I notice that she had no intentions of going to the border until trump announced he was going..

[whatprivilege]

It is so funny that there is not one positive comment on here about her. Nobody voted for these two & America knows it. Trump2020won

[MM-vjgc]

She’s beyond pathetic…only 5 months too late and 800 miles away from the actual crisis!! This administration sucks

[just_janen_]

Trump made her do it. Trump still a pain in the butt for this Whitehouse.

[larrybruce]

Millions have "buyers remorse" after voting for Biden and Harris. Bring back President Trump to make "AMERICA FIRST" and to "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" !!!

[elblancochingon]

She'll be taking a few pics, eating lunch(probably on the plane) and heading back under the desk in the oval office

[ikemike]

More smoke and mirrors from hogleg harris!

[CCPLord]

Karma girl is not even going to where the real border issues are.

[themodonyoutube]

Trolled into submission. Lol no good PR from this.

[kristiebates]

Touring a processing center - yeah, that'll give you first hand view of what's happening 😒

[eaglerider]

Can I call B.S. I am now watching her press conference where she is standing 50ft in front of her plane and has not visited anything . Save the press conference for after you have actually done something .

[Md-jvpw]

The good folks of El Paso had some lovely banners waiting for her..." QUE MALA", " TRUMP WON", " CAN YOU HEAR CHILDREN CRYING" etc etc.

[bradleyriles]

To El Paso 800 miles away from the kids in cages.

[coffeefilter]

As a matter of reference to those not familiar with this area of the United States:
El Paso, TX is about 800 miles from the main problem area, McAllen, TX.
For comparison, Paris, France is (as the crow flies) about 800 miles from Naples, Italy.

[georgelangheinrich]

She is 750 miles away from where the problem exists. She’s also 93 days late.
The people flooding into this country are not only coming from Mexico but from Iran, Syria and Iraq. Not exactly our friends.

[Ronbo]

El Paso?. That's like going to Beverly Hills during the LA riots lmfao.

[gloriakincade]

Why won't the mainstream media show all the signs welcoming her, showing how the community there feels about what is going on?

[jamesallen]

I couldn't post what I thought about our VP and the today show.dont you love freedom of speech.

[briandouglas]

She never went to the Border. She went to Texas.

[orangexylem]

After her stupid remark in that interview, I'm glad she realized her mistake. Not too many politicians will admit they were wrong. Go Kamala!
