Fox News host Tucker Carlson took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris for her awkward response to an interview question about when she planned to visit the southern border.
“At some point, you know, we are going to the border. We’ve been to the border. So this whole thing about the border. We’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border,” Harris responded to NBC’s Lester Holt when asked if she “had any plans to visit the border.”
“You haven’t been to the border,” Holt responded.
“And I haven’t been to Europe,” Harris fired back while laughing. “And I mean, I don’t understand the point that you’re making.”
KAMALA HARRIS IS IN WAY OVER HER HEAD, AND EVERYONE CAN SEE IT
“Of course, she doesn’t understand the point. No one ever asks her real questions. When was the last time that happened,” Carlson said of the vice president’s response, arguing that despite the lack of substance, “Harris has continued to ascend.”
“How did she do that? Purely on the basis of how she looks,” Carlson continued. “Meanwhile, because it is so improbable that someone this unimpressive has become so powerful, the people in charge are forced to assure us, almost with hysteria, that she is brilliant and impressive. In order to prepare the rest of us for the inevitable march to the White House, they’ve created a Soviet-level cult of personality around her.”
Carlson then went on to point to the fawning media coverage Harris has received, specifically addressing the Los Angeles Times’s section dedicated to covering the vice president.
“Not surprisingly, the first dispatch from the LA Times’s new Kamala Harris bureau didn’t focus on her policy accomplishments,” Carlson said. “That would have been a pretty thin section. Instead, the paper covers the way she looks. ‘Kamala Harris is all kinds of firsts: the first woman, woman of color, Black woman, mixed-race woman and South Asian elected to national office.’”
“So, in other words, what really matters about Kamala Harris, and what should matter to you, according to the LA Times, is her DNA,” Carlson continued. “Disney went further than that. Kamala Harris, the company explained to your kids recently, isn’t actually a political leader. She’s more than that. She’s like a god.”
Carlson then rolled a Disney clip in which the narrator says Harris “became part of a divine group of leaders. She rose to places that no woman had. From front-lawn activist to Madam Vice President. She will use her voice to run this nation and inspire it, too. Kamala Harris: making HERstory.”
“Next time you see someone walking across the top of your swimming pool, it’s probably Kamala Harris,” Carlson quipped. “She became part of a ‘divine’ group of leaders. Divine in the literal sense, like the Dali Lama or Kim Jong Un. She shot an 18 in her last round of golf.”
“Kamala Harris is a star, a major historical figure, indeed she’s god,” Carlson continued. “And if you say that enough, you tend to believe it. That’s where our media find themselves. They believe it unquestioningly. So, as she headed to Latin America this weekend, they had the highest possible hopes.”
The host rolled clips of multiple media outlets expressing optimism about the vice president’s trip to Guatemala, with most of the coverage focusing on how she is the first “female” and “person of color” to make such a trip as vice president.
“The nub of the theme here is that she is a ‘person of color.’ So when a person of color goes to Latin America to be around other ‘people of color,’ it’s a love match. They’re going to love Kamala Harris in Latin America. It’s obvious. That’s how our credential class thinks. People of color love people of color,” Carlson said.
“Unfortunately for Harris, that is not how Latin Americans think,” Carlson continued. “People in Latin America are still allowed, to their great credit, to say obvious things. They haven’t been trained by their leaders to censor their unapproved thoughts. So sometimes, they just go ahead and utter them, as Kamala Harris found out yesterday when she arrived in Guatemala.”
Carlson then noted that Harris was greeted by several protesters when she arrived in the country, with some of the protesters holding signs that read, “Kamala, Go Home” and “Kamala, Trump won.”
“To a certain sort of liberal, this was shocking, and some in the press pool seemed shocked by it,” Carlson said.
“That doesn’t shock people who have been paying attention,” Carlson continued. “Who does your average Guatemalan have more in common with? Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? Come on. It’s not even close. Among other things, Latin America, to this day, is still a vigorous patriarchy. It turns out gender-bending, academic, postmodern feminism doesn’t make sense there. It’s totally confusing to your average campesino. They think it’s absurd, which, of course, it is. In Guatemala, it’s pretty hard to sell Kamala Harris as a god.”
The host concluded the monologue by blasting the Biden administration for being out of touch, arguing that if it wanted to send Harris somewhere that she would be viewed positively, it should send her to “London or some other population center where the people hate themselves and their own culture.”

“That won’t work in Central America,” Carlson said. “The White House should have known that. The State Department, too. Isn’t this their job? But they didn’t know it. Because it turns out, in addition to being hardened ideologues, the Biden people are incompetent.”
