In a scathing criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee did not hold back in her assessment of Harris and her potential presidential ambitions. Blackburn highlighted the glaring lack of action on Harris’s part concerning the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
Blackburn posed a series of pointed questions, “If Harris really has what it takes to step up as the nation’s leader, why hasn’t she done anything about the border crisis? Why hasn’t she addressed the national security crisis that is unfolding before our very eyes?”
Sen. @VoteMarsha: “I think if [Kamala Harris] wanted to say she was ready to step up, why hasn't she stepped up as the border czar? Why hasn't she addressed this humanitarian crisis at the southern border? Why hasn't she addressed the national security crisis?” pic.twitter.com/YDVd2T8uJF

But that is not all. Blackburn went on to highlight the dangerous role of cartels in exacerbating the border crisis. She described them as “international global business organizations” engaged in blood-curdling activities like drug trafficking and human and sex trafficking. “If someone would show leadership, they should start there,” Blackburn said.
The Senator concluded with a call to action, urging the Vice President to prioritize the safety and security of the American people and secure the border. “Get this border secured, and ensure the American people know the administration’s priority is to secure the nation.”
Blackburn’s comments come at a time when the Biden administration faces a torrent of criticism over its handling of border security. The Senator stressed the gravity of the situation by drawing attention to the fact that “people from 176 different countries came to that southern border last year.”
The facts are clear. The Biden administration’s handling of border security is a disaster. The humanitarian crisis at the southern border is reaching unprecedented levels, and cartels are taking over our borders. The situation calls for immediate attention, and the administration needs to act before it is too late.
The American people deserve better. They deserve leaders who prioritize their safety, security, and well-being. It’s time for President Biden and Vice President Harris to do what’s right and secure our borders. The fate of our country is at stake, and the American people are watching.
