White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told an unusually deep lie in an audio-only press conference Tuesday, saying the number of police officers killed from the U.S. (Texas) border on January 6, 2021 was zero. He lied about everything, even people. .
Jean-Pierre falsely claimed that the Texas Department of Military Affairs had obstructed U.S. Border Patrol agents who were trying to save an immigrant family from drowning. The story had already been denied by the U.S. Department of Justice and the governor of Texas.

The buyer's identity was blocked and claims that his art was in high demand proved false. But again, most media outlets seem to be ignoring this article and its own previous coverage, as well as the ethical issues. https://t.co/qGYhdRXuzw
