Tommy Wright: New candidate, same plan

Biden is out. Harris is in. The effort to recast her record as something it isn’t in full swing. VP Harris owns the entire Biden record, not only because she was an active partner in its execution, but also hid Biden’s decline from voters for three years.

Harris may be a new candidate, but she doesn’t come with a new record. She has been the co-pilot of the entire Biden disaster. Specifically, President Biden named her “border czar,” giving her the responsibility of dealing with the massive influx of illegal immigrants at the southern border. She failed miserably.

Not only did millions of illegal immigrants enter the country on her watch, so did criminal aliens who committed murder, rape, and other heinous crimes. Naturally, the media and leading Democrats are doing their best to memory hole this assignment.

Despite multiple video and audio examples of Harris being the border czar, her campaign continues to deny it. She cast the tie-breaking vote that unleashed inflation via the $1.9 trillion spending bill.

Harris represents the anti-police, pro-criminal mindset that was rejected by Virginia voters in 2021. She was a liberal prosecutor who backed defunding police, decriminalizing illegal immigration, and opposed the death penalty even for the most gruesome violent killers.

She is a California liberal who would bring the worst of that state’s far left ideas to the entire nation.

On her watch, the administration has pushed for a national EV mandate, limits on gas stoves, and other pie-in-the-sky ideas that make life more expensive for everyday Virginians. Harris even worked to raise money for a bail fund that helped get those arrested during the George Floyd riots in Minnesota out of jail.

This inconvenient fact has been given the memory-hole treatment as well. She helped cover up the serious health and cognitive issues that made Biden unfit to run, lying to the American people time after time.

Said simply, Harris is simply an extension of Biden’s terrible record. The only thing that would change with Harris in the White House would be the name on the desk. The policies would remain the same.
