Shark Tank’ investor Daymond John Praises Louis Farrakhan's speech

 

“Shark Tank” investor Daymond John is taking heat over a since-deleted tweet praising the remarks delivered by controversial religious leader Louis Farrakhan at DMX’s funeral on Sunday.

“What a powerful speech from Minister Louis Farrakhan for the #dmxfuneral,” John wrote on the social media site.

“His deep understanding of the Bible and respect for other people’s religions was truly inspiring. #RIPDMX,” the Brooklyn-born FUBU founder continued.

Commenters quickly called out John for his support of Farrakhan, pointing to his checkered past.

“Wait, what? He’s made dozens of anti-Semitic statements,” one user wrote.

Another Twitter commenter said: “Respect for other religions? He’s a vicious antisemite and seems proud of it.”

“This is absolutely sickening. Unreal,” said a third person.

Later Sunday, John deleted the post and sent out a follow-up statement in an attempt to clarify his comments. 

“In regards to my tweet regarding DMXs funeral, my comments on Minister Farrakhan were only related to what I just witnessed tonight, unbeknownst to his prior stances,” John wrote. 

“As someone who was fortunate enough to have a step dad of the Jewish faith, I do not condone and never would condone and anti Semitic, prejudice or any remarks of hatred,” he said.

In decades of public life, Farrakhan has attacked Jewish people as “satanic,” publicly questioned the Holocaust and condemned Judaism as a “dirty religion.”

On Sunday, Farrakhan spoke via video at DMX’s private funeral service, touching on the legendary rapper’s global influence.

“DMX is who he was and who he is, and the reason he has affected the people in the hip-hop genre and human beings across the globe is because he was genuine,” Farrakhan said.

Agudah "Tuchis-Lekkers" Invite Cryi'n Schumer as a Presenter at Agudah Webinar....They Talk Only about $$$$$$$

 

Am I missing something?

 I understand and appreciate that the frum Jewish community needs and requires huge amount of funds....

But I find this nauseating .... 

"Nearly 150 people participated in the call. From stimulus checks, to security grants, to money for yeshivas"

This Webinar should not have been publicised in the press ...

It’s no secret that as Senate Majority Leader and senior senator from New York, Charles Schumer is a man whose time is not easy to pin down. But, putting down his trademark “flip phone” for a while, Senator Schumer made himself available, between votes and phone calls from senators, to present at a webinar held by Agudath Israel’s Yeshiva Services department on the topic of the funds and resources made available to Americans, and particularly relevant to the Orthodox Jewish community by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

Nearly 150 people participated in the call. From stimulus checks, to security grants, to money for yeshivas, Senator Schumer explained the details of each of the programs, stressing how important it is that these programs be known and utilized. The Majority Leader also committed to continue working to ensure that federal and state guidelines make the funds as accessible as possible to yeshivas, shuls and other community charities.

Ms. Christina Coughlin, Assistant Commissioner of the New York State EducationDepartment, also joined the webinar to explain in detail what reimbursements and funds are available to nonpublic schools and yeshivas in New York State, and how the schools should proceed to get them. “We appreciate all the work that Assistant Commissioner Coughlin does for the yeshivos and other nonpublic schools on a regular basis and thank her for taking the time to address the schools and answer our questions,” said Rabbi Yehoshua Pinkus, director of Agudah’s Yeshiva Services.

Mr. Shlomo Werdiger, Chairman of Agudah’s Board of Trustees had warm words for the senator. “We thank Senator Schumer for taking time out of his busy schedule as Senate Majority Leader to join us and are extremely grateful to him for fighting for the interests of yeshivas and nonpublic schools, shuls and nonprofits.” Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, Agudah’s Executive Vice President, who chaired the session, added, “What Senator Schumer did in moving this legislation forward and securing $2.75 billion dollars for non public schools was absolutely unprecedented and he deserves a world of credit.”

New Shocking Details On The “Chareidi” Missionary Family In Jerusalem

 

New information has been revealed about the shocking case of an English-speaking Chareidi family who integrated into the English-speaking Chareidi community in French Hill as well as the broader religious community in Jerusalem, and was revealed on Sunday to be Christian missionaries, B’Chadrei Chareidim reported.

The father, Michael, even learned in the past in the Kollel of the Mekubal HaRav Banyahu Shmueli, but following the intervention of anti-missionary figures, he was kicked out of the Kollel.

Meanwhile, Michael was born to a Christian family from New Jersey. His father, William Thomas Elk, who died in 2006, was a member of the Friendship Mennonite Church in Carneys Point, New Jersey. In the past, he taught Christianity in Seattle and presided at Christian weddings.

Currently, Michael works at a gym in Jerusalem that is affiliated with a Christian organization and has reportedly tried to spread Christianity there.

Michael was already investigated by anti-missionary figures six years ago and even admitted to being a missionary but promised to halt all his activities. Since his identity has been known to some for years, including the Yad L’Achim organization and the anti-missionary Beyneynu organization, it’s hard to understand how the family ended up successfully integrating into the community in French Hill but that’s exactly what happened.

Michael presented himself as a Kohen, wrote Tefillin and mezuzos and his children were accepted to Chareidi schools. The story began unraveling only in the past month or two, following the untimely death of the mother from cancer. The community rallied to the family’s side and raised tens of thousands of dollars for them.

The Beyneynu organization said that they have been investigating the case for a long time and were about to reveal the story in the next several days but meanwhile one of the children slipped at school and the whole story blew up.

The 13-year-old daughter of the family [whose Bas Mitzvah was made with community assistance while the mother was fighting cancer], recently told her friend at school that “Jesus accepts everyone. Even if you made a mistake, he’ll accept you.” The shocked classmate told her parents and they immediately began investigating and contacting those who know the family.

Shannon Nuszen of Beyneynu, who specializes in tracking missionaries who disguise themselves as Jews, said that their case has been known for years. In 2014, they discovered the family trying to be “mekareiv” Jews to Jesus on social media networks. They confronted the father, Michael and he admitted that he’s a missionary but he promised to halt all of his missionary activities. The organization continued to track him but one day completely lost track of him. Meanwhile, he and his family had moved to French Hill and begun integrating into the community.

Nuszen said that the children were partners in everything. They knew they were Christians and they played the game well but last week, as mentioned above, one of the girls mentioned Jesus by mistake.

Nuszen explained that before publicizing the story, they were obligated to ensure that all the facts were 100% correct. “We can’t inculpate an entire family of being missionaries without scrutinizing every detail first  – it can cause damage to future generations. So we consulted with Rabbanim and askanim, we examined their roots, and we revealed the truth.”

She also said that “our information shows that there is no sign or proof that the family has Jewish roots. If Michael claims otherwise, he should prove it together with a permit from the Interior Ministry. We don’t have access to the computers of the Interior Ministry. They have no proof that they’re Jews while we have proof that they’re non-Jews.”

The mother, who was also proven to have no Jewish origins, passed away from cancer before Purim and was buried on Har HaMenuchos with a full Jewish funeral.

A statement from Beyneynu says that for more information, please contact Shannon Nuszen, Beyneynu- 058-405-3533 or shannon@beyneynu.com. Rav Avi Elbaz of French Hill is also involved in the case.

Arabs Beating the Hell Out of Jerusalem Chareidim Yet the "Eida Ha'Chreidis" Prohibits Followers From Joining Protest

 

I have to laugh at this news report, well not so much at the News report but at the naive dummies leading the Eida Ha'chreidis!

Arabs are going around beating the crap out of the Chassidishe and Yeshivishe oilim, on a nightly basis... and so caring Jews got together to organise a protest against these Arab savages .....

So you ask .."what could possibly be wrong with that?

Oh... plenty..because the ones who organised the protests are Dati-Leumi...so to them, if you don't wear a silver bekeshe and dirty shoes, you are not part of the Jewish nation.....they are also frightened that their naive children who are leaving these extreme communities by the thousands, would meet other Jews who are frum and see that you can live a Torah life without being part of their non-tolerance community.

Oh... yes .. they will give hashgachas on Dati-Leumi manufactured foods ... yes yes yes ... to take money from them is 100% ok, but to mingle and recognise that Dati/Leumi guys come from the same ancestors ... that no! 

And what is really hysterical is they put out a poster against the protests in Arabic (see above) 

So what's "pshat" in that?

You see ... these Eida Ha'chareidie dummies think that once the Arabs see that the Chareidim are not behind the protests, they will stop beating the crap out of them...and the Arab savages will instead concentrate on beating up other Jews!........

The Eidie Ha'Chareidis learned from Mengele the idea of "selection"

This childish mentality comes from accursed Neturei Karta who believe that if they could only convince the Iranian mullas that they are also against the State of Israel and that they back the Jewish murderers of Iran who vow to wipe the State off the map...then when Iran drops an atomic bomb, chas ve'sholom, they will make sure to avoid Meah Shearim ..

These foolish dopes think that the Arabs only want the settlements, that they don't want Bnei Brak, and Meah Shearim ..

Chassidishe  and Litvishe Leaders pre-WW2 also thought, that if only Jews in the US would stop protesting Hitler ym"s and stop boycotting German products... then Hitler, Mengele and Eichmann would stop killing Jews!

We never learn! 

The Eidah HaChareidis published a letter on Friday against the nationalistic protests organized by Lehava, a Dati Leumi anti-assimilation organization, warning their followers not to join the protests under any circumstances.

On Motzei Shabbos, the Eidah, in an effort to calm the flaming tensions in the city, published the letter in Arabic to clarify that the protests were not “Chareidi.”

"With a trembling heart, we express our opposition and condemn the nationalists who tried to drag the Chareidi community into their protests and calls for revenge against Arab residents of Jerusalem,” the letter stated.

“By bringing their protests into Chareidi neighborhoods, they are putting the community at terrible risk. Who knows what can chalilah happen due to their irresponsible actions.”

“Oy to us from the Chillul Hashem if these provocations are thought to be connected to Yiryei Hashem and Shomrei Torah U’Mitzvos.”

“We call with all our heart for the calming of tensions and the quietening of the battle, of which the results cannot be imagined.  And we declare and say that Chareidi Jewry has no connection to these protests and riots. The Jews who are faithful to the Torah believe that we were exiled from our land through the gezeirah of Hashem and distanced from our land.”

“And we call to yeshivah bochurim, to the parents of talmidim, and those in chinuch: Please ensure that no bochur or child be found at these protests. Guard yourselves in ruchniyus and gashmiyus from the negative influence of nationalists who are not seeking your benefit…they are partners to the uprooting of das and the tearing of the Torah into pieces.”

Biden is Done with Russia, China, Gives Up On Bringing the US Together So He signs law that makes sesame the ninth major food allergen

President Biden on Friday signed into law a new measure that designates sesame as the ninth major food allergy and ramps up allergy research, enacting a bipartisan attempt to address marked growth in certain deadly allergies.

The Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (Faster) Act passed the Senate in March and the House of Representatives this month. It received bipartisan support.

In the past two decades, life-threatening childhood food allergies have risen steadily, growing by about 4 percent per year to afflict 32 million Americans, according to research by Northwestern University, McKinsey & Company, and Food Allergy Research and Education, a nonprofit. Studies estimate that the costs borne by American families — for medical bills, buying special foods or forgoing full-time employment to care for a child with a food allergy — total $24.8 billion annually.

There are several strong theories to explain the uptick, says Jonathan Spergel, chief of the allergies department at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, but one stands out: In 2000, a small study suggested that if parents delayed the introduction of potentially allergenic foods, kids were less likely to develop those allergies.

“Charedei” Family of French Hill Jerusalem, Exposed as Christian Missionaries

 A family living in French Hill for many years has now been exposed as Missionaries. The children were all in the classic Yeshivas and Beis Yaakovs. The father did Safrus for many years for surrounding neighborhoods, and was the local “Kohein” performing many mitzvos of Pidyon Haben. The goal was to bring Christian concepts and beliefs to “friends” and ultimately create doubt in their Religious upbringings.

The wife had become deathly ill and ultimately passed away, which led the community to raise over $30,000. Local organizations had known what was going on for years in an attempt to monitor the situation and be sure he didn’t go to another community.

Once news got out, the father began deleting messages and blurring images from his Gentile Facebook account. It has since also become clear the non-Jewish Christian family had arrived to Israel with forged documentation.

סיפור מטורף. האיש הזה מסתובב בינינו בשכונת הגבעה הצרפתית. ילדיו לומדים במוסדות חרדים, מציג את עצמו כסופר סת"ם, כתב ספרי תורה ומזוזות ואף הזדהה ככהן ופדה ילדים. אשתו מתה לא מזמן מסרטן, הקהילה פתחה מגבית עבורו. לאחר תחקיר מעמיק של מספר עסקנים התברר: האיש ומשפחתו אינם יהודיים pic.twitter.com/wHG06LCYP4

New "Rent Control" Bill Being Sneeked Through Assembly & State Will Destroy New York Housing Market

 Not content with jacking up taxes massively and dangerously mushrooming the state budget, legislators are now looking to inflict yet more pain, by sneaking through a “universal rent control” bill that would clobber the housing market.

This, even though rents in New York City have plunged to decade-long lows.

The legislation, now in committee in both the Assembly and the Senate, is misleadingly labeled “Good Cause Eviction,” when it would essentially force landlords statewide to accept tenants for life — with a cap on yearly rent increases.

That’s right: No building owner could ever evict a tenant or deny him or her a lease renewal, except under narrow circumstances. If landlords tried to raise rent beyond 3 percent, or 150 percent of the region’s Consumer Price Index, that would — by law — be a legitimate reason for a tenant to not pay and still skirt eviction.

The new law would apply to every apartment in the state, thereby instantly subjecting nearly 2 million existing units in the city alone, and any new ones, to rent control — including those rented by the wealthy. And all on top of a raft of harsh measures lawmakers took in 2019 that made it tougher for landlords to make ends meet.

Sure, the bill might sound good for tenants, but there’s no rescinding the laws of economics: It’s too much demand for housing and too little supply that drives up rent, not a lack of regulation. 

Plus, as studies show, rent-control policies only further fuel demand and decrease supply. Parents hang on to large apartments, and keep them off the market, long after the kids are gone — because rent regulation makes their monthly rent too (artificially) low to give up. The prospect of getting a rent-controlled apartment also winds up attracting more people to the market, fueling demand.

Meanwhile, though, landlords can’t recoup costs. They wind up skipping on optional repairs and upgrades and converting rental buildings to co-ops or condos. And you can forget about investors putting up new buildings. Why should they, if they’re only going to lose money?

Contractors and other businesses that depend on work from owners also suffer and the jobs they provide dry up.

“History has shown that strict rent controls lead to less housing, higher rents and more homelessness,” notes landlord rep Jay Martin.

“Whatever housing is left after ‘Good Cause Eviction,’ a k a universal rent control, will be poor quality,” and the result will be “an economic calamity” that’s “worse than the pandemic,” warns Rent Stabilization Association head Joseph Strasburg.

Too bad New York lawmakers don’t care about consequences.

Will the REAL joe Biden Stand Up? Old Joe Biden vs. New Joe Biden

 

Writer Salena Zito best described the Rorschach testthat Donald Trump represented. As she put it in 2016, “The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.” 

Now comes another presidential dilemma: What to make of the new and radical Joe Biden? 

On the surface, it seems an odd question about a 78-year-old man who has spent nearly 50 years in Washington. But the new Biden, the President Biden, doesn’t sound and act like the former senator and vice president. 

In fact, this Biden is so dramatically different that it’s not clear if we should take him either seriously or literally. 

Who the hell is this guy?

NYC Councilman Chaim Deutsch pleads guilty in federal tax fraud case

 

New York City Councilman Chaim Deutsch admitted Thursday that he defrauded the government of tens of thousands of dollars in taxes by concealing “his true business income,” federal officials said.

Deutsch was charged and pleaded guilty Thursday morning in Manhattan federal court to tax fraud for failing to report business income connected to his real estate company, Chasa Management, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. 

The Manhattan feds say the 52-year-old councilman evaded paying $82,076 in property taxes between 2013 and 2015. 

“As an elected official and community leader, Deutsch had a particular responsibility to follow the law,” said US Attorney Audrey Straus. “Instead, over a multi-year period, Deutsch concealed his true business income to avoid paying his fair share of taxes.”

The probe was a joint investigation of the city Department of Investigation, the IRS and Manhattan federal prosecutors. 

“It is dispiriting when a sitting City Council member is convicted of a crime,” DOI Commissioner Margaret Garnett said.

Council Speaker Corey Johnson called on Deutsch to resign saying he “betrayed that public trust by committing tax fraud.”

“Our constituents rightly expect the people they vote for to uphold the law. Deutsch failed them,” Johnson said. “To protect the integrity of the City Council and his Brooklyn seat, he must resign. He can no longer serve his constituents in good faith.”

Council spokeswoman Jennifer Fermino said the guilty plea was “incredibly troubling news.”

“As a result, we are looking at removing Council Member Deutsch from all his committees, including his position as Chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee, as well as his role dispersing discretionary funding,” she said.

The councilman is not required to give up his seat with the guilty plea, according to council sources. 

Deutsch, who was elected in 2014, has no plans to resign despite the conviction, his attorney said in a statement.

“Today, my client pled guilty to a one-count misdemeanor tax office of making a false statement on a tax return,” attorney Henry Mazurek said. “He accepts responsibility for his actions and intends to fully repay the $82,000 in taxes he owes.

“Mr. Deutsch’s dedication to public service will not be diminished, and he looks forward to completing his elected term.”

His current term expires at the end of the year.

The councilman faces up to one year in prison and a year of supervised release, as well as up to $100,000 in fines and restitution. 

He is due back for sentencing on July 29.

New photos show Epstein and Maxwell were VIP guests in Clinton’s White House

 

Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were once White House guests of former President Bill Clinton, new pictures prove.

The images were published by The Sun, days after Maxwell’s last court appearance on sex trafficking charges in Manhattan, related to her alleged procurement of underage rape victims for the convicted pedophile.

The disgusting duo were invited to the White House in 1993, after Epstein reportedly donated money to have the Oval Office refurbished.

They toured the East Room and the presidential residence during a reception, the paper reported.

The pictures expand the timeline of Clinton’s involvement with Epstein and Maxwell.

Prior to their surfacing, some of the oldest photos linking the trio were from 2002, Clinton was photographed aboard Epstein’s private jet along with Maxwell and one of the late billionaires’ rape accusers.

The former president also reportedly had a private dinner with Maxwell in 2014 — long after Epstein was convicted of child sex abuse.

Clinton has denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island in the Bahamas, but accuser Virginia Giuffre has claimed to be on the island at the same time as the ex-president.

A book released last year claims that Clinton had an affair with Maxwell.

Clinton has maintained he was unaware of any sexual misconduct in his dealings with the wealthy financier. Epstein has also socialized with Prince Andrew — who Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with.

Epstein, facing a slew of sex charges, was found fatally hanged in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.

The Florida mansion where he allegedly raped hundreds of girls and women was demolished last week.

The story of the police unit that protected Eichmann

 

Adolf Eichmann led from his jail cell to the court, 1961

Throughout the period, the police documented Eichmann, and in the photos taken, the archvillain is seen cleaning the toilets in his cell, hanging laundry, brushing his teeth, being examined by a doctor or sitting on the iron bed in the cell, wearing slippers.

The documentation also appears in a new book slated to be released in a few weeks. Operation Iyar – The Activities of the Israel Police in the Eichmann Affair is, in fact, a second in-depth study by the police, after the first study into the work of Bureau 06, was published last year.

Both studies were written by Inspector Yossi Hemi, a historian and head of the Israel Police Heritage Center. For many months, Hemi searched the police archives and state archives and retrieved documents, correspondences, drawings and photographs documenting the behind-the-scenes of the trial, including the tight security arrangements, along with Eichmann's daily routine and interaction with his investigators.

"The current study presents the story of the Israel Police in the Eichmann case in all its aspects," says Hemi. "From the Iyar Unit, to carrying out the sentencing, together with the Prison Service. The role of the police went far beyond its area of responsibility, but few people know and appreciate what it did. I hope the two studies will reveal one of the most significant stories in the country's history and the history of the police in particular."

On May 23, 1960, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion took to the Knesset podium in one of the most historic speeches in Israel. He announced that Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Final Solution – the Nazi plan for the Jewish genocide –  had been captured in Argentina and brought to Israel two days earlier in a Mossad operation. Upon landing in Israel, Eichmann was taken into custody at the Israel Security Agency base in Jaffa. Ben-Gurion then tasked the Israel Police with his interrogation and security.

One of the first decisions of the then-Police Commissioner Yosef Nachmias was to turn the Jalama camp near Haifa (now the Kishon Prison) into a detention center intended for Eichmann alone. The place was named "Iyar Base", after the Hebrew month in which he was captured, and Commander Shaul Rosolio (later Israel's fifth police commissioner) was appointed commander of the base. He had only 48 hours to prepare for the transfer of Eichmann from the GSS, on May 26.

Happy Earth Day !

 

This guy pictured above, Ira Einhorn, was the founder of Earth Day, and an environmental activist. 

In between his important work for the environment, he found time to kill his girlfriend and mummify her body. He was an advocate of  flower power, peace and free love.

Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the “composted” body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk.

A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and ’70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia’s head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn — who nicknamed himself “Unicorn” because his German-Jewish last name translates to “one horn”  —advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow students at the University of Pennsylvania. He also claimed to have helped found Earth Day.

But the charismatic spokesman who helped bring awareness to environmental issues and preached against the Vietnam War — and any violence — had a secret dark side. When his girlfriend of five years, Helen “Holly” Maddux, moved to New York and broke up with him, Einhorn threatened that he would throw her left-behind personal belongings onto the street if she didn’t come back to pick them up.

And so on Sept. 9, 1977, Maddux went back to the apartment that she and Einhorn had shared in Philadelphia to collect her things, and was never seen again. When Philadelphia police questioned Einhorn about her mysterious disappearance several weeks later, he claimed that she had gone out to the neighborhood co-op to buy some tofu and sprouts and never returned.

It wasn’t until 18 months later that investigators searched Einhorn’s apartment after one of his neighbors complained that a reddish-brown, foul-smelling liquid was leaking from the ceiling directly below Einhorn’s bedroom closet. Inside the closet, police found Maddux’s beaten and partially mummified body stuffed into a trunk that had also been packed with Styrofoam, air fresheners and newspapers.

After his arrest, Einhorn jumped bail and spent decades evading authorities by hiding out in Ireland, Sweden, the United Kingdom and France. After 23 years, he was finally extradited to the United States from France and put on trial. Taking the stand in his own defense, Einhorn claimed that his ex-girlfriend had been killed by CIA agents who framed him for the crime because he knew too much about the agency’s paranormal military research. 

He was convicted of murdering Maddux and is currently serving a life sentence.

Although Einhorn was only the master of ceremonies at the first Earth Day event, he maintains that Earth Day was his idea and that he’s responsible for launching it. Understandably, Earth Day’s organizers have distanced themselves from his name, citing Gaylord Nelson, an environmental activist and former Wisconsin governor and U.S. senator who died in 2005, as Earth Day’s official founder and organizer.

Camal'a Harris Finally greets migrant children ... But Only in a Book..... Veep herself nowhere to be found

 

Vice President Kamala Harris has yet to visit the border amid the burgeoning crisis there.  But her children’s book will be given to unaccompanied minors as they are housed in shelters after illegally crossing the U.S. border.

Illegal immigrant children who are being staged in a new shelter located in Long Beach, CA will reportedly receive a copy of Harris’ 2019 children’s book, “Superheroes are Everywhere” in their welcome packages. The PR move is ostensibly meant to normalize the situation and paint the Biden administration as caring for these unaccompanied minors. Thousands of children are still being packed into facilities for prolonged periods of time.

“Whenever there’s trouble, superheroes show up just in time,” Harris says in her book.

In March, border czar Roberta Jacobson admitted that the administration’s messaging to illegal immigrants has been inconsistent and has contributed to the surge across the border.

Harris visited a bookstore in New Hampshire on Friday and gave a speech on workforce training initiatives. 

She refused to take any questions from the press while she was there. Harris reportedly did not addressthe border crisis.

It has been more than 30 days since Harris was tapped by President Biden to lead the response concerning the crisis but she has yet to visit the border or even hold a press conference on the issue. The administration now claims that she will address the “root causes” that are causing illegal immigrants and unaccompanied minors to come into the country, but not the actual surge itself.
