National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby swatted down Fox News nepo baby Peter Doocy’s attempts to use the tragic murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia to feed right-wing hysteria about border security during Tuesday’s White House press briefing.
Kirby sent condolences to the Garcia family before calling Doocy’s attention to the facts of the matter: The Republican Party has chosen political posturing over doing anything to improve security at the southern border.
“All that has to happen is for the speaker to do his job,” Kirby said emphatically. “Put that supplemental on the floor. Let’s get a vote. Let’s get those 1,300 additional Border Patrol agents down there to do their job.”
This led to an exchange reminiscent of Doocy’s frequent public embarrassments at the hands of former White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
