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!"

I’m pretty sure I’m OK with it. 😐
Bwahahaha! It is obvious neither Pstupid Psaki or anyone at NBC has been doing much riding-looks like reins to me-since the BP guy is outfitted for riding in rough country, it could be a short lariat, but it looks like reins-I saw some video of that online earlier at work-and the way the rider held that supposed “whip” with his hand-the contractor I work with said “reins”, too-but if it is a lariat and he’s gonna rope a mojado to get him back over the river, that’s okay...
I realize that the snowflakes in the White House are more used to unicorns that don’t need halters and bits and headstalls and reins, but, in the real world, those are called reins and they are used to both guide and signal to the horse, which is not a unicorn.
idiots the white house is full of ignorant idiots...I guess they never rode a horse or watched cowboy movies.

quick video of the mounted BP:
Border Patrol calling in the cavalry, literally, at the international bridge here in Del Rio. Mounted units heading to the river’s edge

LOL good one!
Not ignorant idiots ... propagandists ...
Jen kinda looks like the kind of girl who might have some whips stored away at home.
Already been disproven... All that bitch needed to do is watch the videos.
In this case, wouldn’t it be plainly on the mane?
Glad you’re a good sport!
Go ahead, you gave my permission to call me grammar police.
Unpleasant, but non-lethal...Would she have prefered a gun?
You know the answer to that.
How the HELL did 20,000 Haitians and Cubans wind up on our border? They probably have an annual income of $500. There is NO WAY they can afford an airplane ticket and they weren’t brought here on a flotilla of small boats. Did Soros & Co. buy them all tickets? Did Biden send them tickets?
There’s a backstory here that is not being investigate and it cries out for investigation.
That image doesn’t bother me in the least. They should reactivate the cavalry.
I don’t remember playing cowboys and Haitians as a kid.
HAHA! After I saw the video of the mounted Border Patrol vs mojados, that tune “Rawhide” was stuck in my head for a few hours...
Thanks for the link to that article. It also does not say how tens of thousands of Haitians and Cubans managed to find their way to Central America and Southern Mexico. It discusses how the Mexican government moved them north to the US border.
So just how did they get to Central America and Mexico?
Trump had such a good working relationship with Andrés Manuel López Obrador and now the US / Mexico relationship has turned to sh!t, just like everything else Biden touches.
“Oh, whip me again, you big mean cowboy! Oh, that hurts so good!”
