Border Patrol agents blast Biden for repeating debunked claim that they 'strapped' migrants | Daily Mail Online

 UK Daily Mail Online

• Border agents have hit out at the president for not supporting them over pictures of a mounted agent swinging the reins of his horse while confronting an immigrant
• The pictures were first believed to show him whipping the man, but that account has already been debunked with even the photographer who took the pictures saying his image showed no such thing
• But Biden said: 'People will pay. There will be investigation underway now and there will be consequences'
• VP Kamala Harris had compared the photos to 'times of slavery'
• Agents blasted the administration, saying: ‘It is absolutely outrageous that President Biden wouldn’t give us the benefit of the doubt before spouting off'
• Another said the officers live by a code of conduct, adding: 'Just because Biden won't man up and accept responsibility for his actions doesn't mean we won't'
• Another mass crisis is looming from South America where some 19,000 migrants, mainly Haitians, are now amassed near the Colombian border 

. . . "But that didn’t stop Biden calling the image and video ‘outrageous.’

"' ‘It is absolutely outrageous that President Biden wouldn’t give us the benefit of the doubt before spouting off,’ one agent told DailyMail.com.

" ‘He should have supported us as Federal agents — especially in light of how abysmally he’s handled the border crisis.' 

" ‘We do this job for the safety and security of our families and the nation. Just because Biden won't man up and accept responsibility for his actions doesn't mean we won't,’ a second agent told DailyMail.com.

" ‘We have handled every crisis this administration has challenged us with and we still hold our heads up, put a badge on and go to work to defend this country from any who would enter illegally,’ he added. 

" Instead of support them, Biden said of the picture and video: ‘It was horrible to see, to see people treated like they did, with horses nearly running them over. People being strapped.'

"He added: ‘It's outrageous. I promise you those people will pay. There will be investigation underway now and there will be consequences. There will be consequences. It's an embarrassment.' ". . .
