According to a report from The New York Post, Vice President Kamala Harris is getting roasted by prominent GOP voices on Twitter for visiting the Demilitarized Zone that separates North and South Korea on Thursday as part of her trip to Asia where she attended the funeral for former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo inadvertently disclosed the vice president’s upcoming plans.
“Your visit to the DMZ and Seoul will be very symbolic demonstrations of your strong commitments to the security and peace to the Korean Peninsula, and we are working with you and US in dealing with North Korea,” Han said Monday in a meeting with Harris.
The White House quickly confirmed the trip following Han’s reveal.
The GOP had a field day upon hearing the news. From The New York Post:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was one of the first Republicans to point out that Harris seems to be going to the wrong border.
“@KamalaHarris will travel anywhere in the world but our US southern border that is under invasion every day by thousands of unknown people & deadly poisonous fentanyl. Here she goes to South Korea & Japan, 2 countries that would never allow the same,” Greene said on Twitter.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) said the administration is taking an “AMERICA LAST” approach.
“Kamala is going to the Korean DMZ to review their border security. Would it be too much to ask for her to visit OUR BORDER!?,” Jackson said on Twitter. “Our country is being invaded, and Kamala’s biggest concern is to visit other nation’s borders. Kamala & Democrats are AMERICA LAST!!,” he continued.

“She could visit the RGV (Rio Grande Valley) instead, right?” said Stephanie Bice.

Harris was blasted earlier this month for telling Meet The Press’ Chuck Todd that the border is secure.
“The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed,” Harris said.
