Karine Jean-Pierre: Trump’s Wall Is Not ‘Policy,’ ‘It’s Just Hateful Rhetoric’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TUR: "Could happen. Over border security. The wall is a part of border security. Could there be a shutdown? It could and it will be about border security of which the wall is part. Is the president going to get his wall or a government shutdown or will he get neither?"
JEAN-PIERRE: "The wall. The beautiful wall. The president, as you know, has the house, has the Senate and clearly the White House. They want to shutdown the government over a wall. Let’s not forget that he promised the American people that Mexico would pay for. The wall is not even policy. It’s hateful rhetoric. It’s not going to work. On his last ditch effort when the house will go democratic, he wants to double down on this hateful rhetoric. This is what he does. Any time he feels like his back is to the wall he doubles down on immigration. We saw that with the caravan which he lied about. It’s not true. He sent out 5,000 troops to the border away from their family and Thanksgiving. Many are serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is all pabt politics for him."
