White House says images of Border Patrol with whip are 'obviously horrific'

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday called pictures that appeared to show a U.S. Border Patrol agent on horseback with a whip to deter migrants "horrific," but declined to say what consequences there should be for the agent's actions.

"I have seen some of the footage. I don't have the full context. I can't imagine what context would make that appropriate, but I don't have additional details," she told reporters at the daily White House briefing. "I don't think anyone seeing that footage would think it's acceptable or appropriate."

A picture by photographer Paul Ratje showed the agent on horseback grabbing one of the migrants as the man tried to cross into the United States from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, on Sunday. The El Paso Times reported the agent had swung his whip and charged his horse at people trying to cross, shouting, "Let's go! Get out now! Back to Mexico!"

Where can I get a Bronze Sculpture of that picture?

I'd settle for an art print. It reminds me of Frederic Remington's work.

I think some were there. But, the majority are a mystery. We need to find out. This admin uses and abuse people for an end goal. They entice impoverished people to come to the US with zero regard for their well being. And a larger priority is to their citizens. They have zero regard to us, the rule of law, the money being wasted, personal property destroyed, employees are exacerbated, disease, crime , etc

They organized this invasion. We need to learn the truth. I’m sure some of the Haitians have told the LEO’s by now.

But, there has been one crisis after another. I believe this one of Alinsky’s rules. To overwhelm. To keep us in reaction mode instead of being able to get ahead of ‘it or them’. I know longer think it’s a cliche’ or theory. Obama is behind this. He is one of the globalists calling the shots. They can not globalize us as long as we are still a super power.

“ Exactly. Doubt ANY person of the MSM has ever ridden.”

Riding bareback has a little different meaning for democrats.

I grew up with a large field of land mines between us and the fence line. It worked quite well.

notice the reins are not straight like a whip but have a loop at the center of them,between illegals head and agents head, obviously not a tensioned whip

Anybody who can’t tell the difference between reins and a whip is either a moron, an effete snob, or both.
