Karine Jean Pierre, White House Press secretary and the new “senior advisor” to President Obama had a meltdown on Monday when asked about funding for those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Fox’s Peter Doocy questioned how they could have $157 million to give Lebanon, without contacting Congress, and then say in the next breath that they would be out of money for hurricane relief in the future to help Americans.
KJP called this question “misinformation.”
Must watch TV as the Press Briefing leads to KJP storming out
Peter Doocy & KJP get heated over Biden sending money to Lebanon without Congressional approval but refusing to do so for North Carolina.

KJP attempted to silence his question by saying that misinformation is “dangerous.”
As Doocy noted, Biden “loves” to say, “Show Me Your Budget and I Will Tell You What You Value.”
He laughed at her absurd deflection.
Jean-Pierre admitted that they would need more funding after Helene because they did not know how bad Milton was going to be. Doocy stated that this is exactly the reason he asked the question regarding the use of the money. How can you claim that you need money or need to ask Congress for money when you immediately spend money on other things?
KJP was furious, saying that he may not have wanted money for disaster relief but Congress would have to provide it. She then stormed off.
Doocy now drops the receipts to Jean-Pierre and Kamala about “misinformation.” He points out that Kamala Harris posted about the $157,000,000 in aid to Lebanon.

As we reported, Secretary of State Antony Blinken also posted about the response to Lebanon’s ‘humanitarian crisis’.
What would you do if you were in the middle of a hurricane, or if you had family members who were? Why can’t this money be used for hurricane relief, if it could be used to help people in Lebanon? Why are you spending the money on Lebanon?
Doocy noted that Joe Biden had posted about the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program running out of funds too “if Congress does not return.”
Doocy said that to most people “a taxpayer’s dollar is just a taxpayer’s dollar.”
He declared, “That’s not misinformation.” “That’s a fact.”
Peter Doocy did a good job of following up with KJP after she refused to answer his questions about the Lebanon money or deal with this reality. He is doing what journalists should do — representing people and getting answers.
It’s taxpayer money, no matter what department or category it falls under. The public wants to know that the money is being spent on behalf of Americans. According to the FEMA website, money categorized as part of the FEMA Shelter and Services Program has been given to non-citizen migrants by NGOs. As we have reported, even if it is not classified as a “disaster fund”, the money is still being used for this purpose through FEMA. Liberal media have bought into the Biden/Harris spin and are not explaining the truth, but simply calling any questions “misinformation.”
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-SC, is now working to redirect these funds to disaster relief. Questions have been raised about the misappropriation by FEMA whistleblowers of funds.
They’d rather leave than answer the White House.
Elon Musk’s government efficiency changes and the former President Donald Trump’s victory can’t come soon enough.
