Biden “border czar” and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris claims if elected she’ll build a wall at the southern border, a bizarre reversal on an initiative first spearheaded by former President Donald Trump.
Harris announced her renewed commitment to securing the border during her speech at the Democrat National Convention last week, stating she’d support a bipartisan border security bill, which incidentally includes $650 million in funding for building Trump’s wall.
Harris’ support for a physical barrier at the border comes in light of previous vocal criticism of Trump’s wall, which she once dubbed a “medieval vanity project.”
Congress did not appropriate these funds for Trump’s medieval vanity project. Let’s be clear: Trump’s wall has never been about keeping the American people safe. https://t.co/tlZ9GRp7Wd

As I said, Trump’s border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won’t make us any safer.https://t.co/YFK7yb3SHX

Trump’s border wall is just a stupid use of money. I will block any funding for it.

JUST IN: Kamala Harris wants to build a border wall after telling people for years that walls are a bad idea and don’t work.
Kamala Harris has also dyed her hair gold and has changed her last name to Trump.

Pressed on the flip-flop by Axios, a Harris advisor claimed the bill “didn’t include any new money to continue building the wall,” however, Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) who negotiated the bill told Axios it most certainly contains wall funding.
“It requires the Trump border wall,” Lankford said. “It is in the bill itself that it sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration: Here’s where it will be built. Here’s how it has to be built, the height, the type, everything during the Trump construction.”
Trump running mate JD Vance blasted Harris for not using her current term to implement the initiative.
Kamala Harris is a fake.
If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now! https://t.co/EXyBzk1DpR

The support for the wall comes as ABC mocked a new Harris campaign ad earlier this week that absurdly featured images of Trump’s wall while claiming she’ll be tough on the border.
ABC just CALLED OUT Kamala Harris for using video of President Trump’s border wall in her new ads
If even *ABC* is calling her out for her hypocrisy, you know it’s REALLY bad

Harris is now also facing scrutiny for co-opting yet another popular Trump idea in efforts to swoon undecided voters, following her campaign’s theft of the former president’s “no tax on tips” policy and his campaign’s child tax credit initiative.
Social media users trolled Harris for once again copying Trump’s homework.
They must be joking at this point

Kamala didn’t flop in the order wall, she just wanted it to spark joy.

Harris’ running mate Tim Walz’s previous “ladder factory” statement slamming the wall also recirculated in the wake of her newfound support for the project.

Others tried to predict which policies she’ll steal next.
First she stole no tax on tips, then she stole JD Vance’s parents tax credit, and now she’s going to build the wall after calling it racist for 8 years.
I now fully expect Kamala to tweet “drill baby drill” and “keep men out of women’s sports” in the next few days. https://t.co/7QYpPASsb9

X users also pointed out when the Biden-Harris regime took power on Day One it halted work on Trump’s wall, leaving tons of steel fencing rusting near construction sites.
Kamala will never be able to run away from this
She and Biden wasted billions of taxpayer dollars — and costed countless lives — to halt border wall construction for politics
The steel bollards are rusting in piles to this day https://t.co/rzcy4A4Bkk pic.twitter.com/4n6R1BrQ7K

While Democrats flail with their newly installed deeply flawed candidate – who has yet to release her policies and constantly avoids the press – stealing Trump’s ideas is their only option.
OK, WHO DID THIS???
