White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced backlash from social media users after suggesting that a viral video showing illegal immigrants rushing the Texas National Guard at the southern border should be Governor Greg Abbott’s concern, not President Biden’s.
The video, which captured the dramatic moment of migrants storming the border, has sparked controversy over the handling of the situation. Jean-Pierre’s comments deflecting responsibility to Abbott drew criticism from those who believe Biden has not taken sufficient action to secure the border.
Critics, including Republican communications guru Matt Whitlock and Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich, condemned Jean-Pierre’s remarks, with some calling it an “abdication of duty” on the part of the Biden administration.
The ongoing debate over immigration policy and border security continues to be a contentious issue, with many pointing fingers at both the federal government and state officials for failing to address the challenges at the southern border.
As the situation unfolds, the public remains divided on who should take the lead in addressing the crisis and ensuring the safety and security of the border. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
