Vice President Kamala Harris, after years of decrying former President Donald Trump’s border wall as racist and un-American, is now using footage featuring that very wall in political ads for her 2024 presidential campaign — and CNN caught her at it.
“Out Front” anchor Erin Burnett ran with the story, noting Harris’ previous criticism of Trump’s border policies in general, and the wall specifically. She went on to point out that Harris, whose turn as President Joe Biden’s border czar has been marked with failures, took to using images of the border wall when it became clear that the American people opposed her open-borders policy.

Citing a K-File investigation, Burnett said that Harris had posted to social media more than 50 times since 2017 attacking Trump over the border wall.
“But now, new Harris campaign ads actually showcase that very wall,” Burnett continued, showing video that referenced Harris’ time as a “border state prosecutor” and painted her as tough on illegal immigration.

Burnett also referenced Harris’ 2019 book, in which she documented her opposition to the wall as follows: “But there was a bigger reason to oppose the border wall. A useless wall on the southern border would be nothing more than a symbol, a monument standing in opposition to not just everything I value, but to the fundamental values upon which this country was built. How could I vote to build what would be little more than a monument, designed to send the cold, hard message, ‘Keep out’?”
Since taking over the campaign in late July, after the Democratic Party summarily axed President Joe Biden from the 2024 ticket, Harris has had her media surrogates working overtime to distance her from the open-border policies that have marked the Biden-Harris administration’s approach to illegal immigration. That move comes in the wake of a number of highly publicized violent crimes tied to illegal aliens who entered the United States on Harris’ watch — in addition to polling that indicates a majority of Americans are in favor of much stronger enforcement of immigration laws.
