Vice President Kamala Harris flipped a question at her Friday press conference in Texas into a chance to attack former President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration policies.

Republicans and even some Democrats had previously criticized the vice president for making her first border trip to El Paso, a city nearly 1,000 miles away from what they call the epicenter of the border crisis, and the first question at Harris’s press conference asked why she selected El Paso over an area like the Rio Grande Valley.
