From Fox News: White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got into a heated exchange with Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy over the White House sending aid to Lebanon during the hurricane season, which has had devastating effects on North Carolina.
Harris pledged Saturday to send $157 million of “additional assistance” to Lebanon while Israel attacks Hezbollah infrastructure and targets in the country. Harris argued the country was “facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.” Doocy asked Jean-Pierre why the Biden administration was soliciting congressional input before sending disaster loan funds to North Carolina, but not to send the slush funds to a foreign country.
“On this issue of funding, the administration has money to send to Lebanon without Congress coming back. But Congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in North Carolina. Do I have that right?” Doocy said.
“The president and the vice president has had a robust whole-of-government response to this… More than $200 million, …for the disaster help,” Jean-Pierre responded, adding that “people want to do disinformation, misinformation, which is dangerous.”
When Doocy pushed back, Jean-Pierre game unglued, and declared, “Your whole premise of the question is misinformation, Sir!”
“I just mentioned to you that we provided more than $200 million to folks who are impacted in the area,” she added.
The back-and-forth grilling got heated, fiery and explosive, and ended up with Jean-Pierre storming out in a huff.
