Val Hoyle claims Kamala Harris “was not a border czar”

July 30, 2024

Corrupt Val Hoyle doubled down on supporting open borders and defended Kamala Harris’ disastrous handling of the border crisis. In a new video, Hoyle bizarrely claimed that Kamala Harris “was not a border czar.” 

In case you missed it…

NOTE: “Val Hoyle’s deranged attempt to rewrite history proves she’s beholden to Border Czar Kamala Harris, but afraid of Oregonians holding her accountable for the border crisis,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen told Fox News Digital. “Hoyle’s delusional views endanger Oregon families with surging crime and fentanyl trafficking.”

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Val Hoyle, D-Ore., declined to answer a reporter’s question about the job Vice President Kamala Harris has done as “border czar,” instead claiming she was never the border czar and blaming former President Trump for the current state of the border.

“I’m asking about Kamala Harris, the vice president,” Hoyle was asked again.

Hoyle joined a growing list of House Democrats running for re-election in November who either declined to answer questions on Harris’ record on the border or joined the growing narrative that Harris was not actually the border czar, despite a variety of outlets referring to her with that title for several years.

Harris was tapped by Biden in 2021 to help tackle the border issue, which Democrats, along with the White House, are distancing themselves from since Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

“Val Hoyle’s deranged attempt to rewrite history proves she’s beholden to Border Czar Kamala Harris, but afraid of Oregonians holding her accountable for the border crisis,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen told Fox News Digital.
