The photographer behind images depicting Border Patrol agents on horseback told KTSM things are not exactly what they seem when it comes to the photos.
The photographs, which were taken Sunday, appear to show agents on horses with a whip in hand. The photos caused outrage because from certain angles, it appears to show Border Patrol whipping migrants, but photographer Paul Ratje said he and his colleagues never saw agents whipping anyone.
“Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses,” Ratje said.
“I’ve never seen them whip anyone,” Ratje said. “He was swinging it, but it can be misconstrued when you’re looking at the picture.”

The media is the enemy of the people.
What kind of "friend" of yours lies to you constantly?
This is the “very fine people” libel with a new face.
This is all a distraction.
I’m waiting for a Babylon Bee article something like this...
Biden administration vows revenge against Border Patrol.

Investigation reveals hispanic family of 23 living in

Biden refuses to take questions...
Big media won’t report this. Big media already told you what to think!
He’s not dumb, he’s lying. He wanted to push that stereotype, got paid for the effort, and now wants to distance himself from the blowback.
And if the photo gets an award from the publishing industry, he will accept it and take the credit for showing how bad the Border Patrol is.
That’s alright..
as long as theyre not Haitians...the flavor of the week ...
If you have a whip in your hand, and you want to whip someone ... this is NOT how you do it.
Dems lie, it’s the whole hands up lie all over again.
Thanks for providing fake evidence for the lying media and fake news to create yet another fantasy that never occurred.
I was just about to post this. Lemme guess. You follow Mark Levin.
[[ things are not exactly what they seem when it comes to the photos. ]]
the facts don’t matter now- the ,eft have invented the ‘New Facts’ and those new facts are that white supremacists were rounding up slaves and whipping them on the border, in full view of everyone.
The left will not deviate from that lie either, infact, they have already acted on The lie, and have vowed to ‘punish 5he agents involved.
Exclusively, probably because no other outlet would want to tell it.
Nuts! Just this morning videos

January 6th only with horses.
It’s a blatant attempt by Biden to change the narrative on his shit handling of the border and ought to be clearly and repeatedly pointed out as such.
Ted? Get in front of a camera and start talking.
I looked on the DailyKos front page today and saw no pictures of BP agent impropriety.
The short video I saw on some channel also did not show any evidence of “whipping”. They were just dodging the horses. Unless there is some other evidence out there, this is yet another fake story pushed by the left and the MSM.
