Kamala Harris has now gone five full weeks since securing her party's nomination for the presidency without holding a single press conference or giving a full interview to any major media outlets. The nation's voters remain in the dark about what new policy initiatives she might put in place if elected. But that hasn't stopped her campaign team from releasing additional campaign advertisements. Yet another of these ads was making the rounds this weekend and there really isn't any other way to describe it than "shameless." The title of the ad is "Tougher" and it touts Harris' supposed record as a "border state prosecutor." Adding insult to injury, the ad features two different shots of sections of the existing border wall. That would be the wall that Donald Trump built and Kamala Harris criticized him for building. The public mocking began almost immediately. (NY Post)

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.

You can watch the ad below and judge for yourself. It's not very long. 

The Heritage Foundation quickly led the way in ridiculing the advertisement. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.

🤔 What is that in this ad?

Looks like the @realDonaldTrump BORDER WALL to me! https://t.co/QeNVJNjOcD pic.twitter.com/QFugDm7bjc

We obviously have far too many people out there who are so desperate to defeat the Bad Orange Man that they will happily slurp up anything the Harris/Walz campaign is dishing out, which is unfortunate. But for anyone who is still clinging to a few iotas of common sense and rational thinking, watching this advertisement has to feel like an insulting slap in the face. The narrator in the ad claims that Harris will "hire thousands more border agents" and plans to "crack down" on drug running and human trafficking.

Kamala Harris doesn't dare stand in front of reporters and try to pull off a line like this. The reason is obvious. Her team is claiming that she will do all of these wonderful things in the future if she is elected president. Why hasn't she already done them? Why isn't she doing them now? She's had nearly four years to address these challenges and she's the border czar. The ad further declares that "fixing the border is tough, but Kamala Harris is tougher." (I was worried I might lose my breakfast while typing that line.)

Is Kamala's excuse for not doing anything about this while in office that it was all Joe Biden's fault? To a certain extent, that's obviously true because he was the President. But did she have absolutely no influence over his policies? She met with him almost daily and there must be a television available somewhere in the White House. They could see the rolling disaster that their policies delivered. And why did she accept the assignment as border czar if she wasn't going to be allowed to do anything about the border crisis?

Kamala Harris has spent the last four years basically on vacation. Perhaps that shouldn't be all that surprising since she was following the lead of her boss who broke all records for the number of vacation days he took. She accomplished nothing of substance and failed miserably at the few tasks she was officially given. Now we're expected to simply develop a case of amnesia and pretend that a new, vastly more capable and effective version of Kamala 2.0 will emerge from her cocoon in January and set everything to rights. Pull the other one, lady. It's got bells on it.
