The latest circus act in the political realm features none other than Vice President Kamala Harris, who has officially been banned from Harris County, Texas. Yes, you read that right; the self-proclaimed “border czar” is apparently not welcome in the very county that shares her name. The Harris County Republican Party, which represents the conservative heart in a heavily Democrat-leaning Houston, took to social media to send a clear message: they’d rather have a cat in charge than the vice president of the United States.
In an extraordinary display of political weak sauce, Harris decided to grace the American Federation of Teachers annual convention in Houston instead of addressing the ever-deteriorating border situation that Texans have been grappling with. One could almost hear the collective groan as she chose to pander to union bosses instead of showing up to face the folks dealing with real issues. This latest abandonment of Texan concerns simply underlines her tendency to talk a big game while conveniently avoiding the real crises that affect everyday Americans.

Even amidst her much-touted demographic of “educators,” Harris couldn’t escape scrutiny. The local Republican chairwoman, Cindy Siegel, made it crystal clear. In her fiery denunciation, she emphasized how Harris’s visit was another nail in the coffin of her credibility and connection to Texas issues. Speaking at a teachers’ union meeting while skipping an unabated border crisis is about as tone-deaf as it gets. For someone in the position of “border czar,” one might think a trip to the border would be a bare minimum requirement to prove she’s actually doing her job.
But it goes beyond just her blatant disregard for the border crisis. Siegel highlighted a consistent theme as she criticized the vice president for her perceived role in attempting to hush up President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. The Democrats elevated Harris without earning a single vote in her name, which raises eyebrows about her legitimacy. It’s a wonder how they can keep spinning this narrative when the evidence is pounding on the front door like a persistent salesman.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media has been attempting to rewrite history by acting as if Harris never even assumed this “border czar” title legally bestowed upon her. While they might be successful in some areas of spin, they certainly can’t erase the past. Brilliant videos on the social media platform X have begun making waves, showcasing some so-called journalists swinging back and forth between calling her the border czar and denying they ever did. The effort to bury that little fact isn’t going unnoticed.
In the grand scheme of things, Harris’s problems are stacking up like laundry on a Sunday morning. With her avoidance of the border, the spin surrounding her legitimacy, and her part in the “cognitive cover-up” of Biden, she has a trifecta of issues that Republicans are sure to hammer home. The Harris County GOP deserves a round of applause for nailing these vulnerabilities as the countdown to a possible Harris candidacy intensifies. Keep watching because it seems the vice president is only continuing to dig deeper into her own political grave.
