Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy once again put White House press secretary Jen Psaki on the hot seat Monday, asking her if she or the Biden administration would apologize to Border Patrol agents who were unjustly accused of whipping Haitian migrants near the US-Mexico border last year.
“And one additional question about something that happened a few months ago down at the border… We’ve been told that the mounted Border Patrol officers the president accused of whipping migrants have been notified they will not face criminal charges. So, when is the president going to apologize to them?” Doocy asked at a White House press briefing.
“There is a process and an investigation that’s gone to the Department of Homeland Security. I don’t have any update on that,” Psaki deflected.
“The president said that they were whipping people, which would be a criminal offense, and they’ve been told they’re not gonna be criminally charged,” the Fox News reporter added.
“And there was an investigation into that and I’ll let the Department of Homeland Security announce any conclusion of that investigation,” Psaki answered, dodging the question once again.
Why did Psaki refuse to apologize Monday — when asked by Peter Doocy — to the recently vindicated border patrol agents who she and Biden falsely accused of “whipping” migrants?

“You accused these officers of ‘brutal and inappropriate measures.’ Now that they’ve been told they will not be criminally charged, will you apologize to them?” Doocy pressed.
“And Peter, there was an investigation into their behavior. So, that investigation is playing out. Whenever it’s going to be announced, the Department of Homeland Security will announce that and I’m sure we’ll have a comment on it after that,” she replied, doggedly refusing to answer Doocy’s questions much less apologize.

In September, Border Patrol agents on horseback in Del Rio, Texas were vilified for using their horse reigns to allegedly whip migrants while blocking them from illegally crossing the border. Misleading images were offered up as proof of abuse. What they purportedly showed was a long-used technique for controlling horses so they would not harm the immigrants.
The media and many Democrats ran with the abuse angle, playing up the “whipping” accusations and even invoking imagery of slavery to make the agents look as contemptible as possible. So did the White House and Psaki. She called the actions of the Border Patrol agents “brutal and inappropriate” behavior at the time.
Now that the allegations have been debunked and the agents have been notified that no charges will be forthcoming, an apology by President Joe Biden and his administration is being sought by those defending the agents.
“We understand and agree that this has been an incredibly heart-wrenching issue,” Psaki claimed when the allegations surfaced. “We’ve watched the photos of Haitians gathering under a bridge, many with families, and the horrific video of the CBP officers on horses using brutal and inappropriate measures against innocent people.”

Biden was even more aggressive in going after the agents, saying “those people will pay.”
“There will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences,” Biden vowed. “There will be consequences.”
“I take responsibility,” he said. “It was horrible to see, to see people treated like they did, with horses nearly running them over. People being strapped. It’s outrageous.”
The agents were put on desk duty pending an outcome of the investigation and hopefully will now be able to resume their duties.
The New York Post is reporting that the Biden administration has compiled a 500-page report on the investigation into the Border Patrol agents’ actions that day.
Jen Psaki just said when the investigation of the Border Patrol whipping people was over, they may have a comment. This is after she and the president trashed them months ago. Release the report and clear these people. pic.twitter.com/TnfX0rkNjC

“No one knows what’s in the report,” National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd stated. “I don’t know what’s in it. As of yesterday afternoon, the chief of the Border Patrol didn’t know what’s in it.”
“I’ve never seen a 500-page report where no one did anything wrong,” he added.

If I had a penny for every lie told by government politicians, officials and employees. I could pay off our national debt and still be a multi-trillionaire. Just saying
I’m still waiting for an apology from Biden for stealing an election and destroying the economy. By reversing everything good with his autograph signing of executive orders. Just asking
If anyone should pay for anything it’s worthless biden for the destruction of our America and the hurtful things it’s doing to her Americans!!!!
Peter was right on asking the question, but like Kyle Rittenhouse, don’t expect any apologies from the Biden regime. In order to apologize, you have to have a moral compass that tells you what you did was wrong. This regime has no morals and therefore no moral compass, therefore, no apology.
That’s fine, this is what the voters want. Long live our Democratic Republic!!!!
Also, let’s go Brandon!!!!!
Democrats never apologize. They simply make it all YOUR FAULT!
The pasty faced and orange haired Bolshevik, Jen Psaki – never apologizes for anything just like all Democrats when caught in all their lies and false narratives to impugn and denigrate our law enforcement and border patrol officers.
Pissaky should be Putin’s press secretary!!!!
Biden owes Americans an apology for his stupidity along with some of the un-american politicians that hate whiteness you know them as the squad
The Biden Bungling Brothers Border Circus continues, Psaki is just one of the clown acts. I’m far more concerned about the terrorists & drugs coming over the border. Doocy should be slamming this administration for the drugs manufactured in China, sold to Mexican drug cartels and walked over our Open Democrat Border. And he should ask how much cartel cash is being paid under the table to Democrats. THAT would be a Psaki meltdown of epic proportions.
Lil Red Lying Hood dodges again! Her quick movements belie her girth.
I think pissaky and bidumb should get 20 lashes each, every time they get involved in another lie. Ah hell, they would be at the whipping post forever and never get any “work” done!😏
Neither one of them know what work is!!! Try 1,000 lashes with a leather belt.
SHE DIDN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION. The correct answer would have been “Yes” or “No”. Typical of her to avoid, elude the truth.
Well no apology will be forthcoming from this administration! Instead they should just whip biden until he goes back to the basement and never comes out again!
Remember the classy biden and psaki think Doocy is a “stupid S.O.B, because he asks pertinent questions that an interested populace want asked. Psaki must have a degree in lying, and doesn’t seem to respect the American people (who are paying her), enough to be truthful.
Everything you say here is true. She is SWAMP SCUM.
“I’ve never seen a 500 page report…” – you don’t understand tax feeders very well. Or bureauleeches, if you will.
Democrats never apologize when they are wrong, never admit any kind of mistake and always blame someone or something else for their own incompetence. I remember when the vile Harry Reid said that Mitt Romney never paid taxes for 10 years – when proven that was a lie-Reid was asked if he would apologize and he said – “No-he would not and that it worked didn’t it- Romney did not get elected did he”. This is what Democrats Do, they lie, make up phony narratives and conspiracies and then are never held accountable.
Biden is a mental midget who engages his mouth before what is left of his brain. But then he is just following his former boss who did the same thing many times. It seems to be one of the traits ingrained into the DNA of democrats!!
Democraps are your new COMMUNISTS in America. Get used to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
