Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake called Vice President Kamala Harris "despicable" for visiting the U.S. border even though Republicans have called on the Democratic candidate to do just that.

In an interview on Sunday, host Maria Bartiromo asked Lake to react to Harris' visit to the border in Arizona.

On Sunday morning, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sat by silently while CNN "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper thoroughly ripped apart claims he made about violent immigrant criminals entering the U.S. under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

With the CNN host calling out Donald Trump for labeling his 2024 presidential opponent as "mentally disabled" in Wisconsin on Saturday, the South Carolina Republican preferred to talk about an ICE report alleging an invasion of immigrants.

Blowing off Tapper's question about the Harris smear, Graham changed the subject with, "I just think the better course to take is to prosecute the case that her policies are destroying the country. "

"They're crazy liberal, 400,000 people have been let loose in our country. 16,000 people convicted of being a rapist, 13,000 convicted murderers, and 400,000 people generally convicted of crimes were released on her watch it is not going to get better," Graham complained.

"Okay, so I saw that statistic and we dove into it, our fact fact-checker," Tapper replied while looking at documents in his hand. "That statistic is actually over decades. So some of those people you're talking about are people that came into the country during Trump. And, second of all, some of them are in prison, a lot of them are in prison, not ICE prisons, but federal prisons for their crimes."

Not disputing Tapper's reply, Graham parried, "The man who killed Laken Riley in Georgia was released by the Biden/Harris administration, on parole because they had no capacity at the border to hold him. That's not a reason to parole people."

"I promise you there have been women been raped and murdered, people have been hurt by illegal immigrants released in this country without the detention. It is a nightmare, it's crazy," he exclaimed.

The "Inside Politics" segment got off to an awkward start when CNN's Raju pointed out it is the one-year anniversary of the former House speaker's ouster which led him to eventually leave Congress.

"I would continue to lay out the facts," McCarthy parried.

"There are no facts, " Raju interjected.

"Let me finish my sentence, I appreciate your engagement, "McCarthy replied. "When you ask a question, let me finish."

"Sure," the CNN host replied only to have McCarthy once again repeat his claim about the 425,000 immigrants in the country "illegally" without addressing the beleaguered Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.

"That's not what the Haitian migrants ––," Raju interrupted.

"I know what you're talking about, but I'm trying to make a point here!" McCarthy snapped. "Because you want to pick one specific issue, you want to know why people are upset."

Media executive Tom Rogers said Friday night that Vice President Kamala Harris “has the momentum” to defeat Donald Trump in November’s “tight race,” but warned that “there is not enough focus” on the possibility that a third-party candidate could derail the race for the Democrats.

Rogers, editor-at-large of Newsweek and founder of MSNBC and CNBC, told host Stephanie Ruhle on “The 11^th Hour” Friday that while he believes that the former president’s poll numbers have “a ceiling,” the only way Trump wins the presidency “is if there is somebody on the ballot who takes his opponent down below 50%.”
