Analysis / Bias
“Kamala Border Bloodbath” exhibits a strong right-leaning bias, using emotionally loaded language to critique Vice President Harris’s immigration policies. The site frequently uses loaded language, especially in its video section with headlines like:
- “Biden admin playing a game of ‘red rover’ with border crisis, attorney says: ‘Send your criminals right over'”
- “HARRIS MIGRANT CRIME: Two illegals (let in by Border Czar Kamala) were arrested for the rape of the same victim.”
- “HARRIS BORDER CRISIS: An illegal alien — who Border Czar Kamala let into the country — was arrested for the rape of a 10-YEAR-OLD BOY.”
These examples demonstrate the site’s use of inflammatory, emotive language designed to provoke strong negative reactions and frame Harris as directly responsible for crimes allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants. The videos link to the GOP’s Rapid Response social media page, a platform known for its partisan messaging and rated as factually questionable by Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC).
The website also features state-specific pages, including those for swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Florida, where it highlights fentanyl deaths and crimes allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants. For example, the North Carolina page lists specific crimes, such as the Texas police arrest of a suspect in a Charlotte shooting and a man charged with murder in High Point, NC. The Florida page continues this pattern, citing incidents like an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala accused of a double homicide and three undocumented individuals arrested for alleged abduction and sexual assault in Palm Beach County.
Some of these incidents are based on credible sources. However, in this section, the site’s approach lies in its selective focus. By exclusively highlighting crimes committed by undocumented immigrants, the site is framing a narrative that strongly implies these incidents are a portrayal of the broader immigrant population. This type of selective reporting can lead to a skewed perception, where readers might generalize that most or all undocumented immigrants are criminals despite broader research showing that undocumented immigrants, as a group, have lower crime rates compared to native-born citizens (FactCheck.org).
In general, this is a propaganda website for Trump’s campaign against Kamala Harris.
