Kamala Harris snaps back at anchor when asked about border visit

PROBLEMS OF THE BORDER, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE PEOPLE TO FLEE TO THE BORDER. >> Dana: VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FACING PRESSURE FROM SNAPPING BACK. LET'S BRING IN A CHAIR, RONNA McDANIEL. ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, WITH TEN BEING THE ABSOLUTE WORST, HOW THEY GET A STRATEGIC BLUNDER HASN'T BEEN FOR VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS TO HAVE NOT GONE TO THE BORDER IMMEDIATELY? >> I THINK IT'S 11. WE ARE KNOWN TO BE AT A CRISIS POINT. THIS IS DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF THEE BIDEN HERE IS POLICY. SHE HAS BEEN IN CHARGE OF IT AND IS REFUSING TO EVEN ASK SIMPLE QUESTIONS THAT I THINK SHE SHOULD EXPECT. WHY HAVEN'T YOU GONE TO THE BORDER? IT HAS BEEN 79 DAYS. YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF THIS CRISIS, AND YOU ARE MISSING IN ACTION. >> Dana: I WANTED TO ASK YOU MORE ABOUT THIS. OBVIOUSLY SHE IS A BIT OF A LIGHTNING ROD. SHE IS PROBABLY GOING TO GET ATTACKED BY REPUBLICANS. SO BE IT. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE A REPORT ON THE ELECTION IN 2020. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I SAID ABOUT MINORITIES AND VOTING. VOTERS OF COLOR ARE PERSUASION VOTERS WHO NEED TO BE CONVINCED. REPUBLICAN ATTENDS TO BRANCH DEMOCRATS AS RADICALS WORKS. COVID-19 AFFECTED EVERYTHING IN OUR HOPES FOR 202020 WERE JUST TOO HIGH. WHAT HAPPENED YOUR EFFORTS TO TRY TO CAPTURE SOME MORE OF THAT MINORITY VOTE? >> THAT HAS BEEN A PASSION POINT OF MINE SINCE I HAVE BEEN THE CHAIR. WE HAVE TO START INVESTING LONG-TERM IN COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE HABITUALLY BEEN DEMOCRATS AND SAY THAT DEMOCRATS TAKE YOUR VOTE FOR GRANTED. HERE WE ARE IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY STARTING A CONVERSATION IN BEING PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY AND INTERACTING. WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS HUGE GROWTH WITH THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN THE ASIAN COMMUNITY BECAUSE FINALLY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS SHOWING UP. WE ARE OPENING THESE OFFICES THIS YEAR AHEAD OF THE 2022 ELECTION. >> Dana: ARE YOU STARTING TO SEE RESULTS? >> ABSOLUTELY. NOT JUST WITH VOTERS, BUT WITH A DIVERSITY OF THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. LOOK AT THE FIRST TWO KOREAN-AMERICAN WOMEN TO SERVE IN CONGRESS. THEY ARE REPUBLICAN. PEOPLE COMING FROM MIAMI. THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAD TWO SPANISH ONLY SPEAKING OFFICES IN BROWARD COUNTY IN MIAMI. THIS IS A CORRELATION OF AN OUTREACH EFFORT FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT HAS BEEN LONG TERM AND SUSTAINED FOR FIVE YEARS NOW. >> Dana: DO YOU THINK THE DEMOCRATS ARE RAISING IS A LIMES BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM? >> THEY DO. YOU LOOK AT TEXAS JUST THIS PAST WEEK. McALLEN AND FORT WORTH. HISPANIC AREAS THAT WENT REPUBLICAN IN THEIR MAYOR RACES. WHAT WE ARE SEEING FROM IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AS THEY ARE SAYING WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND WE CAME HERE TO ACHIEVE THE AMERICAN DREAM. WE WORKED HARD AND WE DID IT. DID NOT TELL US THIS IS RACIST. IT IS THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH. THAT IS WHAT I HEAR ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS I SPEAK TO COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY BEEN REPUBLICAN BUT ARE NOW SHIFTING TO OUR PARTY. WE DIDN'T BRAND THE DEMOCRATS RADICALS. THEY DID NOT ALL IN THEMSELVES. >> Dana: IS A BORDER ISSUE AND IMMIGRATION IN PARTICULAR SOMETHING YOU ARE STARTING TO SEE CHANGE IN TEXAS AND ELSEWHERE? >> YES. IN 2020, THE CAMPAIGN SLEPT FOR REPUBLICANS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 1920s BECAUSE THEY WANT SUSTAINED IMMIGRATION POLICY. THEY ARE WATCHING KAMALA HARRIS AND JOE BIDEN TURNED THEIR BACK ON THE BORDER. THEY WANT TO SEE A POLICY PUT FORWARD IN A BIPARTISAN WAY AND ACTUALLY WORK TO SOLVE OUR CRISIS AT THE BORDER. THEY KNOW DRUGS ARE COMING ACROSS THE BORDER. THEY ALSO KNOW THIS IS NOT HUMANE. KIDS ARE BEING DROPPED OFF BY THEMSELVES AND FAMILIES ARE TAKING THIS TREACHEROUS JOURNEY UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE CARTELS. NOTHING THAT THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION IS DOING TO THESE FAMILIES IS HUMANE. >> Dan
