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?”

Warning all the agents. Last time he said, “They will pay” he drones 10 people to death.
“We will hunt you down and make you PAY” . The next day, ten innocents including seven children are droned in Kabul.
Referring to his own border patrol as “those people.” “I promise you, those people will PAY”
Regarding the unvaxxed, “we have been patient, but our patience is wearing thin”.
To people defending the 2nd amendment, “you will need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons”
pretty obvious the states will have to take on border security for themselves
Yes indeed.
They should stop following Biden’s orders and do their job (stop the invaders and turn them back) or they are just as big a jackass as Biden. Biden wants BP to let them in, are they going to just roll over and do what he wants right after he threw them under the bus?
Oh, if that were only true... The federal government has gone completely off the rails.. That foul stench coming from DC need to be put back in its proper place...
I hard President* Biden state “that’s not who we are” in his statement alleging that the US Border Patrol (mounted) ‘whipped’ Haitian refugees. That’s not how Joe Biden speaks; that’s a well-worn rhetorical flourish from Barack Obama. I wonder if Barry’s lips moved?
hard —> heard
Yeah, "President" Biden did that. He's just the puppet moron who provides the face of the single party state.
So true.
Biden, his wife, son, daughter, brothers are all in illegal business all the time.
They are a criminal cartel, and should be prosecuted under RICO.
Good catch!
Relocate a few hundred of the Haitians to his neighborhood in Delaware. Tell them to ask Hunter for a job.
I think Biden screwed the pooch there.
After him popping off with his bogus allegations, in what venue could they get a fair trial, even though video shows it didn’t happen.
Juries are dangerous mobs of malleable morons. The selection process all but guarantees your life is in the hands of your area’s lowest common denominator; not bums from under the overpass, but not “a jury of your peers,” either.
If this thing doesn’t get killed by a righteous outcome to the internal investigation, and it goes to the courts, these guys may well be hosed for life; the trial will be a mockingly political process with “justice” pasted to it like a PostIt note.
GREAT POINT-——The reason Biden SIDES WITH CRIMINALS AGAINST THOSE ENFORCING THE LAW is because he and his son are criminals.
I will rephrase the Obama Lie to a truth.
President Biden acted stupidly again.
They are a criminal cartel, and should be prosecuted under RICO
Now if the USA only had a legal system worth the name.
He has alienated the whole law enforcement community with the threat to prosecute the Horse Patrol, with no evidence of a crime.
He will get no support from LEA in any future campaign.
