Not only is this a terrible strategy, but it's just flat-out wrong.
Why on earth would you not call out the work that Kamala Harris spent 3 years on, partnering with Mexican and Central American countries, as well as Colombia, to help address the issues with asylum seekers?

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

The truth is that there are many good people in good institutions regretfully making the choice to sacrifice trans people because they fear for their own survival and their institution's survival...

This story has been passed around a few times. Pope Francis' tip was to "bend, bend, bend, but don't break" and Merkel has been heralded as super smart for following it.
I think it was terrible advice and Merkel was super dumb for following it.
