Axios tries to erase 'border czar' from Kamala's resume, but it used title for her

As Vice President Kamala Harris emerges as the likely Democratic nominee, left-wing media outlets such as Axios are rushing to erase the title of "border czar" from her resume, despite their own use of the title.

A Wednesday Axios article attempted to claim that Harris "never actually had" the title of "border czar" and that the moniker had gained traction with her conservative detractors. Instead, the outlet emphasized Harris had been appointed to handle the administration's coordination with Latin American nations on the issue.

An admission, this is, that the situation on the border is very bad.

Uh, ok. So they are saying she wasn’t the border czar (my note: then who was?), she was actually the Southern Border Coordinator.

Axios is a far-left, commie lib POS. They’d probably love an America being ruled by an non-natural born refugee whose ancestors were slave owners.

They can spin it all they want but the headlines from this NBC article in 2021 sure makes it clear she is charged with stemming migration.

As I've written before for people who do not know the origins of Axios and Politico:

Politico was founded in 2007 by two Washington Post employees:

Together with former banker and then-CEO of Albritton Communications Robert Albritton (who owned several ABC-affiliated television stations in Washington, D.C.), they founded Politico as a internet-based immediate news outlet, with Harris as the Editor-in-Chief and VendeHei as the Executive Editor. Politico initially positioned itself as a neutral news source but quickly reverted to its Washington Post roots by hiring Michael Kinsley and Joe Scarborough as opinion writers. They eventually hired Susan Glasser from The New Yorker to be their opinion editor.

At some point Politico hired Mike Allen, who was a journalist for The New York Times and Time Magazine. Allen was hired to write a daily email newsletter for Politico.

In 2016, VandenHei and Allen left Politico to start Axios. Axios was established to be a digital short-form news source that focused on industry-specific stories. I think of it as a USA Today for Politico.

So, you can see that Politico is simply a front for the writers of The Washington Post, The New York Times, New Yorker, Time, MSNBC, Los Angeles Times, Slate, etc. Axios publishes a story or poll, then Politico writes a full piece on it, then the NYT and WaPo report that Politico and Axios said so and such... and then the rest of the LAAP-dog media report the NYT story. That's how the left gets its message into the mainstream subconscious.

This is the Democrat implementation of what the Clinton White House described as the "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce" in a secret 1995 memo to describe the rise of the alternative right-wing media, or what Hillary Clinton called it, "the vast right-wing conspiracy." The full memo is here.

It's obvious that the plan to rehabilitate Harris is beginning with these stories being planted in Axios.

If they take away everything Kamala failed about she will have a blank resume except for “defunding police” and “keeping criminals on the streets and out of prison.”

IIRC, the Biden Administration held a conference, but specifically excluded the nations with the ‘root causes’.

The thing about a border is that it borders something. Not only is the border their own border, the something that it borders is also a border.

You have to be really smart to understand how this works. That’s why I became an African.

There are more borders in Africa than there are anywhere else unless you count their borders with Africo.
