White House Damage Control After Biden Calls Border Situation a 'Crisis'
pjmedia.com ^ | April 20, 2021 | MATT MARGOLIS

Last week, many of us were surprised when President Joe Biden used the word “crisis” to describe the situation at the southern border. “We’re going to increase the number [of refugees]. The problem was that the refugee part was working on the crisis that ended up on the border with young people. We couldn’t do two things at once.

”After months of refusing to call it a “crisis,” this seemed like a stunning admission that may have indicated that things were about to change, that the Biden administration would finally treat the situation at the border as a crisis.

So much for that. On Monday, the White House tried to walk back Biden’s comments, claiming they did not represent the administration’s official position.

“No, there is no change in position. Children coming to our border seeking refuge from violence, economic hardships and other dire circumstances is not a crisis,” a White House official told CNN. According to this official, Biden “was referring to the crisis in Central America — the dire circumstances so many are fleeing from. He was not referring to the Federal Government’s response.”

This ridiculous spin on Biden’s words could make you dizzy. Biden specifically said “the crisis that ended up on the border with young people,” an indisputable reference to what’s happening here, not what’s happening in Central America.

Since this explanation fell apart, White House Press Secretary Jen “Circle Back” Psaki tried to spin Biden’s words even more. “The president does not feel that children coming to our border seeking refuge from violence, economic hardships, and other dire circumstances is a crisis,” she said.

It wasn’t a crisis when you took over; Trump had it well in hand.

I thought he put Kamala Harris in charge of the border. But her priorities seemed to be the remodeling of a certain government structure she will be housed in (not a prison).

I read the other day that either Trump or someone else said if only Biden had left Trump’s immigration policies in place. No, Biteme has to undo every successful Trump policy because Orange Man Bad. What fools Hiden and Ho are.

The worst was when Joe Biden forgot where he was and said “President Trump should do something about this crisis!”

Joe is a day late and a dollar short again. The crisis has evolved into a catastrophe.

The president’s comments don’t represent his administration’s position. We are so screwed.

The word crisis gets thrown around so easily that it has no meaning. Republicans should stop using the term. In this instance, one of the phrases to be used should include, "brutal child rape and sex slavery." Nail that to Pedo Joe of the Biden Crime Family. Hunter certainly know what the term means, by experience.

But Republicans are pussies. They would never say, "Joe Biden fully supports brutal child rape and sex slavery through his policies. More than likely he doesn't want to draw attention to it because of his son, Hunter."

Those who let the dems get control of our government are guilty of selling the United 🇺🇸 States down the river is despair, and letting the devil of the pit destroy our nation.. The only place left.. The dream sought by do many... Turned over to rotten global commies.

They don’t care about this country.. They want power and control..so they can destroy a world...

btw... Gov kemp of ga was the one who gave the last illegal votes to the left.. He had no spine... We have his kind listed!

Well then, who is "the administration"? I don't see that word appearing in the Constitution anywhere. Apparently it's someone we don't know who is in charge of something but we don't know what it is, accountable but we don't know to whom, certainly not to us. We're only three months into a government that is falling apart.
