White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday called pictures that appeared to show a U.S. Border Patrol agent on horseback with a whip to deter migrants "horrific," but declined to say what consequences there should be for the agent's actions.
"I have seen some of the footage. I don't have the full context. I can't imagine what context would make that appropriate, but I don't have additional details," she told reporters at the daily White House briefing. "I don't think anyone seeing that footage would think it's acceptable or appropriate."
A picture by photographer Paul Ratje showed the agent on horseback grabbing one of the migrants as the man tried to cross into the United States from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, on Sunday. The El Paso Times reported the agent had swung his whip and charged his horse at people trying to cross, shouting, "Let's go! Get out now! Back to Mexico!"

The left can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman so I don’t why this would suprise anyone. I just hope that the reins don’t identify as a whip because then we might have a problem.
Biden reigns. That agent doesn’t reign, but he does use reins, sometimes when it rains.
Bingo
I don’t have the full context
She look out the window and said we have no reins it’s sunny.
Media at it’s finest.
These invaders don’t belong here.
Horrific images are ones of Pelosi, the Hillabeast, or Moochelle.
Please, let us not misuse the word.
Horse tackle reins, no whip.
And that’s mainly on the plane.
Poor horse. He looks somewhat distressed. Sorta put out.
I hope he wasn’t put to too much trouble rounding up that Haitian fellow.
Looks more like a lasso to me. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s mandated as a non-lethal means of capture.
That moron liar Psaki has never been on a horse; she barely goes outside. What is her background other than WH ghoul and spirit-cooking?
They’re saying lariat, also. Maybe ‘stronger’ methods should be taken.
I think he ought to at least a sabre and a lance.
You touch my horse and you’re going to taste boot.
Even if it’s real - (it’s probably out of context) it’s outrageous that the pic is what they want to zero in on as being horrific. And she mentioned‘ possible consequences’.
What about the horrific conditions that has been taking place. Who and what are the consequences for the series of actions that lead to the 15k Haitians at the border.
It’s horrific that the Biden admin would not take calls from Law Enforcement and others seeking help.
I could go on and on about what is horrific and who should take responsibility and the consequences. This pic is certainly not on the list and it’s a distraction — ‘Look over here’. It’s the behavior of childish siblings.
But, they want to distract us with an image taken out of context. They did the same thing with that pic of Larry Elder with his hand on the woman’s face. He had hugged her. Not hit her.
People need to sue the media just as that HS boy did. I’m past fed up with this administration and the press/media.
Shows how out-of-touch I am. My first thought was not horror, it was YEEHAW!!!!
Jen Psak-puppet ain’t real bright.
Me either..they are entering illegally, you remove them by any means necessary
If it’s fake news that’s too bad. This is what we should be doing: driving these interlopers out.
And can the media stop calling them migrants? Even right-wing sources do that. They’re invaders.
