Pelosi’s flawed claim that Biden did better than Trump on the border
Story by Glenn Kessler • 1h


Pelosi’s flawed claim that Biden did better than Trump on the border
 
“I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump.”

— Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in an interview with the New York Times, Nov. 9

In a post-election interview, Pelosi made this point when the interviewer challenged her on the impact of the surge of migrants across the southern border. Pelosi criticized Trump for saying the undocumented immigrants were criminals, saying “they weren’t, they weren’t.” The interviewer shot back that “people felt quite strongly that they didn’t want to see immigrants sleeping in police stations, at airports.”
 
“I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump,” Pelosi responded. “It’s clarity of the message, and if that’s what Bernie’s talking about, and that’s what Joe Manchin’s talking about, we weren’t clear in our message as to what things are, then I agree with that.”

But Pelosi’s line was as clear as mud. It’s a documented fact that at least four times as many migrants entered the United States under Biden than under Trump.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

She must be correct since I know she would never lie to gain some political advantage. *****rollingeyes*****

The only Illegals that Nancy has ever seen are the ones cleaning her floors and toilets.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
