After twice being pressed to do so in a Wednesday interview, Vice President Kamala Harris only sort of apologized to the families of victims killed by illegal immigrants let into the U.S. by the Biden-Harris administration — and immediately followed the apology with “but…” before launching into tired talking points about Donald Trump.
The moment came during the Democrat nominee’s “Special Report” interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. After naming U.S. citizens who were allegedly “brutally assaulted and killed” by illegal aliens released by the administration into American communities, the network host asked Harris if she owes the families of these Americans “an apology.”
Baier specifically cited remarks issued by Bill Clinton earlier this week, in which the former president admitted that Laken Riley, a 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student allegedly murdered by an illegal alien earlier this year, would still be alive had Biden-Harris properly vetted foreign nationals entering America.
While acknowledging there’s “no question” those deaths are “tragic cases,” Harris initially declined to issue an apology to the aforementioned families. Instead, she deflected by hyping a congressional bill introduced earlier this year that would have enshrined the ongoing border invasion into law.
“I can’t imagine the pain that the families of those victims have experienced for losses [that] should not have occurred,” Harris said. “So, that is true. It is also true that if a border security [bill] had actually been passed nine months ago … that [would have ensured] that no future harm would occur.”
