California Senator Kamala Harris became wildly condescending and ramped up the racial rhetoric during a confirmation of ICE nominee Ronald Vitiello.
Vitiello was subjected to Harris’ shameless grandstanding on Thursday as he seeks to become the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Harris was grilling Vitiello on past comments he made in response to conservative radio host Mark Levin’s take on the Democrat Party’s historic role in segregation. But she didn’t stop until she compared ICE to the Ku Klux Klan.
Harris made a pathetic attempt to deny what she was clearly implying but Vitiello called her out on it.
“That puts ICE in the same category as the KKK. Is that what you’re asking me?” Vitiello said.
“No, I’m very specific in what I’m asking you. Are you aware of a perception that they way that they …” Harris replied.
“I see none,” Vitiello said.
Harris was sumarrily excoriated on Twitter for her remarks:
Democrat Senator Kamala Harris compares ICE to the KKK and appears to suggest that they are a terrorist group during a Senate hearing to consider the nomination of Ronald Vitello to be the director of ICE.

Kamala Harris is trying to launch her 2020 campaign off of comparing ICE officers to the KKK, and it’s absolutely disgusting. pic.twitter.com/l6DrpbbQ2k

This is appalling. 2020 hopeful Kamala Harris just compared ICE to the KKK!
What utter, complete & horrifying disrespect for our law enforcement officers. I get she’s auditioning for 2020, but come on… https://t.co/JbHmG55cX1

Never thought about it before, but you are completely right!!! Hold on it’s going to get crazy

Can it get any worse?
The correct answer @KamalaHarris is the KKK was started by the Democrats to suppress legal black voters. ICE was formed to suppress illegal immigrants from being in our country and voting for Democrats.#ThursdayThoughts

Her questions are always manipulative, worded so she can then squeeze her subject into a corner. Harris is NEVER after the truth.

As BPR reported earlier, those mean border patrol agents have been busy erecting razor wire and chasing migrants back into Mexico after being jeered at from the top of a border fence. And, it’s just the beginning.
