Bungle an evacuation. No problem.
“I understand you didn’t do anything. But, I’m still going to punish you for the thing that you didn’t do. Because I just can’t tolerate the idea of these things that didn’t happen. I hope you learn from this.”
NYT - "All the news that is fit to exploit for political purposes"
It’s that interstice between “damage done” and “avoid the lawsuits”. Media play this game all the time.
Leave hundreds of Americans behind in Afghanistan to fend for themselves, hide in caves, forage for food and eventually be beheaded, no problem.
Biden operates according to his presumption of guilt.
“Agents may still face discipline from Biden admin...”
...for being taller than the illegal aliens.
No, the Times has not seen ANY evidence that migrants were stuck with reins. Which, by the way, are not whips, or even "straps."
Motto of the New York Times: Print any lie that advances the agenda.
“The administration will punish border agents for not whipping blacks. This is reminiscent of the post civil war lack of whipping of blacks by southern republicans and will no longer be tolerated.”
If Biden is stupid enough to pursue this, what do the members of the Border Patrol have left, other than mass resignation? Could be that such an outcome is exactly what Biden and the pro anarchy Leftists want to happen. This won’t get any better, and will plague Biden and the Democrats indefinitely.
Unless of course Biden starts a World War.
“There will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences. There will be consequences.”
Biden: “We will discipline you for being photographed in a way which uninformed people like me might have construed as whipping illegal immigrants.”
Fox’s Greg Gutfeld nailed it, that the cunning Left seemingly ignored the Haitian invasion.
While our outrage was palpable, wily Lefties were lying in wait——like common criminals——til they had an angle they liked.
They jumped in headfirst———so they could flaunt their phony “tolerance and compassion” -——— at falsified reports that invaders were being (gasp) “whipped”.
Waiting for a Joe Welch moment here that will never happen with Mr Biden!
For those who were never taught, the LEFT has, for my entire lifetime, used the bludgeon of the 1954 'Army-McCarthy Hearings' to besmirch Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI), and the rest of the anti-Communists over the decades, for an excessive use of power, especially against the 'little guy'! This pushback centers on the famous retort by the US Army's lawyer, Joseph N. Welch, to Senator McCarthy upon the Senator losing an accusation of Communist influence against another staffer; “I beg your pardon. Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” [See final paragraph for context of this!]
This "cry from the heart" (cri de coeur) has become a touchstone for the LEFT against its opposition in almost every battle! As recently as this past July, President Biden advocating for the Federalizing of election criteria and control, said the following; "We'll be asking my Republican friends in Congress and states and cities and counties to stand up for God's sake, and help prevent this concerted effort to undermine our election and the sacred right to vote," Biden said. "Have you no shame?" [Sound familiar?]
So ... NOW we have a massively misinterpreted photograph that the same President, Joe Biden, has had ample opportunity to retract SHAMEFUL castigations against CBP Agents using tactics of horsemanship. Yet he has, to date, let those comments stand, the threats of punishment stand AND he has yet to visit the disaster his policies have created on that border!

It was not until the fall of the Soviet Union and the revelation of the "Venona Project" ~40 years later that it was revealed that Soviet infiltration, aka "Agents of Influence", was sufficient that the intelligence decrypts were not passed to superiors for fear they were the people that were Soviet Agents.
NY Slimes: Try printing the TRUTH occasionally and you won’t have to correct the lies you’re spreading.
They shouldn’t face discipline from the Biden administration. They should be facing an apology from the Biden administration.
Discipline for what? For using fast moving and sure-footed horses, so that the officers in full kit in 100 degree weather didn’t have to chase idiots determined to get over or around them ?
the border isn’t a game of dodgeball
