Kamala Harris compares ICE to KKK, gets slammed for 'disgusting,' 'horrifying' remarks

California Democrat and likely 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris drew fury after comparing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan during a hearing on Capitol Hill.

She asked Ronald Vitiello, President Trump's nominee to lead ICE, whether he shares what she said was the public’s view that ICE was spreading fear and mistrust, in particular among immigrant communities, the same way the KKK did.

“Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels [with the KKK]?,” she asked.

"Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels [with the KKK]?"

— Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.
The comparison prompted outrage, with RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel slamming Harris for “disgusting” partisanship. “Kamala Harris is trying to launch her 2020 campaign off of comparing ICE officers to the KKK, and it's absolutely disgusting,” she tweeted.

“What utter, complete & horrifying disrespect for our law enforcement officers. I get she’s auditioning for 2020, but come on...,” wrote GOP spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany.

Harris pointed out to Vitiello’s controversial tweet from 2015 in which he said the Democratic Party was comparable to a “liberal-cratic” or “neo-Klanist” entity. The nominee apologized and admitted that those words were offensive.

“What is the history that would then make those words wrong?” the Democrat then asked, prompting Vitiello to say that the KKK would be labeled as a domestic terrorist group by today’s standards and was motivated by race and ethnicity.

But Vitiello pushed back against Harris’ line of questioning, saying “I do not see any parallels” between the immigration enforcement agency and the white supremacist group and inquired whether she was asking him if the two were in the same category.

“No, I'm very specific in what I'm asking you. Are you aware of a perception that the way that they ..." Harris went on, before the nominee snapped back saying, “I see none.”

“Are you aware that there is a perception that ICE is administering its power in a way that is causing fear and intimidation, particularly among immigrants and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America?” she asked again.

Harris ended her questioning asking whether Vitiello can lead the agency if he’s not aware of the negative views toward it.

“It seems to me that you would understand that when you use words like the words you used just three short years ago, that that would contribute to that perception,” Harris said. “And it's harmful then, it's harmful, in terms of the mission of the agency and the work of the individuals there. And it is harmful in terms of leading — innocent people arriving at our border fleeing harm, it is harmful to them.”

Harris is widely rumored to be considering a run for Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination. She recently visited Iowa, one of the first primary states, and swing states such as Ohio, raising speculation that she’s building her national image before the election.

Sigh, manufactured outrage...getting old from both sides.



You did manage to quote where the nominee acknowledged his 2015 KKK reference, resulting in mirror image outrage I am sure, was wrong. Sowing and reaping...

[Grandpa's Spells]

ICE is dumb. It came out in like 2003 to stop terrorists, and it's jailing toddlers.

[Thud]

Gee, I wonder if there was any context to her line of questioning in a nomination process?

I don't follow. The KKK was, for at least part of its time, a domestic terror group. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement division is just that, a government agency.

My bad guys, I did not read the comments in order. Nafod, totally agree about the manufactured outrage. To me though, this is high humor, not outrage. It's funny because she thinks that this is going to get her elected.

[Thud]

So what is the nominated head of ICE doing calling the democratic party a domestic terrorist group?

Acting like an ass? You have it wrong if you think I'm defending dumb statements like that, but it was three years ago, the person apologized, and perhaps most importantly, that person is not lining up a run for the big ticket. In that light, there's a clear difference.

No big difference, they're both "lined up" for something, both being vetted, and he's being made to answer for his dumb shit comments that weigh upon his worthiness to the position. Held to account, as it were.

[Thud]

The part you seem to be missing is that her words were a turn of the table on him. She was mocking his idiocy.

Lemme get this straight: he was wrong to compare the Democratic Party to terrorists, but she's in the right to compare ICE to the KKK? That's an interesting, by which I mean retarded, stance to take.

Shes saying "you've likened the democratic party to the KKK; how does it feel to yourself as the nomited head of ICE, and all the people who work for it, if ICE is labeled similarly. WHat do you think of officials who are reckless with such attacks (like yourself) on well meaning employees?"

She's not calling ICE the KKK, she's turning his words on him.

Her big miscalculation was in thinking people like you could detect the context and mockery of him.

[Fat Cat]

So we agree that it was a clumsy and ineffective line from a woman who will never be president. I'm ever so relieved.

Americans Would Feel Safer If a Huge Caravan of Angry White Men Left the Country

By Andy Borowitz

November 1, 2018

MINNESOTA (The Borowitz Report)—A vast majority of Americans would feel significantly safer if an enormous caravan consisting of angry white men left the country, a new poll indicates.

The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, suggests that the concept of an angry-white-male caravan could be the most wildly popular policy proposal in the run-up to Tuesday’s midterm elections.

In an indication of just how much support the proposal has, many Americans said that they would personally contribute gas money to help get the caravan on its way.

Despite the popularity of the caravan, however, there was disagreement over what the optimal number of angry white men to depart with it would be, with some suggesting a figure of twenty thousand and others preferring a number as high as forty million.

Additionally, the implementation of such a caravan could face major obstacles; the survey indicates that both Mexican and Canadian voters overwhelmingly oppose any influx whatsoever of angry white American males.

Who, Kamala?

Yup

Johno, she's more Indian (India) than Jamaican by upbringing.

Johno, she's more Indian (India) than Jamaican by upbringing.

Barack was half white, raised by his white mother & grandparents in Hawaii. But no one marketed him as either Hawaiian or as white.

So it will be with Kamala, as long as she's at least 1/1024th black.

She's not calling ICE the KKK, she's turning his words on him.

If only she had made her point as succinctly as you did. (If that was her point.) She was needlessly argumentative, meandering, and incoherent.

[Turdacious]

Lest we forget what happened earlier in what must have been the trump presidency.

[powerlifter54]

Every time that dimwit talks it is great for the Republicans.

Thanks to Barrack, gonna be a long time before another black Or even 1/1024th Black President,

Willie’s Girl is just entertainment value.

[nafod]

President Kamala Harris, start getting used to it now. The sting will go away eventually. Or not.
