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

On Wednesday, the same day pro-Hamas extremists tore down and burned American flags in Washington, D.C. while chanting “Allahu Akbar” and waving Hamas terrorist flags, Arkansas GOP Sen. Tom Cotton introduced a bill that would terminate any visa and require deportation within 60 days of any non-citizen convicted of a criminal offense during a protest.

Senators Ted Budd (R-NC) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) co-sponsored the legislation titled the “No Visas for Violent Criminals Act.”

“The Biden administration’s inaction against pro-Hamas mobs has only emboldened these extremists. Our legislation makes clear that a green card does not give individuals the right to break our laws in support of anti-Semitic views,” Sen. Cotton stated.

The bill states:

Any alien who is convicted of a crime related to the alien’s conduct at and during the course of a protest that occurs at an institution of higher education or at a facility in the United States operated by a religious institution; involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of a Federal memorial or monument, including any veterans memorial … involving the intentional obstruction of any highway, road, bridge, or tunnel, is deportable.

If any alien is convicted of a deportable crime described in section 237(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act … any visa issued to such alien shall immediately be cancelled; and not later than 60 days after such conviction, such alien shall be removed from the United States.

On Wednesday, the extremists were protesting in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu giving a speech before the U.S. Congress. Much of the chaos unfolded at Union Station, where the extremists tore down three American flags and replaced them with Palestinian flags.

The extremists vandalized the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain with graffiti that said, “Hamas Is Coming” and “Zionists Go To Hell.”

Some of the extremists also carried Hamas flags or other flags that appeared to be linked to Islamic extremism, wore Hamas headbands, and carried pro-Nazi signs that spoke about Islam’s “Final Solution” for the Jewish State.
