Karine Jean Pierre is the White House Press secretary. She took over Jen Psaki’s position after she fled the sinking Biden ship to make way for MSNBC. You would think that having a boss who’s been in government for about 120 years, with eight years as the vice president, would be an advantage. Biden’s experience was supposed to be his strength, why some people were voting for him as the supposedly “knowledgable moderate.” But Biden and his team have revealed that either they are incredibly ignorant or they’re deliberately tanking things because of their many mistakes, from Afghanistan to denying inflation as it unfolded. Nearly every issue that they address turns into chaos.
One of their worst failures — there have been so many so it’s hard to rate the worst — is the border. Biden might have gotten away with the same policies that Donald Trump used. Biden instead wanted to destroy all those policies so there is the current border crisis. Susie Moore (my colleague) wrote about the horrible tragedy in which 46 people were killed by heat, after they had been smuggled to the United States. Up to 100 people were packed in the truck. The media has tended to ignore the people dying while trying to illegally enter the country under Biden because it doesn’t make for good press. It was difficult for the media to ignore this.
Jean-Pierre was questioned about the deaths she witnessed while on Air Force One, Joe Biden’s flight to Madrid (Spain), and came back with some amazing information.

“The fact of the matter is the border is closed,” Jean-Pierre claimed.
“The fact of the matter is” that there are a few problems with her statement. First, “closed” means no traffic — legal or illegal — that the border is shut down. The border is by no means “closed.” But she doesn’t even seem to understand what the term means. How are you in that position and you don’t know what such terms mean? Unfortunately, with the Biden team, it’s a problem that we see over and over again.
But beyond the definition of the term, how does anyone credibly try to argue that the “border is closed” as thousands keep pouring across illegally in record numbers? This is like inflation is transitory, we’re not leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin is solely responsible for gas prices.
Here’s Jorge Ventura from the Daily Caller on Monday, showing just how “closed” it truly is. He watches as many illegally cross Rio Grande to enter the country from Eagle Pass in Texas.
Reporting from the Rio Grande River, hundreds of migrants illegally cross into Eagle Pass, Texas. Most are from Venezuela. They were then followed for 35 mile to Piedras Negras. @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/8q2wyihdDv

It’s just such a denial of reality — something else we’ve seen constantly from the Biden team — that it got quizzical eyes from Fox’s Bret Baier and Ed Morrissey from our sister site, Hot Air.

There has also been much criticism of the lies from others. But if they wonder why they have such low numbers in the polls, yes, it’s the economy but it’s also things like this — they just burn their credibility right and left when they try to sell nonsense like this.
