The White House 'crisis' crisis

President Biden's White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, made news this week when she tried to explain that her boss, when he referred to the "Crisis" on the border, did not actually mean there is a "Crisis" on the border.

It started when a reporter said to Psaki, "President Biden, over the weekend, called what's happened at the border a 'crisis.' Is that now the official White House position, that there is indeed a crisis at the border?".

Of course that was not what Biden said when he referred to "The crisis that ended up on the border with young people." He meant the crisis on the border.

Psaki's explanation served to emphasize how deeply determined the Biden White House is to deny that there is a crisis on the border.

The reason is that the border crisis is a crisis of Biden's own making.

Then there was the "Crisis in Central America." Last Friday, she declared gun violence "a public health crisis." On Thursday, she discussed "The child care crisis created by COVID-19." Last Tuesday, she brought up the "Maternal health crisis." The week before, Psaki stood by while Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo declared "a crisis in semiconductor manufacturing." The week before that, Psaki was discussing a general "Public health crisis."

A few days before the inauguration, incoming White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Biden faced "Four overlapping and compounding crises." By that he meant "The COVID-19 crisis, the resulting economic crisis, the climate crisis, and a racial equity crisis."
