left completely unmanned to focus resources on processing/mass catch & release instead.

There were days in 2022 & 2023 when 2,000+ gotaways were being recorded by CBP every day - while at the same time, the admin was falsely claiming the border was “closed” and “secure”. She just lied, as the administration has lied throughout her tenure as vice president. And it doesn't help that she doesn't have any facts on her side with this issue. None. The more she talk the worse it gets. This is why her next interviews are with The View, Colbert, and Stern. Her team knows she won't get ANY pushback from those people and she can just spout gibberish ad nauseum. (…)
