WaPo slaps Biden WH with 'three Pinocchios,' knocks 'spin' that House GOP voted to cut Border Patrol agents
Fox News
Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler took aim at the Biden White House for its repeated claim that House Republicans voted to "eliminate 2,000 Border Patrol agents."
"But there is a big problem with this number," Kessler wrote. "It’s not based on an actual vote on the Homeland Security budget. Instead, it’s a White House estimate on the impact of a bill the House passed in 2023 as an opening bid in budget talks with the Biden administration. When it came to an actual vote for border security, the House in September passed an appropriations bill that funded an additional 1,795 Border Patrol agents. That was four times the increase (350 agents) that President Biden had requested in his own 2024 budget proposal." Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital.

Kessler explained that the bill in question was the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which he described as "vague" legislation from House Republicans on what specifically would be cut from the spending bill and that Biden officials "saw the House bill’s vagueness as an opportunity to go on the attack."
