Karine Jean-Pierre Won’t Say If Biden Will “Tear” Border Wall Down Since They Claim It Doesn’t Work
On 10/5/2023, during White House Press Brief, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “As a candidate, President Biden didn’t say, “There will not be another foot of wall constructed that — except what was appropriated in 2019.” He said, “There will not be another foot of wall constructed my administration.” So, something changed. What?
KJP: You want us to break the law? Is that what you want? You want us to not comply with the law?
Reporter: I’m not — I’m — I’m asking about —
KJP: But you want — but you want us to not comply —
Reporter: He was declarative.
KJP: — with the law? You want us to not be an administration that follow the rule of law?
Reporter: You guys do this all the time. The student loans — the student loan forgiveness program — you went to court to fight for that. If this is such a problem — building 20 miles of wall — why not just go to court?
KJP: We went to Congress. The Congress appropriates the funding.
Reporter: Why not go to — why not —
KJP: Congress —
Reporter: — fight them more?
KJP: Congress appropriates the funding. We asked them to not use that funding for that particular purpose. They denied it. And now we’re complying with the law.
Reporter: If you have to build a border wall but you don’t think that it’s going to work, then once it’s done, are you just going to tear it down?
KJP: I’m not getting into hypotheticals from here. I’m just telling you what I can tell you from here. The facts are that DHS is complying with the law.
KJP, As Usual, Claims She Has No Idea Why Admin Flip Flopped On Border Wall
Reporter: You’ve reiterated that the President’s position is consistent when it comes to the border wall. His DHS Secretary previously said in 2021 that he was against the border wall. As plenty of my colleagues have pointed out, he has recently said that there’s, you know, an “acute need.” It seems that his Secretary has changed his mind. So, will the President or has the President inquired what caused that evolution?
KJP: Of? What caused the evolution of —
Reporter: Of Mayorkas’s opinion when it comes to the wall.
KJP: Well, you just heard from the President. I’m not going to get into —
Reporter: Well, is he — is he curious perhaps what Mayorkas saw?
KJP: I — I — I’m just saying that you just heard from the President. He was asked directly the question, and he said, “No.”
I don’t have anything else to add beyond that.
