Alejandro Mayorkas knew that migrants weren’t being whipped at the border. Outright lies like this shouldn’t be ignored.

From The Federalist. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas knew in September 2021 that mounted Border Patrol agents did not whip Haitian border crossers with their reins, as so many blue checkmarks and corrupt corporate media outlets suggested. Yet mere hours after he received word that the photographer who took the viral photos never saw any whipping, Mayorkas peddled the lie at a White House press conference.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation via a Freedom of Information Act request show that assistant secretary of DHS public affairs Marsha Espinosa notified Mayorkas and other top DHS officials about a local news interview debunking the viral “whipping” lie on Sept. 24, 2021.

In the body of her email to Mayorkas, Espinosa highlighted comments from Las Cruces, New Mexico photographer Paul Ratje who explained that, while photographing the mounted Border Patrol agents, he never saw officials use their leather reins to whip anyone. …

Just a few hours after receiving the email containing this key information that undermined the false narrative, Mayorkas gave a speech at the White House seemingly confirming the whipping lies and condemning Border Patrol agents.

“Our nation saw horrifying images that do not reflect who we are. We know that those images painfully conjured up the worst elements of our nation’s ongoing battle against systemic racism,” Mayorkas said. …

In July, nearly 10 months after corporate media and Democrat conspiracy theorists flooded front pages with the whipping narrative, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection investigation found no evidence that the horseback unit used their reins to strike at the Haitians illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. In fact, the report acknowledged it was the media’s outsized coverage that sparked an investigation in the first place.

As a result of his incompetence and this revelation of dishonesty, Mayorkas faces renewed calls for his impeachment amid what has become the nation’s biggest border crisis in recorded history.

Prov 6:16-19 ‘These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him; A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift to running to evil, a false witness who SPEAKS lies, and one who sows discord among the brethren.’
This man is a Liar as well as incompetent and needs to be impeached…
Psalms 109:8 ‘Let his days be few, and let another take his office. ‘We pray for this man’s days are few and a righteous person to take this office and protect the sovereignty of our Nation. Thank you Lord for you mercy on America!
