The View’s Whoopi Goldberg reads from notecard claiming ‘Kamala Harris was never the ‘border czar” – Washington Examiner
During a recent episode of “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg addressed the claims that Vice President Kamala Harris was labeled as the “border czar.” While reading from a notecard, Goldberg emphasized that Harris was never assigned this title but was tasked by President Biden to tackle the root causes of migration from Central America. She highlighted that Harris’s responsibilities included leading diplomatic efforts to address issues such as poverty, violence, and corruption in countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Goldberg urged viewers to seek factual information about Harris’s role rather than relying on misinformation, and she criticized those who attack her without acknowledging the facts. Fellow co-host Joy Behar chimed in, reminding the audience of former President Trump’s role in halting a significant bipartisan border legislation.
The View’s Whoopi Goldberg reads from notecard claiming ‘Kamala Harris was never the ‘border czar”
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg repeated a Democratic talking point that Vice President Kamala Harris is “not the ‘border czar‘” while reading off a notecard during the ABC show Wednesday.
“Let’s also, let’s get some factual information, right? Kamala Harris was never the ‘border czar.’ Never,” Goldberg said during a show panel discussion about dueling 2024 campaign ads from Harris and former President Donald Trump about the border crisis.
She continued to read from a notecard in her explanation.
“Her job was to deal and find out the root causes of migration from Central America. That was what Biden asked her to do. To lead diplomatic efforts to reduce poverty, violence, corruption in the Northern Triangle: Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador,” Goldberg read.
“Now, if y’all ain’t sure about this, ask Joe Biden. He gave her the job. She made sure that she went to all these countries to see what was going on,” she added. “That was the job she was asked to do, and that’s what she did.”
“So, if you’re going to go after her, at least try to be factual. I know you don’t like to do — they don’t like facts. They don’t like facts. I get it. I get annoyed,” Goldberg said.
Co-host Joy Behar said that “people need to be reminded” that Trump “killed the border bill.”
The legislation that Behar referred to was a $118 billion bipartisan bill that many conservatives in Congress rejected as an “amnesty bill.” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said the bill that the former president opposed would have accepted “5,000 illegal immigrants a day and gives automatic work permits to asylum recipients — a magnet for more illegal immigration.”
Harris had been given the informal title of “border czar” in 2021 when President Joe Biden tasked her with handling the “root causes” of mass migration coming from Central and South America.
Following Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 election and his endorsement of Harris as the Democratic candidate in the presidential race, talking points about the immigration record of the vice president began circulating among Democratic lawmakers. The White House denied knowledge of the talking points.
