Kamala once called Trump’s border wall a “medieval vanity project.”

Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has flip-flopped on the border wall, now says she’s prepared to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the border wall, a project associated with Donald Trump’s first term in office.
In her speech to the Democratic National Convention last week, Harris said she would revive and sign a bipartisan border security bill that Trump had opposed because it did not go far enough to stem the open border policies of the Biden-Harris administration.

The VP has also called Trump’s border a “medieval vanity project" in 2019. Although she claims to have moved to the center on immigration by reportedly embracing the wall, she is still opposed to family separation and the mass deportations the Trump has committed his potential presidency to. Harris also pushed the hoax that border agents were whipping immigrants.

View on X“How much longer will the mainstream media allow Kamala Harris to hide and use staff to speak on her behalf? It’s DAY 37 of ZERO interviews and Kamala’s anonymous campaign sources are now claiming she supports President Trump’s border wall — this is a preposterous and false claim.” the campaign said.
“Kamala’s RECORD proves she is pro-open border. She called the wall ‘un-American,’ a ‘waste of taxpayer money,’ ‘medieval,’ and it isn't going to ‘stop’ illegal immigration. As a senator, Kamala tried to President Trump's construction of the border wall. As Border Czar, Kamala Harris construction of the border wall. Kamala’s ACTIONS speak much louder than the WORDS of the anonymous staff she is cowering behind."
