WELKER: We should note that FEMA funds were actually redirected on Donald Trump's watch to deal with the migrant issue. Let me ask you, you mentioned the medical records, should Trump...

I want to stop there because while Johnson fact-checks her, the bigger issue here is the framing. To these journalists, the illegal immigration issue is just a talking point. Context does not matter, which is why Welker thinks she has a gotcha moment. It's not, though. As Johnson points out, the fund in question is created and appropriated every fiscal year.

That means that what has been spent under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is their responsibility. The amounts also matter. For example, under Trump, the EFSP-H was only given $30 million. In Biden's first year, the number was $150 million. //

In Johnson's segment with Kirsten Welker on "Meet the Press," Welker decided to insert the lie that the monies FEMA diverted from disaster preparedness and relief into "migrant resettlement" started under Donald Trump's administration. Johnson quickly divested this, and pointed out that the funding was not needed because Trump had secured the border. It was Biden-Harris who signed 92 executive orders to remove the proven border policies Trump had in place. The look on Welker's face alone is worth the watch.
