In interviews on Friday, Morgan said Harris\u2019s visit was driven by optics and argued she failed to visit an area of the border where the crisis has been at its worst.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of El Paso, Morgan said she should have gone to the epicenter of the crisis in the Rio Grande Valley if she truly wanted a meaningful understanding of what has been going on. Morgan added the move was to turn anger over the border off of Joe Biden and onto Harris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this was done by intention, by the President to really distance himself,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf you look, as soon as Vice President Harris was named czar, her staff tried to distance herself from the southwest border crisis to say she was just there to develop root causes.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A message for VP Kamala Harris. . . <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9ZdIzyAbZw\">pic.twitter.com\/9ZdIzyAbZw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kari Lake (@KariLake) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KariLake\/status\/1408789419172057090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After being appointed as the nation\u2019s border czar, Harris repeatedly ignored calls from lawmakers to make a trip to witness the issue first-hand. For this reason, she has also been accused of only making her appearance in El Paso due to President Trump\u2019s recently announced plans to visit the southern border with Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas).<\/p>\n<p>Morgan said Harris will ultimately refuse to take responsibility for the crisis or take a single action to address it. A recent Harvard-Harris poll found two-thirds of voters say border crossers should be returned to Mexico in a return to a Trump-era policy dismantled by Biden.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/search-rescue-efforts-continue-after-partial-collapse-of-condo-building-in-fla\/\">2018 Engineering Report Warned Of Structural Damage In Collapsed Fla.
