And one big sign may be at the border – and Chris Wallace of all people may have figured it out.
Not too long ago, Fox News host Chris Wallace called out the “real reason” why Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t want to go to the disastrous border.
Chris says that she might not “want her fingerprints” on the border crisis.
I think he’s right – she’s avoiding the border literally and figuratively like it’s the plague…but it’s not just about what people perceive today – she doesn’t want her “fingerprints” on it for much bigger reasons “tomorrow” and beyond.
Chris made the comments while discussing the fact that Harris has yet to visit the border despite the fact that Joe Biden has put her in charge of the crisis that many say he created.
“It doesn’t seem that they have much of an answer to the crisis at the border,” Wallace said. “Maybe that’s the reason that they are not pushing it. And you know, it’s so interesting, because when the President first said that he was putting Kamala Harris, his vice president, in charge of the border, the sense was that he was putting her in charge of the border, the whole issue.”
“And then a day or so later, the clarification came, well, no, she is not in charge of the border, she is in charge of diplomacy with Mexico and with the northern triangle countries to try to stem the flow to the border,” he added.
“She has had a couple of phone calls with top officials in those countries, but she hasn’t gone to the border, and she hasn’t gone to the northern triangle, and she hasn’t gone to Mexico, which kind of makes you wonder whether she knows this is a mess and doesn’t want her fingerprints on it.”
“When you see these videos that you have just shown of the kids being dropped from the wall or that little boy deserted in the desert or more importantly the tremendous and terrible overcrowding of CBP facilities, 20,000 people in federal custody, 172,000 border stops in the month of March — I think we’re way past the point where you can even pretend this isn’t a crisis at the border,” Wallace said. “It is. It’s a humanitarian crisis. It’s an immigration national sovereignty crisis. There’s no two ways around it. The question is, what are you going to do about it.”
Watch:
It makes sense…a new “president” wouldn’t want her fingerprints all over a complete disaster – she’d rather leave that with her predecessor.
She’d rather blame it on the “other guy,” who by that time, will likely be painted as a complete inept buffoon (which won’t be a difficult message to sell) to the American people, and any “mistakes” that were made will be neatly excused by that fact.
And waa-laa, Kamala gets a clean slate.
I think this is yet another sign that Kamala is waiting in the wings ready to take over sooner than later – and while I don’t agree with Chris Wallace often, I think he’s right here.
