Three questions CNN should ask Kamala Harris, if it's serious about combating the perception that it is an extension of the DNC
CNN's Dana Bash will either toss softballs to Harris, or she will ask tough questions -- like these. Her decision will either galvanize, or diminish, the perception that CNN is leftist propaganda.
On June 27, the Daily Signal published my debut editorial, suggesting three questions that CNN should ask President Biden at that night’s debate. This is is my follow-up.
Here are the questions I suggest for Dana Bash, who will be conducting this interview for CNN:
(1) Why have you ignored the millions of migrant women and girls who’ve been raped on the way to the US southern border — and done nothing to help the US Border Patrol to ensure that their rapists are not allowed onto our soil?
(2) What is your position on the Department of Customs and Border Protection (CBP)’s recent refusal to release data on how many individuals on our Terrorist Watch List have been caught at our border, attempting to enter America, or were interdicted on US soil, since you took office?
(3) What is your position on President Biden’s statement that he wants to begin importing Gaza Palestinians onto US soil — even though he knows that most support Hamas, and hate America?
(1) Why have you ignored the millions of migrant women and girls who’ve been raped on the way to the US southern border — and done nothing to help the US Border Patrol to ensure that their rapists are not allowed onto our soil?
Early in the Biden administration, you were assigned the task of being the "Border Czar," purportedly to help stop the inflow of foreign nationals from all over the world who attempt to unlawfully enter US soil, after refusing to comply with our established immigration and refugee procedures, background checks, etc.
Much has been reported about the estimated 9-10 million illegal aliens who ignored our immigration laws, and walked/sneaked into America. This does not include the estimated 20% more who are classified as “got-aways,” meaning, they evaded our Border Patrol officers, are now on US soil, whose backgrounds and intents are totally unknown.
Against this background, in 2014, the far-left HuffPost reported UN data showing that “80% Of Central American Women, Girls Are Raped Crossing Into The U.S.” Here’s an excerpt:
“As the number of Central American women and girls crossing into the U.S. continues to spike, so is the staggering amount of sexual violence waged against these migrants who are in search of a better life.
According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That’s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.”
The rapists, often smugglers whom the migrants must pay to help get them get across our border, don’t even bother hiding what they are doing to these females. To the contrary, like Hamas, the create “trophies” of what they did, in this case, in the form of “rape trees” — into which they display the underwear of the women and girls they sexually terrorized.
My question for you is: Why have you ignored the millions of migrant women and girls who’ve been raped on the way to the US southern border — and done nothing to help the US Border Patrol to ensure that their rapists are not allowed onto our soil?
(2) What is your position on the Department of Customs and Border Protection (CBP)’s recent refusal to release data on how many individuals on our Terrorist Watch List have been caught at our border, attempting to enter America, or were interdicted on US soil, since you took office?
Continuing on the border, immigration and national security front, we have seen report after report of individuals who on our Terrorist Watch List being arrested at our border, or who made it onto US soil.
Yet on May 16, 2024, Fox News reported that:
“Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has rejected a request by Fox News to reveal the nationalities of people on the FBI terror watchlist arrested at the border by Border Patrol, citing "privacy interests" of those involved.”
What is your reaction to this official refusal to even release these numbers, not only to inform the American people of the situation, but of whether there has been an increase since you became the Border Czar?
(3) What is your position on President Biden’s statement that he wants to begin importing Gaza Palestinians onto US soil — even though he knows that most support Hamas, and hate America?
As you probably know, on May 1 & 2, 2024, the AP and Fox News reported that President Biden is considering importing Palestinian “refugees” onto US soil.
I assume he and you are aware of the data that shows there are no people on Earth who hate America more than Palestinians, and that the overwhelming majority of them support Hamas, its quest to destroy Israel, and its murder, rape, torture and kidnapping of Jews on 10/7:
February 2014: A Pew Research Center survey showed that Palestinians in Gaza nd the West Bank dislike the U.S. more than any other group, with 76% of respondents, the most on the list, qualifying America as an “enemy.”
84% of Palestinians in the West Bank, and 64% in the Gaza Strip, say they support Hamas’s 10/7 attack.
62% of those in the West Bank say they have a “very positive” view of Hamas.
More than 70% of Palestinians in both regions reject any “two-state solution,” and instead want Israel destroyed, to be replaced by a Palestinian nation.
As summarized in this infographic (excerpted from here), before Hamas’s 10/7 slaughter of Jews, the terrorist group enjoyed overwhelming support from the vast majority of Palestinians in both territories — support that has continued even after that terror attack:

Madame Vice President, given these metrics, and the fact that there is no database against which US national security agencies can use to determine which Gazans are terrorism supporters, and which are honestly seeking peaceful coexistence, what is your position on President Biden’s statement that he wants to begin importing Gaza Palestinians onto US soil?
