The roaring dumpster fire that is Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign took another hit during her appearance at a CNN town hall on Wednesday night with another disastrous showing by the failed “border czar” who was tripped up on a question about illegal immigration.
For the last two days, the vice president has inexplicably refrained from doing live rallies less than two weeks from the election and is instead focusing on nationally televised interviews and the town hall that was hosted by anchor Anderson Cooper isn’t likely to convince swing voters that she’s presidential material.
Harris fumbled her way through the event featuring Independent voters, spewing her usual incomprehensible word salads when pressed for straight answers by the surprisingly adversarial Cooper, with one memorable exchange being over her support for former President Donald J. Trump’s border wall that she had denounced as “stupid” before flip-flopping.
JUST IN: Kamala Harris tries making fun of Trump’s border wall before getting fact-checked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Harris started stuttering after Cooper asked her if she supports a border wall since she is “pro-border security” now.

“Let’s talk about this compromise bill that you want to pass if you are elected. You said that’s going to be a priority. It includes $650 million in funding for the border wall. That’s something Republicans wanted that was part of the compromise. Under Donald Trump, you criticized the wall more than 50 times. You called it ‘stupid, useless, and a medieval vanity project.’ Is a border wall stupid?” Cooper asked.
“Well let’s talk about Donald Trump on that border wall,” giggled Harris. “So remember, Donald Trump said Mexico would pay for it. Come on, they didn’t. How much of that wall did he build? I think the last number I saw was about 2 percent. And then when it came time for him to do a photo op, you know, where he did it? In the part of the wall that President Obama built.”
“But you agreed to a bill that would earmark $650 million to continue building that,” an unamused Cooper responded, pointing out that she now supports the “stupid” wall, pure hypocrisy that is based solely on politics.
“I pledge that I am going to bring forward that bipartisan bill to further strengthen and secure our border. Yes, I am, and I’m going to work across the aisle to pass a comprehensive bill that deals with a broken immigration system,” Harris answered with an obviously rehearsed non-answer.
“We need a president who is grounded in common sense and practical outcomes, like, let’s just fix this thing. Let’s just fix it. Why is there any ideological perspective on this? Let’s just fix the problem,” she added.
“So you don’t think it’s stupid anymore?” Cooper asked.
“I think what he did and how he did it was, did not make much sense because he actually didn’t do much of anything. I just talked about that wall, right? We just talked about it. He didn’t actually do much of anything,” Harris responded, another “Muh Trump” answer about the man who she only hours earlier had likened to Adolf Hitler.
To say that Harris failed to impress would be a huge understatement with even a CNN panel criticizing her performance.
“The things that would concern me is when she doesn’t want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go-to word salad city,” lamented political strategist David Axelrod. “And she did that on a couple of answers.”
“The word salad stuff gets on my nerves, I think some of the evasions are not necessary. But when she’s talking about trying to get you a house I believe her,” said former Obama official Van “whitelash” Jones.
“What I’m hearing from people who I’ve been talking to … if her goal was to close the deal, they’re not sure she did that,” Dana Bash said afterward, but the Harris supporter did put a sunny spin on an otherwise dismal performance.
“Having said that, any time that she can be in front of an audience and interacting with voters is a win as far as her campaign goes — and they are very happy about that,” Bash added.
