Reporter to KJP: ‘Why Are You Repeating This False Claim that Republicans Voted to Reduce the Number of Border Patrol Agents? The WaPo Gave the Administration Three Pinocchios’

Reporter: “Why are you repeating this false claim that Republicans voted to reduce the number of the Border Patrol agents even though The Washington Post gave the administration three Pinocchios for that?”
Jean-Pierre: “So, we don’t believe it’s a false claim. Our statements were very direct here. Last year, House GOP voted — voted — and not only did they vote for it, but they touted, they touted their Limit, Save, Grow Act. That’s the act — “
Reporter: “And they vowed that it would never affect Border Patrol.”
Jean-Pierre: “They voted for and touted it. This is an act and this would have forced the elimination of 2,000 Border Patrol agents. That’s what this act that they touted, that they voted for in the House. So, that was their proposal, and that was what they voted for back in May.”
