Border Patrol agents pushed back against the Biden administration following its criticism of their treatment of migrants
Photos and video Sunday appeared to show agents on horseback whipping Haitian migrants with reins at the Rio Grande river between Mexico and the US
But they insist they are just using the horses' reigns to control the animals, and not aiming to harm any of the migrants Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters Tuesday she was 'deeply troubled' by the 'horrible' images
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki condemned the actions as 'horrific'
One agent said the outrage shows officials lack 'basic knowledge' of handling horses and 'proves what absolute idiots they are'
Another accused Harris of 'placing blame on agents to deflect because she and Biden are not going to change how they are handling this'
And in another interview, National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto insisted the agents were using approved techniques
He claimed they were not whipping anyone.
Texas Border Patrol agents have denied whipping migrants and claimed anyone with 'two brain cells' knows they use split reins to control their horses, after images emerged of mounted officers appearing to whip Haitian border crossers.
Agents pushed back against the criticism leveled at them and accused the Biden administration of trying to deflect from its own failings in tackling the migrant crisis.
One unidentified agent told Fox News the outrage over the images shows officials lack 'basic knowledge' of handling horses and that the outrage 'just proves what absolute idiots they are.'

Maybe they should go on strike until Biden apologizes?
interesting that the only statement Kabala has made recently about the border is that the “border patrol is whipping migrants”..
I’m looking for the video - she is sick.
The Texas Border agents are the only ones trying to protect our National borders. The Biden administration would love them to 'go on strike' - so the Bidenistas can continue to facilitate the unabated invasion of our Country.
I see the Dems know as much about horsemanship as they do about guns.
Harris is totally unqualified, and utterly incompetent.
I smell liberal democrat fear.
Harris wears a nice string of pearls.
Gutfeld nailed it today when he stated that the left was ignoring the disaster “until they could find an angle they liked.” And that they did.
Get too close to the horse....slaps happen.
Touch my horse and you’re going to find out what boot tastes like.
A "Pearl Necklace"?
Video VP HARRIS: “What I saw depicted about those individuals on horseback treating human beings the way they were is horrible...Human beings should never be treated that way

And that’s not jewelry, she’s talkin’ ‘bout, it really don’t cost that much.
One of those guys had a really nice cutting horse, it was a pleasure to watch them work.
Funny how we have these high resolution images, I haven't seen video yet, up close on the ground, yet fox news gets their drone shut down for a day.
Has anyone else seen up close and personal images/footage from down there?
Who was behind the camera and how did they get special access? Permission from Goebbels?
A VP should NEVER treat US Laws and Border that way.
After today: IMPEACH 46!
