Trump supporters are calling out Kamala Harris for flaunting the US-Mexico border wall in a campaign video — after ripping former President Trump for proposing such a barrier.
Two images of the wall birthed under the Trump administration flashed across her ad as a narrator touts her record as a “border-state prosecutor.”
“As president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.
Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris,” the male narrator says in the video released earlier this month.
The campaign ad also featured a flurry of other images, including Harris speaking at border-related press conferences and of border agents on the job — but Trump fans seized on the familiar-looking walls.
Mike Howell, the executive director of the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, screenshotted the two wall images in the ad and criticized her on social media.
“What is that in this ad?” he said on X Friday. “Looks like the @realDonaldTrump BORDER WALL to me!”
Howell’s post ignited a frenzy online, with other Trump supporters calling out Harris for her previous public opposition to the wall project.
“Hey Kamala Harris I thought ‘walls’ are racist? You and Biden stopped building a wall. Now you use it in your campaign video?” one user wrote.
Neither Harris nor her team referred to the wall featured in her ad, but the Democratic presidential nominee has repeatedly made it clear she doesn’t support the construction project.
Back in 2017, when she was a US Senator for California, Harris called the project a “stupid use of money” and vowed to block funding for it.
She continued to voice her opposition to the wall as Vice President despite its ongoing construction — the Biden administration was helpless to stop 20 miles of the wall’s erection because Congress wouldn’t rescind spending on it.
Under her watch as “Border Czar,” illegal crossings at the southern border exceeded those seen during the Trump administration by 140%, according to the House Committee on Homeland Security.
