The misinformation campaign against Border Patrol continues… where’s the outrage? HotAir

In order to distract from the complete failure of the Biden administration to secure the southern border, Joe Biden and other top officials are scapegoating Border Patrol agents. Their offense? Doing their jobs on horseback. A misinformation campaign began in social media and the administration latched on to it, happy to accuse the agency of systemic racism.

You can t make this stuff up, but they did, and the Democrats and their enablers in the press are happy to play along. A photo that allegedly shows a Border Patrol agent on horseback using a whip on a Haitian migrant in Del Rio is the basis of a deliberate lie put forth by people who do not want the border secured against illegal migration. They want open borders.

That’s about the size of it, I reckon.

One gets used to a certain level of mendacity in politics, but the lies around the border crisis have gotten utterly ridiculous. But what they — the progressives and their like — are up to is obvious. New future voters are being let into the country at a rate that, well, as I’ve said before, I suspect already a number has been admitted that will permanently shift the majority in the US, if not in the next election, in future elections. That number is about 4 million. That is, if the number entering the US is about twice those stopped, usually temporarily, at the border. The hapless right, as usual, is saying “stop lying!” But why should the progressives stop lying, when lying seems to work well for them, at least with the help of a large part of the media? Does anybody not know this now? If it’s obvious to me, it must be obvious to most people.
