“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade ripped White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over her response to a question on the border, calling her answer “worthless.”
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Jean-Pierre on the situation at the border on Thursday following a surge of illegal migrant arrivals, including a group of over 2,000 who entered the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas, on Monday.
Jean-Pierre appeared to blame Republicans for the current situation before shouting down Doocy.
“The president has worked very hard to implement a strategy when it comes to the border that is humane, safe and has orderly enforcement,” Jean-Pierre had said earlier.
“As a viewer and a watcher and someone who cares about the country, not one word of hers that she said was correct. There is no blame that belongs with anyone except this administration,” Kilmeade told “America Reports” co-host John Roberts.

They filled up New York City with 84,000 illegal immigrants, they refused to provide money or resources or information to a Democratic mayor and governor.”
“They are the ones who just have no interest, including a vice president that was supposed to be in charge that won’t even give it lip service, a president that went once for a couple hours,” Kilmeade continued.
“John, that was the most worthless series of sentences I could imagine hearing.”
