Joe Biden’s Big Lie
It’s interesting - OK, horrifying - to observe recent changes in Joe Biden.
After his deadly surrender to the Taliban last month Biden transitioned from mere buffoon to a feckless, incompetent leader.
But with Friday’s press conference, where Biden condemned mounted border patrol agents, lied about them “strapping” illegals and promised that the agents would “pay” for their conduct, he revealed himself to be evil.
This vile man is willing to sacrifice border agents - the only people doing their jobs on the southern border - because of an out-of-context PHOTOGRAPH.
All to appease the far-left nuts in the Democratic Party.
Someone needs to remind this White House half-wit that it is wrong for him to play judge and jury because a viral photo has excited race-baiting idiots like Al Sharpton and Rep. Maxine Waters.
Here’s what the congresswoman from California actually said about a picture of a mounted agent with reins flying who is grabbing someone illegally entering the country by his T-shirt: “What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery."
Hyperbole much?
Biden is hoping that by spreading his Big Lie and making the border agents the bad guys, Americans will be distracted from the catastrophe on our border.
While Biden placed tight restrictions on travel from Europe and Canada, the southern border has been wide open with thousands of unvetted illegals swimming or walking into the country and being casually dispersed into all corners of the U.S.
In the middle of a pandemic.
Biden’s handlers hope that by focusing attention on mounted border patrol agents, we’ll forget that last week almost 15,000 Haitians were massed at our border. They were living in squalor and entering our country without being tested for Covid or forced to take vaccines.
Now they’ve been bused to parts unknown and most will never return for their immigration hearings. In a year or two some leftie in Congress will call them “Swimmers” or “Waders” and demand that we give them citizenship.
Make no mistake, illegals are pouring across the border because Biden and Harris invited them by signaling that they would roll back Trump’s tough-on-illegal-immigration measures and roll out a welcome mat.
The New York Times reports that most of the Haitians in Del Rio left their own country years ago and settled in Brazil or Chile. These are not asylum seekers. They are opportunists.
Let’s talk mounted police for a moment. Most big cities - and even smaller ones, like Virginia Beach - put their law enforcement officers on horseback to control crowds.
Mounted patrols enjoy a better vantage point than officers in cars or on foot and they can go where cars cannot. They are especially useful on the border because horses can navigate the same underbrush and foot trails that migrants use to sneak into the country.
Beyond that, most people will move out of the way when a large animal approaches rather than risk being trampled.
The agents in Texas were using split reins. These are long reins that are split in two so they don’t catch on trees or brush.
They are not whips.
Who would know for sure if illegals were being “strapped”? The photographer who took the viral photo. According to The New York Post, Paul Ratije said the agents he photographed were not whipping the migrants.
“Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses, and that’s kind of when the whole thing happened.”
“I didn’t ever see them whip anybody, with the thing,” he said of the reins. “He was swinging it. But I didn’t see him actually take — whip someone with it. That’s something that can be misconstrued when you’re looking at the picture.”
Nevertheless, an investigation is underway, the agents have been removed from their positions and the mounted patrol has been grounded.
All because of a photo.
After the events of last week regarding the mounted border patrol, we know this much:
Maxine Waters is insane. Biden is making public policy based on photographs. And America’s in trouble.
