UPDATE: NY Post issues correction; New York Post: Taxpayers are purchasing copies of Kamala Harris's children's book to be given to unaccompanied migrant children

Editor’s note: Since this post’s original publication, the New York Post has walked back their initial reporting and has revised the number of migrant children who have received Kamala Harris’ book to only one known child. The Post’s piece now includes this note at the bottom:

Laura Italiano, who authored the original post, has since resigned:

An announcement: Today I handed in my resignation to my editors at the New York Post.

The Kamala Harris story — an incorrect story I was ordered to write and which I failed to push back hard enough against — was my breaking point.

Our post as it was originally published appears below.

This is something … according to the New York Post, the Biden-Harris administration is including in its welcome kits for unaccompanied migrant children a copy of Vice President Kamala Harris’s children’s book, “Superheroes Are Everywhere.” And they’re using tax money to buy the books.

The books are being paid for by the Biden administration, using U.S. taxpayer dollars

The Post reports:

Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t been to the border to address a crisis she was tasked to help fix — but a children’s book she wrote is waiting there for young migrants who are being welcomed into the country.

Unaccompanied migrant kids brought from the U.S.-Mexico border to a new shelter in Long Beach, Calif., will be given a copy of her 2019 children’s book, “Superheroes are Everywhere,” in their welcome kits.

I wonder if she gave it to the “welcome packages” for free or if she made millions in kickbacks from this garbage. Hopefully she donated it to these people, but something tells me she did not. I don’t know what it is, but I’d bet she made a lot of money through this

Even better, they probably got double sold. First to be “sold” and sit in a warehouse to inflate numbers, then passed on to the kids who can’t read it. What a deal!

Isn't this the same thing the former mayor of Baltimore got in trouble for?

Now it’s a crisis.

This is absolutely wrong to be using taxpayer money to buy her books. Probably illegal too.

This has to be parody.

Well we know @VP won’t hand deliver them herself. Autographed copies would be a nice touch.

That will surely make them enjoy the cages they are still in.

Only way they can move copies of that book
