Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) recently sounded off on Vice President Kamala Harris for her promise to secure the southern border amid the massive influx of illegal immigration that has occurred under her watch. Cotton suggested that Harris trying to solve the border crisis would be like the late O.J. Simpson “promising to find the real killer.”
During a rally in Arizona earlier this month, Harris maintained that if she were elected president, she would enact “strong border security.” However, at the beginning of President Biden’s term, he tapped Harris to lead the charge on dealing with illegal immigration, where she has already had several years to take such action.
Ironically, Harris claimed that Trump has not taken action on the border. “He talks a big game about border security but he does not walk the walk,” Harris said the audience at the rally. “We know our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it: comprehensive reform. That includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.”
Cotton addressed Harris’ comments in a post on X, reading, “Kamala Harris promising to secure the border is like O.J. Simpson promising to find the real killer.” The Arkansas senator called out Harris in separate comments, “Kamala Harris is hiding from the press because every time she speaks, she reminds the American people she is a radical San Francisco liberal. He also said, “We don’t need to speculate what Kamala would do as President–just look at the Biden-Harris record. Inflation, an open border, and chaos around the world.”
The American Tribune reported on recent comments from Cotton, who doubled down on the assertion that Vice President Harris is a “San Francisco liberal who cannot keep this country safe” under her leadership. At the time, Harris’ presidential campaign was fresh, but the GOP senator noted that Harris was already demonstrating ineptitude.
Cotton said during the CNN interview, “Only a week into her presidential campaign and we see why she is a dangerous, liberal. I saw Kamala Harris up close for four years on the Senate Intelligence Committee. What the American people see this week is just a small sampling of what she would do to make America less safe and make the world more chaotic. Remember, she took credit for a lot of the worst decisions of the Biden administration she said, you were right there when they decided on the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is who Kamala Harris always has been. This is who she will be a San Francisco liberal who cannot keep this country safe.”
Cotton highlighted the disastrous impact of President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership failures. “Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, everything has gone to hell, and it will be much worse under Kamala Harris, just look at her record. She wants to ban private health insurance. She wants to ban fossil fuel production. She wants to ban guns. She wants, even wants to ban plastic,” he said.
