Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre was asked for reaction to a massive illegal alien mob rioting on the border in El Paso yesterday. In typical fashion, she had a hard time grappling with the situation and quickly pivoted back to blaming Republican Governor Greg Abbott for the chaos.
Unbelievable: Karine Jean-Pierre blames Texas Governor Greg Abbott for disastrous state of the border.

It's pretty remarkable the spokesperson for the President of the United States has little to say about a blatant violation of sovereignty.
This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today

Governor Abbott had a very different response.

The TX National Guard & Dept. of Public Safety quickly regained control & are redoubling the razor wire barriers.
DPS is instructed to arrest every illegal immigrant involved for criminal trespass & destruction of property.
