Notable points here:

Trump and his surrogates will blame [Harris] for the economic policies of the Biden administration, as well as the border crisis. Based on my experience, however, a vice president truly has little to no influence on economic policy. A vice president may provide input, but it is the president who is the ultimate decision-maker. That is part of the job of being the president. Further, Congress has as much, if not more, power to affect our economy through legislation. It is as much their failure as Biden’s that child care, housing, gasoline and groceries cost too much. And as for the border, Trump and his supporters in Congress assumed partial responsibility for the tough border situation when they killed bipartisan legislation in order to help Trump’s election chances.

    I said it about Cheney and I’ll say it about Gonzalez - yet another wealthy torture enthusiast disgusted by the state of the modern Republican party that they are 100% responsible for creating.

    Opinion by Alberto Gonzalez

    And that’s when I noped out of that article. I think it’s safe to say that no one on Kamala’s team gives a flying fuck what he has to say about anything, nor do I.
