Some Twitter users claimed on Monday that Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, was dumbfounded by Peter Doocy of Fox News over the border situation.
Doocy questioned Jean-Pierre on the White House’s stance on foreigners entering the country without vaccinations at a press briefing. He used Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, who is not permitted to compete in the United States, as an example. open because he declined to receive the COVID-19 immunization.
Here @pdoocy asks why people can walk across the southern border without covid testing but anyone who flies in has to have the covid shot. KJP does not handle the question well, seems to not actually comprehend what happens at southern border. Enjoy: pic.twitter.com/yRz496WojI

As Doocy observed, thousands of immigrants are flooding the nation without documentation of their vaccination status or proof of immunization. The question was initially rejected by Jean-Pierre as being two separate things, but he persisted.
He questioned, “But so how is it two different things? Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane. You say that’s not OK. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated. They’re allowed to stay? Why?”
However, Jean-Pierre assured everyone that that’s not how things are going.
“That’s what’s happening,” Doocy reacted strongly. “I know that’s not what you guys want to happen. But that is what is happening. “
Jean-Pierre stumbled, “But that’s not like somebody walks over and-“
Doocy reiterated, “That’s exactly what’s happening.
Social media users criticized the press secretary for her repeated inaccuracies in answering questions and for giving false information regarding the border crisis.
What a pleasure Karine Jean-Pierre is. She never fails to amuse us with her insufficient preparation and awareness of the subjects, though perhaps not in a positive way. Even lying is not Karine’s strongest point. We may never have had a White House press secretary as incompetent in our nation’s history.
The truth is that Karine was a diverse hire, and it is evident every time she speaks. Whatever you may think of Peppermint Psaki, at least she was a skilled liar who had her lies ready. Karine Jean-Pierre stutters and babbles as if you surprised her, which Peter Doocy definitely does every day.
The only journalist prepared to ask the tough questions, for Karine, the majority of questions—is Fox News’ Peter Doocy, who is a complete nasty. On Tuesday, Doocy puzzled Jean-Pierre once more, this time over a border issue. It seems as though she is unaware of what is happening at the border! Why doesn’t she just contact Kamala Harris, the border czar?
After raising questions by asserting that immigrants are not “just walking in” throughout the southern border, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was criticized by National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd on Tuesday.
Later, Clay Travis corrected that by saying:
