After a CNN town hall on Thursday night in which President Joe Biden said that he had been to the US-Mexico border, Fox News asked the White House why he said it when it wasn’t true.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the President had visited the border back in 2008, when he was on the campaign trail for Barack Obama.
“Why did President Biden say he has been to the border?” Doocy asked.
“Well, Peter,” Psaki replied, “as you may have seen, there’s been reporting that he did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008. And he is certainly familiar with the fact, and it stuck with him, with the fact that in El Paso the border goes right through the center of town.”
