<p>White House Press Secretary <a href="http://www.dailywire.om/topic/Karine-Jean-Pierre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> claimed Friday that Republicans had put forth proposals that would cause more children to develop asthma and &#8220;literally melt bones.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre&#8217;s remarks, which she punctuated with a slide show during Friday&#8217;s press briefing, came in response to the ongoing battle over the debt ceiling. President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats have called for a &#8220;clean&#8221; debt ceiling increase, while House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) countered with an increase tied to some spending cuts and policy changes.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says House Republicans wants &quot;to fill our cities with smog,&quot; &quot;give asthma to&quot; kids, &quot;poison&#8230;children,&quot; &amp; allow &quot;oil co,mpanies to use toxic chemicals that cause severe burns, damage people&#39;s eyes, and quite literally melt bones.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/Zjux2GR1qh">pic.twitter.com/Zjux2GR1qh</a></p>

<p>&#8220;The president&#8217;s bold climate and environmental justice agenda could not stand in starker contrast to the dangerous proposals MAGA House Republicans are putting forward,&#8221; Jean-Pierre began, and then drew everyone&#8217;s attention to the slide displayed on the screen behind her.</p>
<p>&#8220;While President Biden is fighting to clean up toxic pollution and lower costs through clean energy tax credit, Speaker McCarthy unveiled a ransom note holding our economy hostage,&#8221; Jean-Pierre asserted. &#8220;It&#8217;s a 320-page plan to kill jobs, fill our cities with smog, and give asthma to our children.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre went on to say that McCarthy&#8217;s conditions included the rollback of climate initiatives that had been added to the Inflation Reduction Act, and she warned that the consequences of abandoning those policies would create a situation that was even more dire.</p>
<p>&#8220;It would make it easier for oil companies to use toxic chemicals that cause severe burns, damage people&#8217;s eyes, and quite literally melt bones,&#8221; she added, pausing there for added emphasis.</p>
<p>She predicted that cities would once again &#8220;fill with heavy smog&#8221; as the Clean Air Act was weakened, adding that it would &#8220;dirty our air and poison the lungs of our children.&#8221;</p>

<p>Jean-Pierre concluded by saying that Biden would never stand for such proposals, claiming again that they would necessarily bring about a &#8220;climate and health disaster.&#8221;</p>
<p>The press secretary&#8217;s remarks come as several House Democrats <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/20/house-dems-biden-mccarthy-debt-00093093" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have urged</a> President Biden to at least meet with Speaker McCarthy, worrying that the American people will see his failure to do so as a failure to do whatever is needed to prevent default in the near term.</p>
<p>McCarthy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-mccarthy-unveils-plan-to-responsibly-raise-debt-limit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposal</a>, if the conditions are met, would increase the debt ceiling and postpone the debate on further adjustments for at least a year. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said the Republican counter-offer would be dead-on-arrival in the Senate.</p>
