Not to mention there was an actual tough border bill (HR2) that had actually passed the House. Kamala’s fake-tough bill didn’t pass anything. So the “toughest” claim is flat-out wrong. MSM doesn’t care. https://t.co/eYrfncnSAh

And does Kamala say there are things Trump said about immigration that “deserved to be said”? It’d contradict her party’s current essence-even if she’s now pretending to be tough on the border. I suspect that’s why Ellis left immigration off his list (of good things Trump said)?

Ellis should write the speech Kamala should give, or the ad she could run, saying “Trump said things that deserved to be said” but now should retire. Maybe it can be done. (Now try to imagine Kamala giving it… I could see Shapiro giving it.) https://t.co/6DbVkpWvto
