Axios and CNN Push New Psyop: No Matter What You Remember, You’re “Confused” If You Believe that Kamala Harris Was Ever Biden’s “Border Czar”

by Ace

Kamala Harris oversaw the dissolution of the border. This is now one of the biggest issues in politics — and she’s directly responsible.

So she called up her palz at Axios (Politico for Kidz (TM)) and propaganda mill CNN to tell them to push a new storyline: There’s “confusion” about Kamala being the Border Czar.

All of you who remember Biden putting her in charge of the border are just hallucinating. The new Revised Reality says she was never in charge of the border.

And if you continue saying otherwise, we’ll deplatform you as a lunatic pushing disinformation.

Haxios:

In early 2021, President Biden enlisted Vice President Kamala Harris to help with a slice of the migration issue — a move that has turned into one of the newly-presumptive presidential nominee’s first campaign headaches.Why it matters: Confusion around the VP’s exact role, early media misfires and the rapidly changing regional migration crisis has made the issue a top target for the GOP trying to define their new opponent. And it has become even more critical for Harris’ to find a clear border message, fast.

The administration’s early infighting, blame-shifting and indecision around their border response does not help her, either.

Driving the news: In the past few days, the Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the “border czar” title — which she never actually had.

“Harris was appointed ‘border czar’ in March of 2021, and since that time, millions and millions of illegal aliens have invaded our country and countless Americans have been killed by migrant crime because of her willful demolition of America borders and laws,” Trump told reporters on a call on Tuesday.

House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik introduced a resolution condemning the administration and its “Border Czar” for failing to secure the U.S.

Harris supporters have rushed to her defense. “She assumed the role that Vice President Biden had during the Obama administration, which is diplomacy with Central America,” former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson told Fox News on Tuesday. “She is not the border czar.”

How we got here: In March 2021, Biden tapped Harris to lead the administration’s coordination with Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, which were key sources of migration to the border.

The announcement led to near immediate confusion in the media and in the White House over how involved Harris would be, with Republicans and some news outlets, including Axios, giving Harris the unofficial monicker of “border czar.”

Shortly after, the border surge had grown into a full-blown humanitarian and political crisis.

The “border czar” narrative stuck especially in conservative circles, and calls mounted in the spring of 2021 for Harris to visit the border.

Note that many people, including Haxios itself, previously reported that she was the border czar.

So they have to claim that there was just so much “confusion” about this that we were all deceived by our eyes and ears.

She was never appointed, officially, “border czar” — merely given responsibility over a “slice” of the issue, namely, to get three of the biggest sources of illegal migration to cut down the flow of illegals.

And did they? No. So she failed in her “slice” of the issue.

Of course, Haxios was itself “confused” — they previously reported that Kamala was “the border czar.”

Ed Morrissey notes that of course she was never formally named “Border Czar,” because “czar” is and always has been an unofficial posting.
