Another Wrong WP FactCheck and Harris/Biden Lie

Jean-Pierre flatly denied that FEMA resources were going to migrants in a press conference last week, but she stated the opposite when asked about the issue in the fall of 2022.

"Former President Trump is accusing the Biden administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants. How is the White House responding to that?" a reporter asked during a Friday press conference.

"I mean, it’s just categorically false. It is not true. It is a false statement," Jean-Pierre responded, going on to cite a Washington Post fact-check article on the subject.

Social media critics then compared her statement to comments made in 2022, where she explicitly stated that FEMA resources were available to illegal immigrants.

She made the statement during a Sept. 16, 2022, press conference when Jean-Pierre was asked about assisting cities in handling the busloads of migrants being sent across the country from Texas.

"FEMA Regional Administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate — to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies," Jean-Pierre told reporters at the time.

"Funding is also available through FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter program t
o eligible local governments and not-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants," she added.
