U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was blasted during a Fox News interview on Thursday. Host Martha MacCallum held Kirby’s feet to the fire on security at the southern border.
“This is not just the same old immigration issue we’ve had going on for a decade as he said the other day,” MacCallum told Kirby. “These are record numbers all the time. And people in Iowa and New Hampshire are the ones that are expressing concerns about it. This isn’t Arizona and Texas. This is Iowa and New Hampshire. I don’t think that people sense that there’s an urgency to address this.”
Kirby tried to pivot, suggesting that border talks in Congress are moving along well — but MacCallum wasn’t buying that for a minute.
“They’re not really moving along well,” MacCallum fired back. “You say he’s been concerned about it for three years, but that’s failing, obviously. When you have record numbers of people coming in, that means the policy’s failing. So, why not change gears and try to do something that works?”
MacCallum continued to press Kirby: “John, do we have a border? Do we have a southern border? Do we have a southern border?”
