Border Patrol hasn’t forgotten that Kamala Harris jumped on fake story about agents whipping migrants: ‘It sickens me’

Border agent on horseback falsely accused of whipping migrants in Texas now awarded for his service
When border agents on horseback were falsely accused of whipping Haitian migrants in Texas in September 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris jumped on the bandwagon and slammed Border Patrol personnel — claiming the photos from the incident reminded her of America’s history of slavery.
 
“Human beings should not be treated that way,” Harris told the “View” just days after the controversy became national news. “It also invoked images of some of the worst moments of our history, where that kind of behavior has been used against the Indigenous people of our country, it has been used against African Americans during times of slavery.”

The claims that border agents whipped the migrants, who were black, were later debunked by both the photographer who took the pictures that kicked off the controversy and, later, an official Customs and Border Protection investigation.

From the first reports of this "whipping from horseback" story, my reaction was
"GOOD ! Apply those whips with sufficient force to drive them back across the river !"

And yes -- I really believe that that would have been appropriate behavior by the border patrol...

It is indeed rich that someone with ancestors that owned slaves should be so quick to criticize and speak about slavery.

My Great Great Grandfather fought as an officer for the Union, lost a leg fighting to end slavery and the abuses in the south.  For someone that comes from the other side, someone whose family benefited through years of owning slaves, the bimbo should keep her ignorant mouth shut.
