Doocy Asks KJP Point-Blank How Long Kamala Harris Has Known Admin Is Badly Handling Border

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre point-blank on Monday how long Vice President Kamala Harris has thought President Joe Biden has done a bad job handling the border crisis.

Doocy pressed Jean-Pierre on Harris’ campaign promise to increase the number of border agents to mitigate the flow of migrants illegally entering the U.S. The vice president, who was appointed by President Joe Biden in March 2021 to address “root causes” of migration in Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries, has flip-flopped on her positions regarding illegal immigration throughout her time in the administration and as a U.S. senator.

“How long have you guys known that Vice President Kamala Harris does not think President Biden is doing a good job at the border?” Doocy asked, followed by Jean-Pierre asking him to repeat the question. “Well, she’s now promising to hire thousands more border agents than there are now under President Biden.”

Jean-Pierre accused Doocy of interpreting Harris’ beliefs, and accused congressional Republicans and Republican nominee Donald Trump of “getting in the way” of adding more agents to the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The president does want more Border Patrol agents,” Jean-Pierre said. “You know who’s getting in the way? Republicans in Congress. They’re getting in the way. You know who else is getting in the way? The former president, Donald Trump. He’s getting in the way. I mean, there’s no daylight here. I’m not getting the question because there’s no daylight. The president believes that as well and he’s worked toward doing that.”
