Democrat El Paso mayor LIES, denies he was pressured by Biden regime to avoid declaring migrant crisis an emergency

For the Biden regime, the suffering of the American people simply doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters to this desperately corrupt gang of socialist internationalists is increasingly their own power. So they pressured Oscar Leeser, the mayor of El Paso, not to declare a state of emergency over the open Southern border. Did they do this because there is no emergency? No. There is very much an emergency. They did this because they don’t want the American public to discover just how bad the situation at the border really is. And the mayor, being a good Democrat and a company man, then proceeded to lie about the pressure he was getting from the White House. There is no honesty on the left, anywhere.

Earlier on Fox News Wednesday, El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser denied Rodriguez’s allegation that he was pressured by the White House to avoid declaring the migrant influx an emergency in the city, insisting he made the decision himself.

“Absolutely not,” Leeser told host Dana Perino. “One of the things we need to learn and really make sure we do is that we take the politics out of this.”

Video footage from a September city council meeting, however, appears to show otherwise.

“The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Chief Ortiz, he does not support declaring a state of emergency at this point,” Leeser said during the Sept. 27 meeting. “And the White House has asked at this point for us not to do that.”

Rodriguez said she was floored by the mayor’s contradictory statements.

She explained on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Wednesday night that the council is meant to be a nonpartisan entity.

“As much as the mayor wants to say this is not a political issue, yeah, those comments would probably say otherwise,” she said Wednesday.

She said it was “crazy” to hear the mayor deny her allegations that there was pressure from the White House….
