Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Vice President Kamala Harris during a press conference this week after she launched her presidential campaign and effectively locked up the Democratic presidential nomination in just 24 hours following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he was ending his campaign.
DeSantis correctly noted that Harris was rated as the most far-left member of the U.S. Senate, a fact that the media has attempted to bury this week in addition to the media rewriting history surrounding Biden putting Harris in charge of the border.
“I think that … her tenure as VP has been disastrous,” DeSantis said during the press conference. “She was put in charge of the border. The media was running with that in 2021. Now they’re saying, ‘Well, no, she wasn’t overseeing the border’.”
He said that all the same reporters who correctly reported in 2021 that she was placed in charge of the border are now “writing the opposite.”
“They’re running interference for her because, of all the failures, that border ranks near the top of the failures of the Biden-Harris administration,” he said. “If you go back and watch her statements for when she was running for president in the 2020 cycle, I mean, she basically said, have an open border, she wants taxpayer-funded health care and benefits for illegal aliens. She doesn’t think you should deport somebody. So she is, as bad as Biden has been on that, she’s even more liberal on that.”
He also highlighted her record of wanting to force all Americans onto a government health care program, supporting confiscatory tax increases, being weak on crime, and supporting rioters who were arrested during the violent Black Lives Matter riots in 2020.
DeSantis posted the clip on X and added that she also wanted to destroy the oil and gas industry and confiscate the guns of law-abiding citizens.
“The Democrats are only excited about Kamala Harris at the moment because they no longer have a candidate who’s catatonic. But she may fall flat on her face before the convention,” he added.
He noted that she was forced to drop out of the Democratic primary in 2020 before any of the voting started because she failed to gain any traction with Democratic primary voters.
“She’s a lousy candidate and would be an even worse president,” he added.
WATCH:
Kamala Harris was the most liberal U.S. Senator in Congress.
She wanted to get rid of private insurance, eliminate oil & gas, provide benefits to illegal aliens, and confiscate the guns of law-abiding citizens.
Then Joe Biden appointed her as “border czar” and we all know how… pic.twitter.com/SG6UhPs0rl
