Jean-Pierre’s frustration boiled over as Doocy questioned the administration’s priorities, when the administration has just sent$ 157 million to Lebanon, yet the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) has reportedly run out of money unless Congress appropriates more.
” Libanese citizens are in a more severe philanthropic predicament. In a publish on X on Saturday night, Kamala Harris stated that she was concerned about the security and well-being of the suffering citizens it. She said,” I did continue working to help meet the needs of all citizens it.” ” To that end, the United States may provide nearly$ 157 million in additional help to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, waters, security, and sanitation to assist those who have been displaced by the current issue. With this additional help, Lebanon has received more than$ 385 million in total U.S. support over the past year.
Jean-Pierre was clearly unsure about this money as a result of Doocy’s probing of it.
What does it suggest about his beliefs if he’s got money for individuals in Lebanon right now without Congress having to come back? Doocy asked. ” There’s not enough money right now for people in North Carolina who need it” . ,

How could the presidency obtain funding for international aid without addressing pressing domestic requirements was clear? Jean-Pierre, rather than giving a clear solution, and looking absurd in a Zoot coat, accused Doocy of spreading harmful “misinformation”, which has become a regular fallback when the White House is trying to divert.
Your entire concept is propaganda, sir! he told Jean-Pierre. ” Yes! It’s misconceptions”!
” Which part”? he asked. Is there wealth available at this time to help it?”
Jean-Pierre insisted that there was money for disaster relief, claiming that the administration had provided “more than$ 200 million” to those impacted by storms. But Doocy pressed on, highlighting a deeper problem — there’s a looming gap. For disasters like Hurricane Milton, the Congress has n’t allocated sufficient money. Jean-Pierre resignedly admitting that more money may be required, but she held the pause on Congress accountable.
As the back-and-forth continued, Jean-Pierre had no strong answer, and, in common style, she abruptly ended the presentation.

She told him,” Why Congress needs to come up and do their job is what you’re asking for.” ” That’s what you’re asking me. The disaster relief fund needs to return and do their jobs with additional revenue and help. That’s what Congress needs to do, and we’re gonna continue to attempt that. You may not like that, but that’s ok. That’s what this leader wants and that’s what the sin president wants. Thanks everyone”.
