White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said yesterday that Biden did NOT take FEMA relief money to use on migrants.
But, no surprise, it turns that was a complete lie.
APOCTOZ on X has the video:
The video doesn’t lie. KJP really said that and it was on September 15, 2022 in response to a question about DeSantis sending illegals to Martha’s Vineyard.
Q Hey. Thanks so much. I just wanted to follow up on the Martha Vineyard — Martha’s Vineyard situation. Is it possible to — I don’t know, I mean, are there — what recourse do you have when those kind of situations happen?
And then I have another question.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, I can tell you what the administration is doing. So, as we have done many times in response to these types of attempts by Republican governors to create — really, what they’re doing is creating chaos and they’re creating confusion. So, we are working to manage the consequences of these stunts.
The administration has been in regular touch with the cities, and FEMA Regional Administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies.
Funding is also available through FEMA’s emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and not-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for these migrants.
Then she said it again the following day when asked about the bussing of illegals:
Q I wanted to ask if the White House plans any legal responses for the state sending migrants on buses and, secondly, if there’s plans to reimburse those cities or provide funding for how they’re handling that.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, on your first question, it’s basically — we’re referring — I was asked a question like this yesterday — to Department of Justice on any legal actions that might be taken or being looked at. Certainly, that is for them to take a — take a look at.
As far as how we’re supporting cities: So, you know, as we’ve done many times in response to repeated attempts by these Republican officials to create chaos and confusion at the border, we are working to manage the consequences of including this latest political charade that we’re seeing. So, FEMA Regional Administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate — to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies.
Funding is also available through FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter program to eligible local governments and not- — not-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants.
They clearly funded illegal migrants with FEMA money and now they are lying their asses off about it because they don’t have enough FEMA money right now for Hurricane victims.
