Lara Logan, the former chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, took issue with her old network for misrepresenting Republican Sen. J.D. Vance’s claim that Vice President Kamala Harris held the title of “border czar” in the Biden administration.
CBS News rated the claim as “false,” asserting that Harris had been assigned to address the root causes of migration rather than managing the border directly.
“President Biden tasked Harris with leading the administration’s diplomatic campaign to address the ‘root causes’ of migration from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, including poverty, corruption and violence,” the outlet stated.
“In fact, on March 24, 2021, Biden officially assigned Harris to ‘lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle … in stemming the movement of … migration to our southern border.’”
Logan argued that CBS News’s denial contradicted its own previous reporting and questioned the network’s integrity. She suggested that CBS is attempting to cover up Harris’s failures on border issues.
“Hard to believe CBS could have fallen so low. I spent 16 years there, I was the Chief Foreign Correspondent, the Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent & a full-time correspondent for 60 Minutes, the flagship news program for the network. I cannot believe they can try to get away with this BS when we all remember Harris being appointed & a simple online search can verify that,” Logan wrote.
“So you have to ask why? Why would they lie & cover up for Harris? The answer is obvious – she is exposed on the border because it is a complete disaster & most Americans, including Democrats are mad as hell.”
“The globalist open borders policy currently being shoved down our throats on her watch is inhumane, unjust & rejected by all except the globalist elite & morons like those at CBS responsible for this ridiculous propaganda,” Logan added.
She also noted that under the Biden-Harris administration, illegal border crossings have reached more than 8.5 million.
