During Thursday’s White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Karine Jean-Pierre on the talking points cards being distributed among Democrats to help distance Kamala Harris from her “bored czar” title.
“Democrats on Capitol Hill are being handed this card with talking points about the Vice President and the border. Do you know who’s handing these out?” Doocy asked KJP.
“I have no idea, you should probably ask her campaign,” KJP shot back.
“Why are Democrats so sensitive about the vice president and the border?” Doocy asked. “Do you think that the border would be less of a talking point now if there was less migration to the border, say, if somebody had addressed ‘root causes’ of migration sooner?”
“[Border apprehensions] are down by 55%. Not because of Republicans and what they did. It’s because of what this president and this vice president did,” Jean-Pierre responded.
“We are going to debunk the false characterization of the vice president. She was not a border czar. And it’s not just us. Independent fact-checkers have said the same thing — that that did not exist, and that is not true,” she added.
The “talking points card” Doocy referenced was shared widely on X:
