Wallace Says Biden’s Policies Less Transparent Than Trump
President Joe Biden’s administration is “less transparent” than the one that preceded them. Fox News' Chris Wallace called out White House press secretary Jen Psaki and criticized the White House’s media policies on the border crisis coverage. “At this point, in allowing access to border patrol facilities for reporters, you are being less transparent than the Trump administration,” Wallace said.

Less Transparent Than Trump
Despite a report that Biden Homeland Security officials prevented spokespersons and top agents to prevent them from speaking with the press, Psaki insisted they allowed the media full access. “The Trump administration was turning away kids at the border and sending them back on the treacherous journey, or they were ripping kids from the arms of their parents. We're not doing that. We are committed to allowing cameras into the border patrol facilities, absolutely,” Psaki said.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Psaki said safety was the main concern. “Just last week we had a pool camera providing footage to Fox News just last week into the shelters. We want to provide access to the Border Patrol facilities. We are mindful of the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic,” she said. Psaki said safety remains important. “We want to keep these kids safe. We are absolutely committed to transparency and providing access to media … and we're working to get that done as soon as we can,” she added.
Biden Doesn’t Know
Wallace begged to differ, noting that promising transparency and what’s actually happening are different. “The president and you have both been in pains over these first two months to talk about how to pledge that you’re going to be transparent with the American people. But here’s what he said in his news conference about allowing reporters in to see specifically the facilities that are being run by Customs and Border Patrol,” he told Psaki.
Then, Wallace pointed to remarks made by Biden during his press conference last week. The President said the media will have “full access to everything” after they get things moving. But, when asked when that will happen, Biden said he didn’t know.
Surge Numbers Are The Same
Meanwhile, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield sparred with ABC's Jonathan Karl on Sunday. Bedingfield told Karl that the surge of unaccompanied minors follows the pattern of previous surges experienced before. “What we see from the data is that these surges are cyclical, they're cyclical, they're not the result of one administration's policies or another administration's policies, the result of, for example, weather disasters in the region. They're the result of people fleeing poverty and violence,” Bedingfield said. She added that the surge currently happening is the same in 2019 when Trump was president.
However, Karl saw it differently. “There is something different here, and that is the unaccompanied minors, and we already have a record number of unaccompanied minors in U.S. custody. And in just a single day last week, there were 1,000 additional minors who were brought into U.S. custody coming across the border. The seasonal surge you're talking about is only just beginning. … This is not the same as it's been. This is worse, is it not?” Karl said. Bedingfield denied Karl’s assertion. “It is the same. These are the same kinds of surges that we've seen,” she said.
Title 42
Also, Bedingfield said that policy hasn’t changed. “It's also important to be clear that our policy hasn't changed. The vast majority of people who arrive at our border, we're turning away under Title 42, under a health code that requires us to or allows us to, turn people away in this period of Covid. So people should understand that the vast majority of people who show up at our border, we're turning away,” she continued.
Bedingfield added that the administration wants to address the root causes of such migration. This includes aligning with places like Boys & Girls Clubs in northern triangle countries that allow children a safe place to stay. Thursday, Biden appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to oversee the border crisis. “When she speaks, she speaks for me,” Biden said Thursday.

This Biden and rest of his evil party must be thrown out ASAP where are surprise court , Justice supposed to perfect us from this evil administration wake up America they been creating this for decades making money off destroying us watch tv it’s gone all black after that thug died can’t u see what’s going on Where’s Trump comeback
The older gang “ kids” are being sent over here most don’t live with parents anyway from 11 to 17 because the drug cartels know that the US bleeding heart groups won’t send most back and let them in the US then the cartels have another foot hold over here. Then their so called loving mommy and daddy will show up with 10 brother and sisters that ( none of there DNA will match ) then You͏r͏ bleeding heats will say o how special and loving we’ve got to let all of them in. Then our crime rate goes and we I don’t know what’s happening. It’s happened over and over and over again and again for at least 50 years I know of right here in west texas
It’s not just Biden it’s the whole damn swamp Mr President Trump was trying to get out in Washington dem city
Just my opinion if You don’t like what it says. Don’t read it and kiss where the sun don’t shine
This whole illegal crossing in to US is totally political, and is for the political party called Democrats. How the northern border is still closed going both ways?? All the Democraps want to do create a new party base for the next 100 years or so. They want to have socialized living and they want to control that style of living. When are the Americans finally going to wake up and see really see what is happening. Americans have been one of the most generous with our time , energy , and money without being forced to do it by our own government or by world opinion.How is it OK to allow people to come into our country without being tested — Oh that the democratic way start the illegals off being taken care of by the government and they never get off the welfare system.
Most of the comments above are 98% right on the money….. I see one thing that’s missing from their comments and that one is that our kids getting back to school many are in limboing because number one teachers union won’t let teachers teach …..though many of the teachers want to teach our kids are missing a whole bunch of education right now and I wonder who’s cacausing that problem
Ah, now I get it. That explains why we see the long caravans of disadvantaged children marching out of the fifth ward in New Orleans. Clive me a break.
Demoncrats will never be as transparent or truthful as President TRUMP
Biden is who’s puppet? He has so many people and organizations pulling his strings that its completely ridiculous. He promised so much bullshit to a lot of people and he has no clue what he’s doing. The transparency of his administration is totally lacking and has no merit or character. Trump told you exactly how he felt about different situations and did not veer from his course just to make some bureaucrats happy. Biden is hiding a lot. Only thing he is concerned about is keeping any minority vote he can get and shoving crazy bills thru congress and the house as fast as he can. He knows that he’s going to lose control of the house soon. The border is a crisis no matter how the white house tries to tell the story. When Trump was in office it was only a situation because everyone knew where he stood on the subject. With Biden it has become a full blown crisis because he invited all these people to come on in and now he back peddles. Grow a pair Joe and quit screwing around.
BIDEN AND HIS SWAMP NEEDS TO BE CLEAND OUT WHICH INCLUDES PELOSI,<<<<HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HER(PELOSI) DO SOMETHING FOR OUR COUNTRY (USA)? THAT IS A BIG NO.
BIDEN AND FAMILY ARE CRIMINALS, BIDEN SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO RUN
FOR RESIDENT."TRUMP" WILL STAY TO BE MY PRESIDEN AND NOT BIDEN AND HIS SWAMP!
THERE ARE MORE RATTLESNAKES IN THE WHITEHOUSE WHICH NEED TO BE WATCHED.
They haven’t a clue on how to fix the border, except the way Trump did and they wouldn’t let him have credit. We have got to get all these sick minded lunatics’ out of office.
Yeeah, and Trump didn’t have to deal with the Virus..(before the vaccine)? Of course old sleepy Joe gets the breaks from the stupid media. That will never change.
That’s the first honest thing Wallace the pretend conservative has said in a lomg time. Everyone knew this administratiin was going to be up ro jo good, and that the media would kod-glove them to death. Neither of them have no shame, how can they go on acting like they actually won the election? No self-respect or pride I guess.
Do you mean more transparent like the hunter biden laptop, and the hunter biden gun situation “lieing on his gun application”, in bed with china for $ and the mexico boarder crisis which joe clearly created? Well them, ya all will be waiting a very long time.
It’s all Democrates fault.
I am just a regular citizen. I don’t understand why the people in charge let the elites get away with what they are doing. Our country will never be decent again. I’m so ashamed of our country. Such evil people running everything. Joe is so pathetic. Why is he still in charge. Obviously he is not in charge, but who is and why are they not being arrested. I just don’t get it and I’m sure most Americans don’t get it either. The swamp is a good name for them. God help America. Arrest Soros.
The Biden administration is GasLighting the American public and the media is providing the coverup. It is sad that we can not trust media that is supposed to be a watchdog for the public but has become a lapdog for Government Buracreaucy. “No Crisis here to see, look Trump Tweeted”!!
Once again I would like to thank all the dumb asses that voted this piece of Sh** into office! The mere fact that in 47 years in DC without one, ONE! notable accomplishment should have been a GIANT!!!! RED FLag! There is a reason his congressional records were never made public, they were sealed so the voters would not be aware of his lack of accomplishments, ethics! How many politicians have you ever seen wear an ear bug so he could remember and be prompted on his speeches!! I’m surprised he’s not using one for press conferences!
The world order is also effected: Prior to his election the US was the country the world looked to for help and guidance in maintaining world peace. Now China and a few others are flexing their muscle looking to expand their influence in the world order and become the next world power. The country we used to be!! There’s a reason we’ve never been attacked!! GET IT!!!! I’m done with todays rant!!!!! PAY ATTENTION AMERICA!!!!!!
No one is being arrested for violating the law and disregarding the Constitution because the former top law enforcement agency in the world, the FBI, is and has been failing in its duties. The FBI is now a disgrace to all the law enforcement agencies in the U.S. including state, county, and municipal departments. Ever since Obummer, the FBI has folded like the mayors of Seattle, Portland, and Chicago. Even like the governors of California, New York and Illinois. The FBI is now looked upon as a pathetic joke of sycophantic bootlickers!
Reading the posting I wounder where some people get their information. I will agree that the likes like Cruz and his UN-American follows should be replaced.
FBI equals Federal Biden implants to search and destroy any White American who disagrees with the nazi administration. Not only that the FBI refuses to arrest, video, and interact with homeland terrorist groups such as BLM and Antifa. Americans will need to organize, plan and construct a strategic plan to take back America from Biden/Harris/Obama from the embers of many many many cities already in flames. Well-organized Militias are being formed as instructed for us to do from our forefathers. The constitution is being destroyed from within by this fascist tyrannical government.
What you see is a trojan horse being formed and the new “green” just means monthly payments from the socialists as what is done in all world order countries. Private businesses are being shuttered because of the phony pandemic to control the people. Corporations are spending their assets to support the agenda. Private industries will be forced to unionize because of irresponsible Union pension spending. The elites own the normal citizen. The news media, television, radio, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon for example are complicit in the movement. The Supreme Court denies denying deny legalities written in the law books, no action means complicity. Cuomo, Hunter Biden, Clintons, Schumer, Obama, Sharpton, Gov of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, California, Georgia, Illinois all should be in Gitmo. Destruction of the economy, letting in cartels, rapers and drug runners using children as mules for coke and meth is all a part of the take over of the United States. Mexico hates us now after stopping the insurgence, China will take Tawain and Japan, Russia will take the East Coast and the no-go zones from radical Muslims will take the central part of America. Korea will help where needed and are also retesting their missiles. The fascist government has seen our Achilles heel and is just waiting to light the US up like the 4th of July.
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP IS WHAT USA NEEDS ……………..!
