Vice President Kamala Harris struggled during her interview with Fox News on Wednesday when confronted with the list of failures that have defined the Biden-Harris administration.

Anchor Bret Baier asked Harris about many of the far-Left positions that she has taken on illegal immigration in the past, including supporting “allowing immigrants in the country illegally to apply for driver’s license, to qualify for free tuition at universities, [and] to be enrolled in free health care.”

When asked if she still supported those things, Harris did not answer the question.

“Listen, that was five years ago, and I’m very clear that I will follow the law,” she claimed. “I have made that statement over and over again, and as Vice President of the United States, that’s exactly what I’ve done, not to mention before.”

Baier noted that the running mate she chose, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), signed those very things into law in his state.

“So do you support that?” Baier pushed.

“We are very clear, and I am very clear, as is Tim Walz, that we must support and enforce federal law, and that is exactly what we will do,” she claimed.

Harris, who struggled to answer nearly every question that she faced, had an especially hard time owning the administration’s border crisis.

When asked when she finally was able to admit to herself that the situation on the southern border was a crisis, Harris deflected and claimed that it was this way during former President Donald Trump’s administration, which is false.

“There were 90 plus executive orders that were rescinded in the first days. Many of those were Trump border policies,” Baier noted. “But you frequently talk to the Border Patrol Union for support of that bipartisan bill. And they did. They supported it — but they also just endorsed Donald Trump and said, you’ve been, quote, ‘a failure with border security.'”

“Why do you think they said that?” Baier asked.

“I think they’re frustrated. And I get it,” Harris said. “They want support. They want support, and that’s what that border security bill would have done. These guys down at the border, these men and women, they’re working hard. They’re working around the clock, I get it.”
