Peter Docey And KJP Gets Into Heated Conversation

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy questioned White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday about Vice President Kamala Harris changing several of her policy positions.

During a Thursday interview with CNN, Harris stated that her “values have not changed” despite shifting some of her policy stances since her time in the U.S. Senate and during her 2020 presidential campaign.

In response, Jean-Pierre highlighted Harris’ accomplishments over the past three and a half years as vice president, praising her efforts in addressing economic issues and the border crisis.

“If the vice president’s values have not changed, why have so many of her positions on policies changed?” Doocy asked.

“I would say look at what the vice president has done with this president the last three-and-half years. Look what we’ve been able to do,” Jean-Pierre replied. “Look what we’ve been able to do at that border without much help from Republicans, because they’re too busy listening to our former president sadly, and telling them not to actually do the things that the majority of Americans want to see them doing, and that being dealing with the challenges at the border. They listen to Donald Trump instead of continuing to work with us in a bipartisan way.”

Doocy followed up by asking “how much ownership” Vice President Kamala Harris has for illegal immigrants, comprising approximately 75% of arrests in Midtown Manhattan. In response, Jean-Pierre stated that the administration supports the apprehension and removal of migrants who “pose a national security risk.”

In March 2021, Biden put Harris in charge of addressing the “root causes” of the southern border crisis, focusing on Northern Triangle countries and Mexico.

However, Harris has only visited the border once, on June 25, 2021, and reportedly never met with former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott during her time as the “border czar.” Since then, Harris has campaigned as a tough-on-the-border candidate, advocating for hiring more Border Patrol agents to combat illegal immigration
