Mayorkas knew border agents did not whip migrants before repeating false claims, emails show.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was told last year that there was no evidence Border Patrol agents had “whipped” or “strapped” Haitian migrants at the US-Mexico border — hours before he bolstered President Biden’s lies about the incident at a press conference. A Sept. 24, 2021 email to Mayorkas from Marsha Espinosa, assistant secretary of DHS public affairs, highlighted an interview with the photographer who captured agents on horseback trying to corral migrants and block them from entering the US near Del Rio, Texas, according to Fox News.

Photographs appeared to show Border Patrol agents whipping Haitian migrants at the US border on Spet. 19, 2021, but photographer Paul Ratje later said that was not the case.

I really wish we had a small section in the Constitution which stated that any elected official could be removed from office if found to have lied while serving. Mistakes are OK. Mistakes happen. No one expects perfection. But straight-up falsehood, as well as “artful” use of language (”it depends on what the meaning of “is” is”) really ought to be enough to remove a “public servant”.

You are there to serve the People. So tell the truth. The only “good” reason to lie is because you are serving yourself and/or your party, and don’t care about the People.

I saw former acting ICE Director under Trump Tom Homan speak at an event last Saturday. While he didn’t use such words, it’s pretty clear he thinks Mayorkas is a piece of dung.

The three horseback agents and their supervisor face up to two weeks of unpaid suspension in connection with the incident, according to the report. The officials are still attempting to respond to the proposed discipline.

These agents need to sue Mayorkas and every decision maker involved in their punishment.

Mayorkas needs to be impeached, removed from office and then tried for treason, found guilty and hanged. Mayorkas is a deep agent of Cuba.

Yet there are those that walk among us who believe this is true.

And will argue the false narrative.

I agree. He definitely needs to be held to a higher standard than Alex Jones, since he is a public official.

The ‘government’ has always believed that it should lie to protect the stupid, ignorant, bastards of John Q. Public. It would be difficult to draft a law that covered all contingencies while allowing for national security.

Recall elections would be important if we could only trust our democrat/communist controlled elections.

I have several liberal, post-menopausal, former teacher ladies in my condo complex, who parrot that crap, all the time. I argue right back, and (sadly) have made several of the cry in shame at the truth.

It’s not “repeating claims”

It’s knowingly false accusations. Of your own people. Big fricken’ difference.

It does, yet again, prove dems will knowingly falsely accuse their opponents of the most vile, baseless lies so long as it serves their agenda.

And that’s why nothing they say should ever, ever be trusted.

To the FreeRepublic legal community. If Mayorkas made statements about agents whipping migrants AFTER it was known that they did not ..... isn’t that defamation? Could that prompt a lawsuit?

At the time of the constitution, one’s good character was the measure of your societal value. Highly regarded and protected at all costs. Men would duel each other to avenge false attacks on their character.

In the Talmud, character assassination is treated as the equivalent of murder. Not Jewish, good law [as many, many are].

Putting a ‘character’ disqualification for politicians in the constitution never would occur to the founders, just as they didn’t enshrine breathing as a constitutional right.

Few possess that character today. PDJT, DeSantis, maybe Gabbard display it. That’s about it.

Mayorkas is a flaming butthole. A real south of the border retard.
