EXCLUSIVE – A pro-Trump group has launched a $500,000 ad campaign targeting Vice President Kamala Harris over her handling of the border crisis ahead of her acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination on Thursday.
Conservative nonprofit Building America's Future has released a one-minute ad that will appear on digital platforms in key battleground states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin ahead of Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
“Three years ago, Vice President Kamala Harris was given an important task: getting the border crisis under control. Was she up to the task?” the narrator asks.

The ad includes an infamous exchange Harris had with a reporter in 2021. When asked if she had plans to visit the border, Harris laughingly replied, “Not today.”

After showing headlines about the record number of illegal immigrants crossing the border, including those on the terrorist watch list, the ad invokes the tragic murders of Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley and Joselyn Toaquiza, blaming the vice president as the so-called border czar.
“Instead of asking for a promotion, Kamala Harris should start by saying their names,” the narrator adds.

The #SayTheirNames campaign will also launch mobile billboards and 2D projections at Harris campaign events in key states of the gravestones of victims who have been killed by illegal immigrants during the Biden-Harris administration.
Harris' campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Illegal immigration is widely seen as one of Harris' biggest vulnerabilities ahead of the November election. Since she emerged as the Democratic nominee, Harris' team has sought to distance the vice president from the “border czar” label given to her by both the media and her critics.
