Dem Sen. Kelly: Harris Only Had ‘Half a Second to Think’ When She Supported Decriminalizing Crossing Border

Ian Hanchett 3 Sep 2024

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said that when 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris supported decriminalizing crossing the border illegally when she was running for president the last time, she only had “like a half a second to think about it.”

Host Jake Tapper asked, “

• ne of the issues that I’m wondering about is, like, in 2019, she endorsed, she raised her hand during a debate when the Democratic candidates for president were asked, do you support decriminalizing illegal border crossings? She did raise her hand. I understand her position now is more to the center or more, even, conservative. Does she need to explain it?”

Kelly responded, “Well, I think she has explained it. You’re talking about a primary in 2019? Where somebody asked, throw your hand up?”

After Tapper answered that he was referring to 2019 and a moment where people were asked to raise their hands, Kelly continued, “And you’ve got like a half a second to think about it. Today, what really matters is who is standing with the Border Patrol agents, and that’s Kamala Harris. Who has killed probably the most — the best opportunity we had to do bipartisan legislation — this is the way this should be done, and the person who killed it was Donald Trump.”

A person who is incapable of understanding right or wrong, or in her case, amoral, will "have to think about it" and determine if it's politically expedient.

One who has morals, has no such problem.

You could give Kommiela a couple of days to "think," and she still couldn't come up with an answer.
