Whoopi Goldberg claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris — now the Democratic Party’s de facto 2024 nominee — was never the Border Czar, and in the same breath claimed that Republicans were the ones who didn’t “like facts.”
Goldberg repeated the current media narrative around Harris and the southern border, insisting that despite multiple reports at the time saying she’d been put in charge of the border — and even referring to her as the Border Czar — she had never actually been put in charge of the border.

“Let’s get some factual information,” Goldberg began. “Kamala Harris was never the border czar, never. Her job was to deal and find out the root causes of migration from Central America. That was what Biden asked her to do, to lead diplomatic efforts to reduce poverty, violence, corruption in the northern triangle — Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.”
“Now, if y’all ain’t sure about this, ask Joe Biden,” Goldberg continued. “He gave her the job. She made sure that she went to all these countries to see what was going on; that was the job she was asked to do and that’s what she did.”
Goldberg left out the fact that despite any efforts Harris may have made to find the “root causes” of migration — and thus stem the tide that has overwhelmed the border almost since the day President Joe Biden took office — the illegal immigration numbers have only gotten worse since she was tapped to handle the situation.

And while Goldberg is correct in stating that Biden did not officially name Harris the Border Czar, the White House made no effort to correct the dozens of media outlets that referred to her using that term. In fact, it was not until President Joe Biden’s abrupt exit from the 2024 presidential race — and Harris’ elevation to de facto nominee — that the vice president and her media surrogates began their concerted efforts to separate her from any responsibility she may have had at the border.
