WATCH: Fox’s Doocy Confronts Karine Jean-Pierre Over Biden Finishing Trump’s ‘Racist’ Border Wall    BY RUSTY WEISS AUGUST 1, 2022 

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy confronted Biden Press SecretaryKarine Jean-Pierre over reports that the Biden administration is building sections of the border wall – asking, “Is this racist?”

The Department of Homeland Security issued a press release last week announcing that they would be closing gaps in the wall near Yuma, Arizona.

NBC News described it as the administration having “authorized completion of the Trump-funded U.S.-Mexico border wall” in that locale.

Jean-Pierre, in 2019, described the wall as “racist,” urging protesters to “take to the streets” as then-President Trump was trying to use emergency funds to pay for it.

Peter Doocy and Karine Jean-Pierre Get in Tense Debate

Karine Jean-Pierre argued with Peter Doocy over the basis of the border wall report, suggesting the administration wasn’t “finishing” the wall but rather, simply cleaning up what Trump left behind.

Doocy pointed out that Biden had vowed not to build another foot of the border wall to which Jean-Pierre countered, “We are not finishing the wall.”

“If walls work in that part of Arizona — is this the administration trying to get migrants to cross somewhere else, like in Texas? What is the plan?” the Fox News reporter continued.

“We are not finishing a wall. We are cleaning up the mess that the prior administration made. We are trying to save lives,” Jean-Pierre fired back. “This is what is this is what the prior administration left behind that we are now cleaning up.”
