White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to acknowledge any “crisis” at the US-Mexico border Tuesday; saying “I don’t think we need to sit here and put new labels” on the escalating problem.
“Is this a crisis at the border?” asked one reporter.
“I don’t think we need to sit here and put new labels on what he have already conveyed is challenging,” said Psaki. “What we have conveyed is a top priority for the President. Our policy teams are working on this every single day!”
“We’re putting in place policies that can address what we’re seeing,” concluded the Press Secretary.

PRESS SEC CLAMS UP: Psaki Asked If Biden Still Considers Cuomo ‘Gold Standard’ in CoVID Response
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki deflected questions surrounding New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over the weekend when asked if President Biden still considers the top Democrat the “gold standard” of leadership during the pandemic.
“Andrew Cuomo under fire for allegedly not being transparent and misleading on the number of nursing home deaths in New York. Last spring, President Biden called Andrew Cuomo the ‘Gold Standard’ for leadership during the pandemic… Does President Biden still consider him the ‘Gold Standard?’” asked a reporter with ABC News.
“We work with Governor Cuomo just like we work with Governors across the country. He’s played an important role in ensuring that we’re getting assistance out to people in his state. We’ll continue to do that. There will be an investigation, we’ll leave that to others,” said Psaki.
