Rep Vicente Gonzalez refuses to comment on Kamala Harris' 'good job' as 'border czar' under Biden's rule

WASHINGTON, DC: Texas Democratic Congressman Vicente Gonzalez declined to comment when questioned this week about Vice President Kamala Harris' "good job" as the "border czar" in charge of President Joe Biden's immigration agenda.

"Do you think Kamala Harris did a good job as border czar?" Gonzalez, who represents Texas’ 34th Congressional District, was asked in a House office building on Tuesday, July 23, per Fox News.

What was Rep Vicente Gonzalez's reply on Kamala Harris' border work?

"I don’t know that she was a border czar, was she a border czar?" Vicente Gonzalez enquired, seemingly mirroring the efforts of media outlets to retract that job description in light of Kamala Harris' apparent Democratic candidacy for president.

"She was a border czar, a couple years ago, do you think she did a good job as the border czar?" Gonzalez was asked again. "You should know that," the Congressman responded before walking away.

Rep Vicente Gonzalez becomes second Democrat to dodge questions on Kamala Harris' border work

Vicente Gonzalez is the second Democratic member of the House in as many days to decline to directly respond to a question regarding Kamala Harris' immigration record since Joe Biden selected her in 2021 to assist with the border problem.

She was quickly dubbed the "border czar" by Republicans and mainstream media, a term that Democrats have refuted.

Rep Emilia Sykes also declined to provide an answer on Kamala Harris' border question

Democratic Representative Emilia Sykes also declined to respond when asked on Tuesday in the House office building about Kamala Harris' work on illegal immigration.

Republicans will probably use Harris' immigration record as a major talking point to mobilize voters against her now that she is almost certain to be the Democratic nominee for president.

Republican Senate candidates in swing states, such as Ohio's Bernie Moreno, have already released advertisements criticizing Harris' stance on immigration and drawing comparisons between her record and incumbents further down the ballot.

Internet calls out Rep Vicente Gonzalez after he refuses to comment on Kamala Harris' immigration record 

Netizens berated the Texas Democrat and Kamala Harris after the former didn't pass any remark on her poor and rather alarming immigration record.

One X user tweeted, "Democrat congress people should be careful what they wish for because Kamala is left of the left." Another said, "Typical, dem liar!!!!" 

"Of course she was made border czar! All attempts to deny this documented fact is just more gaslighting and lies by Democrats and mainstream news. Harris has been a disaster and total failure as VP, DA of San Francisco and AG of California. She’s unfit to be president based on her track record of incompetence and failure," remarked one individual.

"Imagine being a communist and then being called Czar by other leftists? Don’t they know about the last czar?" asked someone else.
