Psaki: Let's Avoid 'Labels' About This Border Non-Crisis -- And Talk to DHS Because It's Not 'Our Program'

First off, I'm amused by the lame 'no labels' deflection from the White House Press Secretary, who continues to avoid using the word crisis to describe what's brewing at the Southern border.  She can continue with her tortured spin about how it's a "challenge" or whatever, but the rest of us must face facts.  It's a crisis.  Obviously.  The number of illegal migrant children in detention has tripled in the last two weeks, with projections over the next several months looking far worse.  They're running out of bed space for these kids.  Just read my post from yesterday and try to argue with a straight face that there is no crisis.  I called out the Biden administration's break from reality on Fox yesterday:

And yet, here we are:

When asked if there’s a border crisis, Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki says “I don’t think we need…labels” https://t.co/yhUbzHTI27 pic.twitter.com/jUOI0ZCd5w

That quote got some buzz, but this exchange was worse because of the shameless attempted buck-passing:

.@PressSec: "Those numbers are tracked by the Department of Homeland Security. I'm just suggesting that you talk to them..."

Q: "We talked to them, Jen. They won't confirm the numbers."

Psaki: "I would encourage you to go back to them & ask them again...It's not our program." pic.twitter.com/gXmEcWV5fI

I can see why these clowns don't want to talk about the border. Whats happening right now might knock the Biden admin out in the first round.

It couldn't be more clear we went from totally under control to totally out of control in seven weeks.

We don't need labels to convey the reality of what's happening, we need obfuscation and denials.  There is plenty of denial fools to aid and abet destruction of them and our system.  Yes, i understand Psaki all too well.
