Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar says he has MOVED ON from trying to get Kamala Harris' help on the border because she 'doesn't seem interested' and hasn't returned his calls

Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar said that he's done trying to work with Vice President Kamala Harris on border issues.

'I say this very respectfully to her: I moved on,' Cuellar told The New York Times. 'She was tasked with that job, it doesn't look like she's very interested in this, so we are going to move on to other folks that work on this issue.'

Cuellar's gripes originated when Harris said she'd be visiting the border in June and a phone call from his office to hers went unreturned.

Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar (left) said that he's done trying to work with Vice President Kamala Harris (right) on border issues *** Cuellar, whose district is in southern Texas and along the U.S.-Mexico border, had instructed his aides to call the vice president's office to give them some help.

He said his experience with her team has been disappointing.

The moderate Democrat told The Times that in the future he would go straight to the West Wing for any immigration problems.

'At least they talk to you,' he said.

That says it all: Harris doesn’t even return the calls of a Hispanic Democrat congressman who is dealing with the border crisis up close and personal. So, what does she do? Plays the racist/sexist card to explain her low polling.

Perhaps a better question. 👍

Gee, how shocking. Who would have thought that someone who slept her way to the top, who was selected to VP because of her skin color and gender, would be incompetent and unconcerned about the country’s welfare.

Because his role is to give the Left "plausible deniability" when the SHTF.

Never forget, ALL modern politics is theater.

This guy is not too bright....He needs to switch political Parties like right now and become a Republican. In fact many House & Senate Democrats should switch parties and become Republicans immediately. Otherwise many of them will be defeated in the 2022 mid term elections!!!

The man’s a democrat, a lawyer, 66 years old and has been a legislator, either State or Federal, for over 30 years.

In my opinion, that’s about all you need to know about him. A classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

“ he would go straight to the West Wing for any immigration problems.”

So he’ll be contacting, who? The illegals are still coming over the border, so he still has an immigration problem, right? What a bunch of absolute 💩

Kamala Harris is clueless on any issue we would be better off with Edith Bunker as VP.
