'I know that was a big talking point': CNN host slaps aside Trump backer's border claims
A former Donald Trump administration official butted head with CNN's Pamela Brown on Friday after he attempted to smear Vice President Kamala Harris over President Joe Biden's border enforcement policies.
Speaking with the host as CNN covered members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs questioning Donald Trump nominee Kristi Noem (R-SD), picked to be the new director, on a split screen, Ken Cuccinelli was asked what he expects from Trump's incoming administration.
Mentioning Trump's incoming "border czar," Tom Homan, the former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security under Trump added, "Of course, Joe Biden theoretically had a border czar, but she didn't do anything –– it's part of why she lost the race for president--."

"She was responsible for Central America countries, DHS, the head of DHS was responsible for --," Brown interjected.
"No, she wasn't," Cuccinelli shot back.
"I know that was a big talking point," she replied.
"Don't whitewash what they were doing," the former Trump official complained as he continued to talk as the CNN host admonished him, "I'm not white-washing."
