The Biden administration lashed out at Texas Governor Greg Abbott on the day that the first busload of migrants was dropped off in the nation’s capital, blaming him for the rampant inflation that is eating away at American budgets with no relief in sight.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who is counting down the days before she departs for her new career as a cable television pundit, issued a statement accusing Abbott’s inspections of trucks crossing the border of contributing to inflation and supply chain issues, both of which have existed for months, long before the Lone Star State governor issued his order for the “enhanced safety inspections” in advance of the lifting of Title 42 next month.

In a sign that the “Putin price hike” talking point could be failing to convince voters that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is wholly responsible for record inflation, especially gas prices, Psaki issued a statement on Wednesday slamming Abbott.

“Governor Abbott’s unnecessary and redundant inspections of trucks transiting ports of entry between Texas and Mexico are causing significant disruptions to the food and automobile supply chains, delaying manufacturing, impacting jobs, and raising prices for families in Texas and across the country,” wrote Psaki.

“Local businesses and trade associations are calling on Governor Abbott to reverse this decision because trucks are facing lengthy delays exceeding 5 hours at some border crossings and commercial traffic has dropped by as much as 60 percent,” the statement said. “The continuous flow of legitimate trade and travel and CBP’s ability to do its job should not be obstructed. Governor Abbott’s actions are impacting people’s jobs, and the livelihoods of hardworking American families.”

In his order that was issued last week, Abbott wrote, “As you have explained, the cartels that smuggle illicit contraband and people across our southern border do not care about the condition of the vehicles they send into Texas any more than they care who overdoses from the deadly fentanyl on board. In response to this threat, which is projected to grow in the coming months, I hereby direct the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to conduct enhanced safety inspections of vehicles as they cross international ports of entry into Texas.”

Also, on Wednesday, Gov. Abbott made good on his promise to relocate busloads of illegal immigrants from his state which is swamped with them to Washington D.C. where the city’s part-time political residents have been their biggest advocates.

The outgoing snark queen was in rare form during Wednesday’s press briefing, doubling down on pointing the finger of blame for what many have dubbed “Bidenflation” on the Texas Republican and also addressing the first of his special deliveries to “the swamp,” something that she had mocked as a political gimmick after it was announced by Abbott last week.

Asked by a reporter for comment on the new arrivals and whether she still believed that it was a “publicity stunt” Psaki served up the sarcasm.

“Well, these are all migrants who have been processed by CBP and are free to travel so it’s nice the state of Texas is helping them get to their final destination as they await in their outcome for their immigration proceedings and they’re all in immigration proceedings,” Psaki said.

Twitter reacted to Psaki’s latest effort to shift the responsibility for the worst inflation in four decades away from her boss and the disastrous effects of his far-left policies.

Psaki’s blame-shifting and excuse-making have clearly become tiresome to those who are capable of critical thinking, but she’ll fit right in at MSNBC.

  1. I’m going to enjoy laughing when one off these illegal thugs gives the big chorizo to Psaki

  2. Psaki is so misinformed, uninformed or downright stupid she belongs on the View with the rest of the big-mouthed, empty-headed, idiots!

  3. Somebody,; maybe Mr Doocy, should ask miss pissaki if she is happy to be leaving the white house and joining a news team so she doesnt have to lie anymore! Oops my bad, she will have to lie some more.😉

  4. Shes one of the stupidest WH press snorklers ever. No one takes her seriously folks.

  6. Somebody has to ensure drugs are not entering the country by semi trailer loads and she has cojones to blame Texas for inflation. Did she blame him for gas prices too?

  7. It must be true. But which truth. According to her inflation is caused by Putin or by people just buying to much of by Abbott or by the gas companies or by covid or…well it appears the reason for inflation keeps growing and growing as fast as her pinnocio nose. How far we’ve come from Harry Truman looking a man in the eye and saying ” the buck stops here”, now with a dope in office and a dupe supporting him.

  8. We do not like an invasion of criminal illegal aliens, including murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug and human traffickers, terrorists, MS-13 and disease carriers.

  9. Next step – Governor Abbot joins with Donald Trump causing hurricane season changes. Biden says he can’t do anything about it as long as the terrorist leaders remain in charge.

  10. I can’t wait to see this bimbo go. She assumes Americans are all as dumb as she is. How insulting.

  11. Ha ha ha. Just when you thought their lies and blame game couldn’t stoop any lower. I don’t see how even the dumbest most gullible Americans could fall for this one. But, then again, not much it shocking with these democrats these days. If the Biden admin was doing their job and protecting our sovereignty, then Texas wouldn’t have to inspect these trucks for illegal contraband. So, I guess this proves that the Biden admin wants uninspected trucks to be allowed through regardless of what might be getting smuggled in. This presidency is a disaster but, then again, we all already knew that.

  12. Absurd on Psaki part – how anyone could believe this bimbo is beyond me. Additionally, how can in governor cause this inflation- which is it Osaki? Covid, Afghanistan, Russia,……..Gov Abbott, Come on man! Get ur schitt straight. Changes with each disaster – wish every state is like TX – ship them all to Washington and Delaware and give them tents to camp out on Biden home property- hear it is pretty big!

  13. Abbott ought to have shirts made up for them that says “I’m here because Biden sent for me” !

  14. Are they searching for avocados, rice, beans, corn, or maybe stowaways and fentanyl? Pep Patty almost dumb enough to have her own show on msnbc, she keeps working on it, maybe she wants coffee boy or mad cows time spots.

  15. And then Psaki lectured…”I don’t care if illegals are getting in with fentanyl laced drugs, trafficking minors, cartels making millions..none of that is important”. “What’s important is that you buy my line of bbullshiit so we can improve Joe’s polls and not let the democrats get decimated in November”.

    1. Oh, and let us not forget guns, explosives, etc by the terrorist elements that would be seizing the opportunity if they knew trucks could pass freely over the border without any concern for being caught. These people are beyond belief.

  16. These people truly believe that the general public are IDIOTS! They’re ALL INSANE and the Regime HAS to lose control of the Congress and the Senate in November and then the election in 2024. We can make this LUNATIC that calls himself “president” a Total LAME DUCK in November !

    1. Sadly, some of the general public are IDIOTS. Here in Texas, we call them Beto supporters.

  17. The Biden administration, especially the Biden mouthpiece Psaki, are really going over board trying to blame everyone for our despicable situation except the real culprit; the Biden administration. I can’t wait to see how their mess impacts the midterms!!

  18. Everything that is being done to Americans from day one is because of this WH, Dems, and this administration. So, Psaki, shut up and sit down. Facts are facts, and none of you live by facts, you live by lies. I hope the other 899 charter buses go to DC! This administration and Dems have violated their oath to our country and to the people.
