White House National Security Communications director John Kirby refused Monday to provide an explanation as to why Joe Biden has never spoken to the former or current heads of the Border Patrol until last week.
During a Fox News interview, anchor Martha MacCallum repeatedly asked Kirby to address comments by former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz who recently slammed Biden, claiming he never even picked up the phone to speak to Ortiz in the two years he was overseeing 21,000 agents.
“How is that possible?” MacCallum asked, to which Kirby responded that Biden is “engaged” with all border agents involved with the Department of Homeland Security.
Kirby attempted to shift the conversation to blaming Republicans for the border crisis before MacCallum steered him back to the topic at hand.
The host noted that Biden only spoke with the current Chief of Border Patrol, Jason Owens, for the first time on Thursday, noting “From what we can find out they have never spoken before that. How is that possible?”
“The president’s engaged with DHS, he’s engaged with leadership there —” Kirby again stated.
“But why not the Border Patrol?” MacCallum interjected.
“He’s engaged with the Border Patrol, Martha, he was just down there in Brownsville meeting and talking with those folks directly and hearing about the situation on the ground,” Kirby again said, as if he didn’t understand the question.
“But he never met with the former or current chief. The current chief he just met, he’s been president for three years, [he] just met him the other day,” MacCallum pressed.
“He, again, is engaged with everybody in DHS, including Border Patrol, down there in Brownsville talking to them on the ground, hearing from them directly about what their concerns are,” Kirby claimed.

Incredible.
Kirby is acting completely dumb as if he doesn’t understand basic questions because there is absolutely no recourse for the inaction of the Biden administration on the border.
As we noted earlier the White House has now been forced to admit that thousands of illegal immigrants from foreign countries were directly flown into at least 43 different American airports from January through December 2023 in a secret effort to make the numbers crossing the border appear lower.
