Rep. Steve Scalise Caught Holding a Milk Carton Declaring Kamala Harris Missing … While VP is Doing a Border Event

By Colby HallApr 14th, 2021, 11:13 am

Rep. Steve Scalise has earned a reputation for making stark and damaging claims against his political rivals that eventually prove to be entirely wrong. Who can forget the numerous times that he falsely—and dangerously irresponsibly—claimed that Democrats were in favor of murdering babies? Now there is a new entry to the growing canon of Scalise proving himself wrong.

While covering a GOP Leadership press conference Wednesday morning, Punchbowl founder Jake Sherman tweeted an image of Scalise holing a milk carton mocked up to feature Vice President Kamala Harris in what can be fairly called a sophomoric political stunt designed to bring critical attention to the notion that the VP has been absent from what the GOP insist is a crisis of illegal immigration at the US border.

The only problem with Scalise’s ill-planned stunt? At the very time, this photo was taken, Vice President was leading a virtual roundtable discussion focused on diplomatic issues with Mexico and Northern Triangle nations (Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala) that lay at the root of the migration problems the nation currently faces.

Check out the tweeted image below:
