JD Vance accuses Kamala Harris of flip-flopping about border wall – and is immediately slapped down

JD Vance accused Kamala Harris of flip-flopping about the border wall, but was immediately slapped down by critics because he voted against a bipartisan bill that would have tightened security at the border.

Republicans have sought to use immigration and the border to attack the Harris-Walz campaign ahead ofNovember’s presidential election.

In the latest attempt to slam the Democratic ticket, Vance referenced a report headlined: “Harris flip-flops on building the border wall.”

The Republican vice presidential nominee posted a link to the Axios report on X and said: “Kamala Harris is a fake. If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now!”

However he was quickly called out, with many pointing out that Republicans tanked a bipartisan immigration and border security bill in the Senate back in May following pressure from Donald Trump.

The bill – which would have provided the president with the authority to shut down the asylum system if unauthorized border crossings reached a certain monthly threshold – had initially seemed set up for success.

It included $650m on wall spending, significantly less than the $18bn Trump asked for when he was president in 2018.

But the bill quickly collapsed after Trump and his loyalists in the House and Senate GOP came out against it.

Trump was reportedly infuriated with Republicans joining with Democrats on one of his key campaign issues.

Responding to Vance, former GOP representative Adam Kinzinger – who urged Republican voters at the DNC to abandon Trump and support Harris – pointed out the irony of the Ohio senator calling Harris a “fake”.

«BREAKING,» Kinzinger quipped. «In the irony of all ironies, @JDVance calls Kamala Harris ‘fake.’»
