“[Condolences] to the families who lost . . . three folks who are military folks . . . fighting on behalf of this administration.” — White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Monday
We say: “Military folks”? Please.
The dead KJP was referring to were US soldiers killed in an Iranian-backed attack.
And they certainly weren’t fighting for Team Biden — but for the nation.
“Republicans . . . created this [migrant crisis].” — Gov. Kathy Hochul, Wednesday
We say: Sorry, gov. Republicans had the border well under control when Trump was president.
The crisis only erupted when President Biden scrapped Trump’s policies.
“The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.” — National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Sept. 2023

“We have not seen a situation as dangerous as the one we’re facing now across the region since at least 1973.” — Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Monday
We say: Uh, maybe it wasn’t so wise for Sullivan to brag . . .

“The fact that this word [genocide] is even in play . . . demonstrates the mass inhumanity that Gazans are facing.” — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Monday
We say: What utter sleaze. Antisemites like AOC toss out the word “genocide” to slur Israel — then claim since the term is “in play,” it proves Israel is guilty.
Yes, Gazans are suffering. But blame Hamas terrorists for that, not Israel.
“I’ve done all I can do [to fix the border].” — President Biden, Tuesday
We say: He’s done all he can to break the border. First, he jettisoned policies that worked, then adopted others, like catch-and-release, that made matters worse.
Indeed, there’s plenty Biden can do to fix the border, starting with enforcing current law.
