President Biden earned the ire of Border Patrol agents on Friday after endorsing the false claim that they were recorded “whipping” migrants who were attempting to cross the Rio Grande into Del Rio, Texas, earlier this week.
At a press briefing Friday, Biden said the agents would “pay” for allegedly lashing the Haitian migrants — a narrative popularized by journalists on social media even though the video evidence shows no such thing.
Border Patrol morale is suffering due to the administration’s scapegoating.
“Would you go to work and do your best knowing that if you do your boss is going to ‘make you pay’?” one agent told Fox News. “I’m dumbfounded and don’t know what to say. Is the president threatening to throw us in prison?”
“I see the administration wants to fry our agents, he just started a war with Border Patrol,” said another agent.
Brandon Judd, leader of the National Border Patrol Council, noted to Fox News that the investigation has already been skewed against the agents now that Biden has prematurely pronounced them guilty.
“Now that the President of the United States has already said they did wrong, how is an investigator supposed to do a true and honest investigation?” he said. “Because if that investigator finds they did nothing wrong — and they didn’t do anything wrong — but if that investigator finds they didn’t do anything wrong, how is that investigator’s job going to go?”

100% agree.
Maybe it is time to really get the whips out?
The Border Patrol and the Texas Rangers should deputize citizens and drive these illegal invaders out! The Federal government has abdicated its responsibility for far too long.
If Biden started a war with the Border Patrol, they should abandon the border and go to DC to finish it. I’m so sick of seeing this play out year after year and nothing changes.
Good Police go to war against Senior Biden.. Time to do it before he does anymore damage!!!
I feel exactly the same way. I hate these people, all of them. More than that I cannot say.
Well, at least the Border Patrol will be on our side when the balloon goes up...
The Communist Purge Is Growing Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
The BLUE COATS are coming, the BLUE COATS are coming....
Biden and his ilk want to just throw our borders open.
“Is the president threatening to throw us in prison?”

You heard it with your own ears my FRend.

The Biden presidency is the political equivalent of a Tijuana donkey show.
Yes, I can see them being fired and then charged with criminal conduct. With a politicized judiciary, I am not even sure that innocence would prevail. Regardless, the process is the punishment and defending themselves will be very expensive.
For the tally book: How many border crossers have been treated by medical personnel for strapping injuries?
Or is the whole thing just something Biden made up?
I am no horse expert; never had a paid riding lesson but I did own and ride horses and mules for over 25 years.
I recommend: less rein twirling, if that is what they were doing.
Shorten the length of the reins; sew the ends of the reins together; keep the reins in the left hand; keep the right hand free for baton or pistol work, but only do that as a last resort.
If they are I’ll go testify for them. That was excellent horsemanship and the reason no one was hurt is because those agents exhibited excellent control and skill.
The one thing nobody is talking about is all those Haitians were carrying bags of “to go” boxes. They strolled back across the border to get take out.
As in "Maybe instead of (allegedly) whipping them with leather straps, we can just move on up to shooting unarmed women at point blank range, killing them on the spot". Seems to work for the Capitol Police, Biden never batted an eye. House Democrats seem to think it was just fine...
Yes, that is one for the ages, for sure.
I would be mote than happy if every BP officer quit. Let the “migrants” fukking starve to death in the desert. Quit being the GD welcome wagon.
I hear tell the also arrested the horses.
One question not asked: “so, Secretary Majorka, these thousands we ask where are they, and you answer that they are “in process,” …The question was about geography, not bureaucracy, where are these people sleeping tonight, ….in the Federal Courthouse, in the street, in random hotels, at your house? PHYSICALLY, where are they , ….or do you nor know?.”
