  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You seem to have a lot of faith in the MSM’s reporting in 2021. You never struck me as the type to accept what they say as gospel. Why are you so sure they were right when they labeled Harris as “the border czar”?
It's a matter of MSM changing the narrative to accommodate the shift from Biden to Harris. It's basically the same as the narrative being changed overnight from Biden is perfectly fit to serve another four years to Biden isn't fit and needs to step down.

Also:

"When Harris became Biden’s “border czar,” as critics called her, the administration was under pressure from both sides to address the rising number of migrants — particularly unaccompanied children — crossing the border and landing in poor conditions in U.S. custody. On March 24, 2021, Biden took the stage at the White House and seemed to hand the keys on the issue over to his vice president."

From the link:

Harris was tasked early on in the Biden administration with addressing the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America.
What exactly is going on here? You are denying what she was being asked to do yet you link to and quote from an article that actually says what you are denying.

How on earth can you say one thing and then post something that contradicts your own claim? This is Alice In Wonderland stuff. It really is.

Seems like someone has picked out their truth and decided to only accept info that confirms it.

I get the optics.

Because they did
Because they did what? "Because they did" isn't even an answer to the question I asked. What makes you think they were correct then and not now?

What was she referred to as by whom? Did anybody in the administration dub her the border czar? Or was that moniker bestowed upon her by some combination of the press and Republicans?

President Biden has tapped Vice President Harris to lead the administration’s efforts to stem the flow of migrants seeking entry to the U.S. at the southern border and to form partnerships with Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries aimed at addressing the root causes of the surge in immigration.

Harris will spearhead the White House’s immigration portfolio so that Mexico and the Northern Triangle will know “there is one single figure dedicated to this effort,” a senior administration official said.


She was leading and she failed.

However, their claims are, at best, puzzling, considering that some of those same publications referred to Harris as the "border czar" or something similar in reporting that dates back to early 2021.

Axios drew particular criticism over a piece that seemed to contradict its own previous reporting, and it even updated its own story Wednesday by saying it "incorrectly" called her a border czar in the past.

Biden taps VP Harris to lead response to border challenges," a headline from The Associated Press read.

In April 2021, The New York Times implied that Harris was taking over from Roberta Jacobson, who was widely known as the "border czar."

While "czar" is not an official title, the term has long been used as shorthand for someone overseeing a particular issue, policy, or department.

The moniker isn't important. What is important is that while media organizations were all too happy to call Harris the "border czar" 3 years ago, for some reason, they'd prefer to deal in historical revisionism and pretend like the moniker is now a "right-wing attack".

The distancing of Harris from the border and the sudden, "Hang on, that's not what we meant" from 3 years ago is dishonest. The only reason the media is trying to distance Harris from the moniker is because they know the border is an important issue for voters and most are pretty dissatisfied with Harris' handling of the situation. If Harris wasn't the presumptive Democratic nominee, no one would care.

You again point to exactly what she was slated to do. That she had no direct involvement with the border itself. Only the root causes of immigration. Thus pulling your own rug out from under your own feet.

This just gets weirder.

Did you post that? I wasn't replying to it, why think I'd followed links in a post I wasn't replying to?
Yes I did, you can tell by the posters name on the left.

See, the topic of the thread is found in the very first post. So if you want to address the topic, it is always good to know what it is first.


Hope that helped

I know how to use the board. I just don't bother often with posts that require following a link to get anything out of them. (There are 3-5 of you who create all of these threads anyway. How to keep you ID'd separately from the rest. You all look the same to me.) I'd have skipped the whole thread for that reason, but you posted that screen capture.

Oh, ok. Thanks. To be honest you would probably be better off skipping the thread.
