Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s press secretary Renae Eze fired back after the White House admonished the Lone Star State for an “illegal stunt”; Abbott & Co. sent two busloads of border migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington D.C.
“The White House is full of a bunch of hypocrites, led by the Hypocrite-in-Chief who has been flying planeloads of migrants across the country and oftentimes in the cover of night,” Eze told Fox News.
“These migrants willingly chose to go to Washington, D.C., having signed a voluntary consent waiver available in multiple languages upon boarding that they agreed on the destination. And they were processed and released by the federal government, who dumped them in small Texas border towns,” Eze said.
“Instead of their hypocritical complaints about Texas providing much-needed relief to our overrun and overwhelmed border communities, President Biden and Border Czar Harris need to step up and do their jobs to secure the border—something they continue failing to do,” Eze said.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre took a shot at Abbott during Thursday’s press conference.
“What they are doing is an illegal stunt, is a political stunt. And it’s really just disrespectful to humanity. It doesn’t afford them any dignity, what they’re doing when you are abandoning families and children in a place where they were told they were going to get housing,” Jean-Pierre said. “It is just cruel, and it’s not about the process. Actually, It’s about a political tool or political stunt that they’re moving forward with.”
Governor Abbott says he does intend to stop the bussing —right after Joe secures the border.
