Karine Jean-Pierre blasted for response to record-border crossings: 'Lots of words. No solutions'

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was attacked on social media for her response to reports on record numbers of border encounters on Monday.

A reporter asked Jean-Pierre about the the report, which was originally released on Friday. Jean-Pierre responded by noting that many of these encounters are "driven by people who are fleeing falling regimes and economic collapse" and attacked Republicans for taking advantage of them.

"We're seeing, again, a different challenge ahead of us that we're dealing with. But, you know, and we've talked about this while we're trying to deal with the challenges, as you all know, you have Republican governors who are using these migrants, using these folks who are trying to flee communism, falling regimes and economic collapse. As I just mentioned, they're using them as a political pawn, which you've heard us call out many times from here, and you've heard the president call out. We are hard at work in driving toward a regional solution to manage this new challenge," Jean-Pierre answered.
