Karine Jean-Pierre slammed for refusing to address border crisis issue in viral exchange: ‘Pathetic’

In a single day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported more than 10,000 border crossings.
On Thursday, people on social media were upset that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t answer Peter Doocy’s question about the situation at the border.

During the day’s press conference, Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about recent data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which said that more than 7,500 undocumented people crossed the border on Sunday, and that number was expected to rise to more than 10,000 a day by the end of the week. The conversation got heated when Jean-Pierre yelled at Doocy for talking over her.

“So, what do you call it here at the White House when 10,000 people cross the border illegally in a single day?” Doocy inquired.

“So, what do you call it, Peter, when the GOP puts forward a—wait, no, no, no, no, no, you can’t,” Jean-Pierre said, talking over Doocy as he tried to clarify the question.
“You’re answering my question with a question,” Doocy said.

“I’m answering. OK, let’s move on,” Jean-Pierre says as the two start talking over each other.

“Karine, please,” said Doocy.

Again, she said, “No, no, no, we’re moving on,” and then she pointed to another reporter. “Back there.”

“You said you were going to stop people from crossing the line. Ten thousand people moved…” Doocy said before he was again cut off.

“Peter, I tried to answer the question, but you stopped me,” Jean-Pierre told the other reporter before turning back to the first one. “Shall we go?”

People on social media talked about the back-and-forth between the two, pointing out that Jean-Pierre hadn’t done anything to stop the nearly record number of border crossings.
Kevin McMahon, a video writer for Townhall.com, joked about how Karine acts like a replacement teacher.

As of last month, sources told FOX News that the government was holding about 20,000 refugees. NBC News says that after people cross the border, Border Patrol immediately lets anywhere from 100 to 200 of them out onto U.S. streets. A radio host and FOX News analyst, Guy Benson, said it was “pathetic.”

The editor-in-chief of The Post Millennial, Libby Emmons, said, “She doesn’t think Doocy deserves a response. In this clip, I have to say that she reminds me a lot of my evil stepmother.
Doug Powers of Twitchy said, “KJP actually said, ‘I know you are, but what am I?’ because she won’t answer for the mess they’ve made on purpose.”

Chris Brunet, a contributor to the American Conservative, said, “As a Canadian, I couldn’t move to the U.S. even if I wanted to, which I do. “SMH, I should have been born in Guatemala.”
“It’s called ‘an invasion,’” actor Dean Cain wrote.

“‘What do you call it here at the White House when 10,000 people cross the line illegally in one day?’ The situation is in trouble. “She should say ‘crisis,’” the official “X” account of the GOP said.

Illegal border crossings increased significantly in September as daily contacts increased.

The number of people crossing the border slowed down this summer, but it’s back up again now.
Illegal crossings of the U.S.-Mexico border are on the rise this month, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection is seeing a lot more people each day than they did in the summer.

NBC News said that CBP data showed that border agents met more than 7,500 refugees just on Sunday. Of those, 1,800 were in Rio Grande Valley, Texas; 1,600 were in Del Rio, Texas; 1,500 were in Tucson, Arizona; and more than 1,000 were in El Paso, Texas.

After a slow period over the summer, the number of people crossing the border has gone up every week since September. However, the number of people crossing is still less than the record of 10,000 per day set in May. The government of President Biden had said that the lower numbers during the summer showed that its tactics at the border were working.

Fox News got drone footage of more than 2,200 people crossing the border early Monday morning near Eagle Pass, Texas.
“We stay on guard and expect changes, knowing that smugglers will keep using false information to take advantage of weak people,” CBP told the outlet. “CBP is working according to plan and as part of our standard procedures to quickly decongest the areas along the southwest border and to safely and efficiently screen and process migrants so they can be put through immigration enforcement proceedings that follow our laws.”
In July, an average of 4,300 people crossed each day. On Sunday, there were 7,500.

On Monday, the CBP’s El Paso Office of Field Operations stopped handling goods at the Bridge of the Americas (BOTA) port of entry for the time being. The agency did not say when it would go back to normal operations. Instead, it said it would do so “as soon as possible.”
CBP said, “The temporary suspension at BOTA will allow CBP’s Office of Field Operations officers to help the U.S. Border Patrol process noncitizens who arrived between the ports of entry, including vulnerable groups like families and children who came alone.” “CBP regularly plans for and carries out contingency measures like this one to support the agency’s overall mission and make sure that people in its care are safe and healthy.”
