White House accuses Republicans of trying to turn border crisis into 'political stunt'
Fox News
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is accusing Republicans of trying to “politicize" and make the situation at the American border “worse."
"What I'm saying is that the president, without the help, without the help of Republicans, is doing everything that he can to deal with the border," she responded. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"While Republicans try to push forth a CR to limit – to take away – the federal agents that we see at the border... they're trying to politicize it and make it worse," Jean-Pierre continued, referencing recent efforts to avert a government shutdown. "That's what Republicans are trying to do and turn it into a political stunt. The president is actually dealing with the issue that's in front of him by getting record funding, 25,000 federal agents at the border. That is something that this president has been able to do."
