Rep. Van Drew to Newsmax: Border Patrol Union Fed Up With Biden

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., told Newsmax on Friday he was puzzled why President Joe Biden mentioned during Thursday night's debate that he was endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council — the union representing Border Patrol agents — when he knew it wasn't true.
In fact, the union quickly fired off a post on X stating, "To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden."
"Why would the president say that when he knew that there were members of the union watching and he should have known they were immediately not going to let him get away with that lie?" Van Drew said on "American Agenda." "I guess maybe he thought they would be afraid to come out and tell the truth. But boy, they sure weren't afraid because they have had it."
Van Drew, a member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, said Border Patrol agents and the rest of country have seen how Biden's open-border policies have affected the country, compared with the tighter immigration policies under former President Donald Trump.
