Border Crisis

IT'S WIDE OPEN, KARINE! Press Sec Blasted for Claiming Border 'Not Open,' Says Disagreeing Helps Smugglers

posted by Hannity Staff - 12.20.22

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made a bold and demonstrably false claim during Monday’s press conference; ” I want to be very clear that the border is not open,” KJP told the briefing room to the shock of many conservative voices and prominent conservative news outlets.

“I want to be very clear here. The fact is that the removal of Title 42 does not mean the border is open,” Jean-Pierre said. “Anyone who suggests otherwise is simply doing the work of these smugglers who, again, are spreading misinformation which is very dangerous.”

Doing the work of smugglers?

KJP was blasted for her claim.

From Fox News:

“KJP continues an epic run as [White House press secretary]…” The Hill columnist Joe Concha tweeted.

“What a mess,” sportscaster Dan Dakich agreed.

Republican communicator Matt Whitlock wrote, “Curious if she knows that dozens of Democrats have been making that point.”

National Review contributor Pradheep J. Shanker tweeted, “This is gaslighting. The border is more open today [than] it has been in the last decade. Don’t believe me? See Biden’s own DHS stats that confirm this.”

Radio host Buck Sexton wrote, “The only people who think the southern border isn’t ‘open’ are White House officials and regime media propagandists.”

“A bold-faced lie,” Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw proclaimed, sharing photos of hundreds of illegal migrants crossing the border at night.

Meanwhile, Just The News is reporting that the feds lost track of 150k migrants due to Biden’s ‘no processing’ policy, an uncovered training video shows.
