Bill Clinton’s remarks at a Harris-Walz campaign event on Sunday inadvertently shined a glaring spotlight on one of the most glaring weaknesses of Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy: her abysmal track record as Joe Biden’s so-called “Border Czar.”

While trying to rally support in Fort Valley, Georgia, Clinton may have delivered what could be the Trump campaign’s most potent ad this election cycle—by calling out the administration’s failure to properly vet migrants at the border.

Clinton, decked out in a Harris-Walz camo hat, recounted the tragic story of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered by an illegal immigrant. In an astonishing moment of candor, Clinton admitted that “if they had all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”

This off-script confession highlights the disaster of the open-border policies that have defined Harris’s tenure as Biden’s point person on immigration. The man who once stood as the leader of the Democratic Party essentially told voters that Harris’s incompetence has directly endangered American lives.

Bill Clinton says Laken Riley’s death “probably wouldn’t have happened” if Kamala did her job at the border, continues on to imply that we need illegal immigrants for cheap labor.

What makes this even worse for Harris is that Clinton’s remarks align with one of the most potent critiques from the Republican side: the Biden-Harris administration’s complete failure to control the border, leading to dangerous criminals slipping into the country.

Clinton tried to pivot, suggesting that immigrants are essential for jobs Americans won’t do and to keep birth rates high—a weak attempt to reframe the conversation. But the damage was already done. Whether intentional or a slip of the tongue, Clinton’s remarks reveal what many Americans already know: the border crisis is not being handled, and it’s Harris’s failure to fix it.

This isn’t the first time Harris has been left hanging by her own party. Just weeks ago, Biden himself heaped praise on Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for his hurricane preparation efforts, all while Harris was publicly trying to pick a petty fight with him over his refusal to take her phone call. Instead of managing real crises, Harris seems more interested in engaging in political spats while real problems continue to spiral out of control.

Let’s be clear: Clinton’s admission is an indictment of Harris’s entire candidacy. As vice president, she was handed the responsibility of fixing the border crisis—an issue that directly affects millions of Americans—and she’s failed at every turn. This isn’t just about one tragic murder in Georgia. It’s about the administration’s refusal to enforce basic immigration laws, leading to countless crimes and a deep sense of insecurity among Americans.
