The official union of the U.S. Border Patrol accused Vice President Kamala Harris of using her first border visit in over three years as a “photo op,” claiming that she just repeated the things that agents had already been saying. “Vice president Harris has ignored the border problem she created for over three years. She goes down there for 20 minutes for a photo op and decides to repeat some of the things the NPBC has said before. But again, where has she been the last 3 1/2 years?” the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) wrote in an X post. NBPC vice president Art Del Cueto made similar claims on an appearance on Fox News, saying that Harris did not even speak to any agents when she visited the U.S.-Mexico border in Douglas, Arizona, on Friday. “President Trump actually cares and he’s actually gone down there and met with boots on the ground,” Del Cueto said. During her short appearance in Douglas, Harris slammed former President Donald Trump for not “fixing” the problem. The Biden administration’s “climate envoy” John Kerry took heat recently for his comments about the First Amendment at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday. During a panel on Green Energy, an audience member asked the former secretary of state what can be done to combat so-called “disinformation” on the internet regarding “climate change,” Fox News reported on Sunday. “You know there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc.,” he said. “But look, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence,” Kerry added. Social media users were quick to offer comments on what Kerry said, one person writing, “Lurch doesn’t seem happy that his gatekeepers are no longer the only source of information these days.” “The first amendment is on the ballot folks,” another user said in reference to the upcoming presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris (D) and former President Donald Trump (R). “What a Piece of garbage! This is exactly why we have the 1st Amendment!” someone else commented. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” [Emphasis added.]
