**Failure** seems to be the hallmark of the Biden-Harris administration, and Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, is eager to deflect blame from his wife amid mounting criticism of their leadership.
During an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Emhoff claimed it was unfair to hold Harris accountable for the failures attributed to the administration over the past three and a half years, arguing that she is “not the president.”
While Emhoff tries to insulate his wife from scrutiny, many Americans are acutely aware that Harris has not only been part of Joe Biden’s inner circle but has also been designated as the “Border Czar.” Under her watch, the U.S. has faced one of the worst border crises in history, characterized by rampant illegal immigration and escalating drug trafficking that has claimed lives across the country.
House Republicans, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Speaker Mike Johnson, have called out Harris for her role in exacerbating these crises. They assert that her contributions to the administration's policy decisions cannot be overlooked.
In fact, harrowing statistics show that approximately 150 Americans die each day due to opioid overdoses, a crisis that has worsened alongside languishing border security. Those in the GOP argue that the Vice President’s advocacy for open borders and opposition to American energy independence has compounded the threat to American communities, all while enriching foreign adversaries.
Moreover, Harris’s past endorsements of movements calling to “Defund the Police” indicate a troubling alignment with radical elements seeking to undermine law enforcement, and her connections to organizations like the Minnesota Freedom Fund raise further questions about her willingness to compromise public safety.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign did not hold back in their critique of Emhoff’s comments, stating, “Kamala bears no responsibility for the Biden-Harris failures because she’s only the second most powerful person in the country, not the first.”
This dismissive characterization reveals a glaring contradiction, especially given President Biden’s own admissions regarding Harris's significant influence over key decisions, including the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Despite Emhoff’s efforts to shield his wife from accountability, the reality remains: Kamala Harris is deeply embedded in the fabric of this administration’s failures and must own her role in the ongoing crises threatening the nation. Voters must remember this as they consider the implications of the Biden-Harris leadership on American security and prosperity.
