Psaki exsplains Biden's border visit
-
Doocy asked “Why did President Biden say he has been to the border?”
Link to videoUm, it was 13 years ago, and it lasted about 2 minutes. Because he was in a CAR.
The RWEC comments:
"Kessler compares Biden’s claim (that he has been to the border) to counting a flight layover in another country as a visit to that country. That’s not a good analogy. What Biden is doing is more like claiming you visited a country because your plane flew over a corner of it for two minutes without even landing. How is this absurd claim not worthy of a even a single Pinocchio?
In any case, this drive-by border visit is apparently the only time in Biden’s long career that he has ever been near the border. That may explain why Psaki was so eager to offer a filibuster answer about Biden being “well-versed in every aspect” of the immigration system. She wrapped up her spiel by saying, “He does not need a visit to the border to know what a mess was left by the last administration...
This is just a trainwreck of an exchange but the fact that the White House is claiming Biden’s 2-minute drive past the border 13 years ago counts as a visit really is astounding. "
Har-dee-har-har.
Remember how Bush was pilloried for the photo of him flying over New Orleans during Katrina? He didn't "visit" but sat in the comfort of Air Force One.
Yeah, fact-checkers at their f'ing best.
