Karine Jean-Pierre claims FEMA does not fund illegal immigrants, but 2022 receipts prove she's lying | 9 Oct 2024 | In a recent press conference, White House Press Secretary Jean-Pierre was questioned about Biden's use of FEMA funds to support "undocumented migrants." "Former president Trump is accusing the Biden administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants. How is the White House responding?" one reporter asked. "It's just categorically false," Jean-Pierre retorted, before adding that Trump is actually the one who used FEMA funds to support immigrants. Dave Rubin, however, is throwing the flag and pulling receipts. He plays a video from 2022 during which Jean-Pierre standing at the same podium admits that FEMA funds are indeed being used for illegal immigrants. "FEMA regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on-site to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and not-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants," Jean-Pierre said. "In '22, yes, FEMA resources were being moved to help with illegal immigrants, and just days ago, she's saying it didn't happen," said Dave.
