Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki why President Joe Biden’s child detention facilities are operating at full capacity, but many school districts in America are now.
Psaki said Doocy is comparing apples to oranges and that many school districts in the country are fully open.
The White House dodged the question, saying that school districts need money to reopen which they will be in the latest stimulus package.
