On CNN's “The Source” broadcast on Wednesday, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris for “what happened in her administration. He argued that the declaration “must be held responsible” was not applicable. When it came to the border under the Biden-Harris administration, she was.
Host Caitlan Collins said, “Earlier in the interview, when discussing the provision of services to transgender people in the vast federal prison system, Harris claimed that President Trump had similar policies.'' And she said at one point: [be responsible] What happened in your administration? 'But when you've been asked questions about the border for the past three-and-a-half years, does the same apply to her?'
Fetterman replied: The whole situation, if you want to talk about borders, I'm clear that borders are an issue, but I don't see why it's controversial for Democrats to say we need such a secure border. . . But we also have to admit that Trump totally tanked. He called on Republicans to tank and tank a bipartisan border deal. And I voted for it, but the Republicans rejected it, and it was a great bill. And Republicans…agreed that that was great. And now Trump has said this is too valuable in the election, so he's going to weaponize it and say how he's going to talk about it. The border needs to be secure, and I unequivocally agree with that, and that the bill was whitewashed by Trump. ”
