WATCH: Kamala Harris Crumbles In Yet Another Disastrous Primetime Town Hall
Reactions to Vice President Kamala Harris’ Delaware County, Pennsylvania town hall event — which has hosted by CNN — have not been kind after the vice president gave vague, nonsensical answers and failed to answer direct questions.
At one point in the event, Harris was confronted over her flip-flops on border policy. While campaigning for president in 2019, Harris came out in support of free health care for illegal aliens, called for illegal immigration to be decriminalized and referred to Trump’s border wall as a “racist” project. She is now claiming — after a record-setting 10 million illegal aliens entered the country under the Biden-Harris Administration — that she is in favor of a border wall and increased border security.

To that end, Harris has frequently accused Trump of killing a “bi-partisan border deal” that would have allowed 5,000 illegal aliens to enter the country every day, while providing pathways to citizenship for millions of border crossers. “To fix this problem, you’re doing this compromise bill, it does call for 650 million dollars that was earmarked under Trump to actually still go to build a wall,” Cooper noted.
“I’m not afraid of good ideas where they occur,” Harris jumped in, at which point Cooper shot back by asking, “you don’t think it’s stupid anymore?” in reference to the border wall.
“I think what he did and how he did it did not make much sense because he actually didn’t do much of anything. I just talked about that wall, right? We just talked about it he didn’t actually do much of anything,” the vice president replied.
When asked whether she wanted to now build the border wall, Harris said, “I want to secure our border.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Cooper asked Harris about a common campaign criticism in asking how she can be running as a “change” candidate despite the fact that she has been in office for nearly four years.
“I bring a whole set of different experiences to this job and the way I think about it than Joe Biden,” Harris declared.
“Some voters, though, might ask, you’ve been in the White House for four years. You were vice president, not the president. But why wasn’t any of that done for the last four years?” Cooper followed up. Harris replied with a vague, rambling answer in which she failed to answer the question.
“Well, there was a lot that was done, but there’s more to do, Anderson. And I’m pointing out things that need to be done that haven’t been done, but need to be done,” she said. “And I’m not gonna shy away from saying, ‘hey, these are still problems that we need to fix.”
At one point, a Pennsylvania voter asked the vice president about what her weaknesses are and how she goes about managing them as a leader. The vice president replied with an answer that could have been given by Michael Scott from “The Office.”
“Well, I am certainly not perfect. So let’s start there,” Harris said with a brief giggle.
“And I think that I perhaps a weakness some would say, but I actually think it’s a strength, is I really do value having a team of very smart people around me who bring to my decision-making process, different perspectives,” she continued. “My team will tell you I am constantly saying, let’s kick the tire on that. Let’s kick the tires on it.”
