Here’s the latest press sec. whopper!
During Thursday’s White House press conference, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that the Biden Administration has been securing the border —a claim that is demonstrably false.
Steve Guest, special advisor for communications for Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), was quick to call the claim “laughable.” Guest’s tweet, KJP’s claim, and evidence to the contrary below:

Other conservative voices were quick to call out KJP’s lie.

Tommy Pigott, rapid response director for the RNC, tweeted, “Biden on the border last week: ‘There’s more important things going on.’ If Biden actually went to the border, he would know his administration is lying when they say the border is secure.”
Breitbart’s Wendell Husebo tweeted a one-word response to Jean-Pierre’s comments: “Propaganda”.
