JD Vance immigration slapdowns show Kamala Harris media lapdogs running headfirst into reality
Kudos to GOP veep nominee JD Vance for his recent of schooling arrogant Dem-lapdog journalists on the realities of the Harris-Biden border disaster.
First up?
His sitdown with the New York Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro, the Lebron James of lib smugness.
Garcia-Navarro smirked and smarmed her way through the convo until she tried to spring a gotcha on Vance.
The would-be veep has correctly cited a US housing shortage as a driver of home prices; Garcia-Navarro simpered that cracking down on illegal immigration would cripple the construction industry and prevent that shortage from being addressed.
Vance countered by noting the obvious point that the US built new homes without a flood tide of illegals in the 1950s and ’60s — and added that the new jobs implied by a housing buildout should go to the 7 million prime age American men who’ve stopped even looking for work.
Again Garcia-Navarro smugged, saying unemployment is already low; again Vance slapped her down, by pointing out that millions of labor-force dropouts don’t get counted towards the unemployment rate.
Garcia-Navarro certainly seemed like she was unaware of this basic fact and retreated to a stunned silence.
Far worse than her ignorance, however, were the obscene remarks of ABC’s Martha Raddatz.
Raddatz — doing a remarkable impression of a Pravda employee — insisted that the activities of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang in Aurora, Colo., were “limited to a handful of apartment complexes.”
As if that made murderous gangbangers waltzing across our open southern border somehow acceptable (and just imagine how Raddatz would be screeching if that “handful” of buildings was in her own posh nabe).
Vance brought the hammer down: “Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’ open border?”
Raddatz had nothing of substance to say in response, because there is no counterargument.
It’s bad news for Harris that these people are running head-first into reality — but great news for America.
