The Attorney General for Texas, Ken Paxton, has demanded that Joe Biden apologize to the Border Patrol Agents who were falsely accused of Whipping illegal migrants in Del Rio, Texas last year.
A nine-month federal investigation into the accusations was launched and found that there was ‘no evidence that the agents “struck, intentionally or otherwise, any migrant with their reins,” according to its 511-page report released on July 8. Not to mention the agents were not carrying whips in Del Rio.
House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) posted a message to social media calling on Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to issue an apology,
“Biden, Harris, & their allies in the media should all apologize to our brave Border Patrol agents for smearing their reputation. Rather than disparage the men and women tasked with protecting our border, President Biden should give them the tools they need to secure our border.”

Harris had said that their would be “consequences and accountability” and even compared their actions to “times of slavery.”
Texas AG Paxton said Friday that Biden was playing politics with the border agents lives,
“It’s really unfortunate for these border agents who’ve given their lives to securing our border and defending Americans, and here they are being punished. They should be rewarded. I would expect instead that Joe Biden and some of these political leaders should come out and actually apologize to these guys for what they’ve been through.”
