On Sunday "60 Minutes" aired an interview with former Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz who said that during his time in that position he never once had a conversation with President Biden or VP and "border czar" (pause for laughter) Kamala Harris:
"I've never had one conversation with the president or the vice president for that matter… That's a problem,” says Raul Ortiz, the U.S. Border Patrol chief under President Biden until he retired last year. pic.twitter.com/bWoZkFbnVc

Fox News' Bill Melugin pointed out that Biden, Harris or Mayorkas never apologized for claiming Border Patrol agents on horseback "whipped" people trying to enter the U.S. illegally, and pointed to an email from Ortiz that might help explain why the shameless people at the top of this administration didn't want to speak with him:
President Biden never apologized to the horseback Border Patrol agents he falsely accused of whipping Haitian migrants in Del Rio in 2021. He promised consequences against them & said they would “pay”, despite pushing a false narrative a lengthy CBP investigation later debunked. https://t.co/SJ60CbPXu5

After being smeared by the Biden White House and other Democrats, Ortiz was, for good reason, not happy about it:
"Gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight!"

Not only has the White House never apologized, but they never even cared to meet with Ortiz when he was the Border Patrol chief because Biden & Harris' lies would have made it awkward.
He and those associated with this despicable lie never will admit or apologize .

That would take honesty & class, which they have none !
And he never will, and he will never admit because of him Laken Riley was murdered.

Nope. They have a narrative to stay with and no amount of reality will make them change course.
They love to make statements. They love to stir the pot. They love get people all fired up and when they are wrong…. They to just move on with no acknowledging they messed up.

Another example is how "Bidenomics" contributed to worsening inflation, so instead of acknowledging that and changing course, the White House got the Cookie Monster to help try and blame corporate greed for "shrinkflation." Shameless as usual.
