The Morning Joe panel discusses how this 'organic wildfire' is ultimately a gift to Democrats.

To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden,” NBPBorder Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position,” the 81-year-president claimed during an exchange on immigration. The National Border Patrol Council refuted Biden’s claim mid-debate. Vice President Kamala Harris’s decision to visit the border city of El Paso, Texas, on Friday will keep her 800 miles away from the region that is seeing more than double the normal amount of illegal immigration. Lawmakers who have begged Harris for months to visit the U.S.-Mexico border are unhappy about the White House’s plans not to visit the Rio Grande Valley. Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas called the move a “politically safe trip.” “I’m sure her planners told her that if you’re going to go down to the border, go to something that’s safer to go to, that is, politically safer,” Cuellar told Fox News in an interview Thursday morning. “The epicenter is down there in the Lower Rio Grande, the lower part of my district down there.

Last Thursday Alex Wagner on MSNBC did a segment that talked about Vances statement being related to his childhood experience. He is very clearly the result of intergenerational trauma. He is the result of growing up in a toxic environment and experiencing trauma at an early age. Many people who experience childhood trauma don’t go on to be abusive, in fact, they much more likely to be the victims of abuse. But as a result of emotion immaturity some become very angry, and even abusive.

Many women are childless for a number of reasons. Choice, medical conditions or issues, etc. It is none of our business why someone does/doesn't have children. We can't know their struggle regarding having children. To say a woman without children is anti-family is ignorant. Vance's remarks were insensitive and thoughtless. And he made it worse by saying he likes "cats and dogs, I even have a dog." What???? FYI I'm a registered Republican so not a Democrat piling on top of his mess.

[@Julia-lk8jn]

One thing that Vance probably neither knows, nor understands, nor gives a d---- about: Those oh-so-pathetic cat-ladies are actually a valuable resource for the parents around them. I donated literally hundreds of hours of free baby-sitting to a friend so she could go to work and earn mony. My mother, who is now a potential cat lady due to her adult children being out of the house, donated time to tutor second generation migrant children in math. Similar for my sort-of US American granny who helped immigrants to learn English. The list goes on and on, and I read of at least one study which (unsurprisingly) showed that children who benefit from such help have better survival chances and better chances to live a healthy, successful life. Which makes double the sense because even a fairly short break gives parents a chance to be less stressed out and more patient parents. Meanwhile, Vance is exaclty the predictable collection of hateful stereotypes that perfectly represents the current GOP policies. (Sorry, I can hardly imagine how non-MAGA Republicans feel about the current fate of their party.)
