It’s blowing my mind that most media outlets and journalists waited to pounce on border crisis until they had an angle to attack Border Patrol agents, but didn’t pounce for weeks prior as Biden left thousands of migrants under a bridge without sufficient food or sanitation.

NEW: At briefing with TX Governor Greg Abbott, the Border Patrol union informs him that migrants on a transport bus being driven from Del Rio to the RGV overtook the staff and fled from the bus.

Reports of the mistreatment of Haitian migrants fleeing violence and devastation from natural disasters are deeply troubling, including the inappropriate use of what appear to be whips by Border Patrol officers on horseback to intimidate migrants.

Also today: Biden’s own DHS chief explains that didn’t actually happen. “Mayorkas explained that agents use long reins — not whips — to control their horses.” https://t.co/ekls2Q7X6U

For all you Twitter warriors out there: these are NOT whips. And no, Border Patrol agents are NOT "whipping" people.

They are REINS... Stay with us here, like a steering wheel is used to drive a car, the reins are used to “drive” the horse.

"She is placing blame on agents to deflect because she and Biden are not going to change how they are handling this."
"It just proves what absolute idiots they are." https://t.co/Yra7AZ2fg6
