CBP determined no agent had a whip, but that one did use ‘offensive’ language toward a migrant.
The mounted border agents accused of “whipping” Haitian migrants on the bank of the Rio Grande last year did not employ whips or hit anyone, the Customs and Border Protection commissioner said Friday, while the door was left open for pursuing administrative infractions.
In response, one Texas lawmaker said President Biden – who continued to push the discredited claim the Haitian migrants were whipped – doesn’t understand horsemanship or how to control his emotions.
Biden claimed horses “barely r[a]n over people being strapped,” later pledging “those people will pay.”
Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, told Fox News on Friday that Biden and other “liberal city slickers” can’t differentiate horse reins from whips.
