More lies from this administration
As Townhall has been covering, the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene has been just awful. Unsurprisingly, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has offered poor defenses, including when it comes to FEMA’s shameful failures. According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the agency is out of money for hurricane season, though illegal immigrants have received assistance, and the agency has been focused on “equity.” During Friday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre was confronted about how “former President Trump is accusing the Biden administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants,” with the reporter wanting to know “how is the White House responding to that?” Jean-Pierre sought to deny Trump’s point, emphasizing “it is a false statement,” as she hid behind a fact-check from The Washington Post Greg Price: Karine Jean-Pierre just said it is “categorically false” that FEMA uses it’s funding to resettle illegal aliens. This is in spite of the fact that it is literally advertised directly on FEMA’s website
