Guess who’s “not getting into it from here”?
During an exchange in Thursday’s White House press briefing, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre a real head-scratcher that sent her into spin mode.
“As a candidate, President Biden didn’t say ‘There will not be another foot of wall constructed, except for what was appropriated in 2019.’ He said, ‘There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.’ So, something changed. What?” Doocy asked.
“You want us to break the law,” Jean-Pierre said. “Is that what you want? You want us to not comply with the law.”
“I’m not — I’m asking about, he was —” Doocy began.
“But you want us not to comply with the law,” the press secretary said. “You want us not be an administration that follows the rule of law.”
“You guys do this all the time. The student loans, the student loan forgiveness program. You went to court to fight for that. If this is such a problem, building 20 miles of wall, why not just go to court?” Doocy asked.
Doocy also hit KJP with this stumper.
“If you ‘have’ to build a border wall but you don’t think that it’s gonna work, then once it’s done, are you just gonna tear it down…?” Doocy asked KJP.
“I’m not getting into hypotheticals from here,” KJP answered.

"About this border issue, it does look like he's backtracking on a promise…"

"Has the president inquired what caused that evolution [of administration opinion on a border wall]?"
