It was last September when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told Yamiche Alcindor that “border agents should never again use whips on migrants.” That same day, Psaki told “CBS Mornings” that those images of whip-wielding, horseback-riding patrol agents were “horrific and horrible.” “That’s not who the Biden and Harris administration is,” Psaki said. Even the clown who started the whole “whips” lie eventually admitted that “this isn’t about whips, reins, or even horses.” Oh, really?
The Department of Homeland Security promised an investigation into the two Border Patrol agents who were not, in fact, carrying whips, though from another angle, one could be seen grabbing a migrant by the T-shirt. Fox News’ Bill Melugin notes that it’s been six months now that DHS has been “investigating” the agents.
It has now been 6 months since DHS launched an investigation into false claims that horseback border agents in Del Rio “whipped” Haitian migrants. Secretary Mayorkas pledged it would be done in “days, not weeks.”
Still not done, & the involved agents remain off patrol duties.

In January, @Anna_Giaritelli w/ the @dcexaminer spoke with DHS sources who said a final report on this incident may never be released to the public. 2 months later, it is certainly looking that way. https://t.co/t1mZ51567D

Who would want to work for a administration that would be so quick to throw you under the bus? What a joke..

Mayorkas…so many words, so many ideas and promises…how can he be expected to remember all that stuff.
BTW, we see you and hear you, Bill. If you weren't down there keeping us informed, we'd never hear anything about the U.S. border crisis.
God be with you!

They wanted you to forget about it, you're not being helpful to them

I can finish it for them: We were wrong. Very wrong. We owe these agents a profound apology.

Disgraceful – this administration can't get anything right. There never should have been an investigation in the first place.

All for a BS narrative.

It looks like they’ll be in bureaucratic purgatory until Biden is out of office.
— Woke Neanderthal (@NiceNeanderthal) March 22, 2022
There is no investigation.

You think so? A reporter released video from a different angle a few days after the outrage peaked that clears both agents of the “whipping” charge. Case closed.
