In a desperate attempt to avoid questioning about the worsening humanitarian crisis at the Southern border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that it is President Trump's fault that thousands of children are sleeping on concrete floored cages without seeing the Sun for days.
As previously reported by CBS News, just under one month ago there were only NINE children being held in Border Patrol facilities, yet now there are over 4000.
PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor asked Psaki to explain what on earth is going on.
"There were lawyers who interviewed some children that were in facilities," Alcindor said, adding "The children described sleeping on the floor, being hungry, not seeing the sun for days."
She continued "How is that acceptable for the Biden administration to keep children in those sorts of conditions, given the fact that you said you were an administration that was going to be more humane than the previous one?".
Psaki immediately blamed President Trump, stating "We are trying to work through what was a dismantled and unprepared system because of the role of the last administration."
Alcindor continued to ask for an explanation, stating "Children being hungry, sleeping on the floor, not being allowed outside for days at a time, why is that acceptable to go on, even for one more day? Why is that something that's not being outlawed right now? How is the administration not stopping that today?".
