WHITE HOUSE (VINnews) — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — known for her skilled mastery at answering super tough questions with ease, in a highly intellectual way, while not getting rattled — lashed out at Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, over a question on “immigration” Thursday afternoon.

Of course, she never actually answered his question.

The heated exchange came during Thursday’s briefing during which Doocy confronted KJP over the southern border seeing 10,000 illegal crossings in a single day this week.

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

“So, what do you call it, Peter, when [the] GOP put forth a — wait, no, no, no, no, no, you can’t,” Jean-Pierre said, talking over Doocy.

“You’re answering my question with a question,” Doocy responded.

“I’m answering — OK, we’re going to move on,” Jean-Pierre said as the pair started talking over one another.

“Karine, please,” Doocy said.

“No, no, no, we’re moving on,” she declared once again before motioning to another reporter. “In the back.”

“You said you were stopping the flow at the border. Ten thousand migrants—” Doocy replied.

“Peter, I tried to answer the question, and you stopped me,” Jean-Pierre said. “Let’s go.”

Doocy was not allowed further questions, shockingly.

The Biden WH has been the least transparent ever. the preisdnet himself has held the least press conferences of any president ever in modern day times. When he is forced to do it seldomly (like when hosting a foreign leader) he only takes the most scripted and limited questions.

it’s called painting yourself into a corner. the democrats don’t really have an immigration plan, other than just posing as the opposite of anything trump did. sadly, this precludes doing necessary things, like better control at the border, or smarter things, like replacing the green card lottery with a proper selection process. because trump.

Texas should keep sending buses with illegals to every democrat controlled county in the country especially those that have a chance to flip. Let’s face it NYC will still vote for democrats no matter how bad the situation gets but there are many countys that would flip over this issue.

Karine is our first African American female open lesbian press secretary in our Nations racist history. One is never allowed to criticize her/him/it.

And his press secretary is all scripted too. All she says is we will “circle back”.

Biden can lose on this issue. It’s a very fair criticism. Even though I didn’t agree with much of what trump did about illegal immigration, this is not a viable alternative.
