Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) pulled no punches in attacking both White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Vice President Kamala Harris during an interview on Fox Business Network on Thursday.

Host Maria Bartiromo reported on a New York City school being closed to students in order to house migrants and played Nehls a clip of Fox’s Peter Doocy asking Jean-Pierre about it.

“First, a whole high school in New York is having remote classes today because the building was needed to house people who came into this country illegally. So what is the president’s priority in this case? If a working parent had to call out to stay home with their kid today, isn’t this Biden immigration policy literally taking money out of people’s pockets?” Doocy asked in the clip from Wednesday.

“So that is something that New York City needs two answers to. That is a that is a process that they took. So they have to answer to that. And as it relates to migrants and what’s happening at the border, look, the president has taken this issue very seriously,” Jean-Pierre replied.

“Yeah. Congressman, your thoughts?” Bartiromo asked.

“I can’t listen to that nutjob. I can’t believe anything she says,” Nehls replied as Bartiromo registered a stunned look.

“Listen, because Joe Biden puts the American people last. He puts us last. His priorities, his long-term goal and strategies are let as many people in this country as possible during his term, because eventually they’re going to do everything they can, the Democrats, to offer citizenship to everybody,” Nehls added, dabbling in the so-called “great replacement” conspiracy theory.

“And then it’s one-party rule forever. I highlight this in my new book, just released, Borderless by Design. It lays it out in detail exactly why this administration has put the American people last, allowing thousands of people, millions of people into our southern border. It’s a long-term goal and strategy. Eventually, citizenship, even though 10% of them can’t even get a legitimate asylum claim and eventually they’re all Democrat voters. It’s clear,” concluded the Texas Republican.

“What do you want Kamala Harris to do?” Bartiromo asked much later in the interview, still discussing immigration.

“Well, She’s not going to do anything. I think they just put her out there to make it look like she’s actually worth something. She isn’t worth anything,” Nehls replied, attacking Harris.

“They’ve kind of put her in the basement, if you haven’t noticed recently. Yeah, because I think she embarrasses herself and the American people, so they’ve kind of hid her,” he concluded.
