President Joe Biden and his administration have remained mum since a Texas Army National Guard soldier was first reported missing, and now many are calling out the disconnect between leadership and the concerns of Americans as one pundit wondered of White House press secretary Jen Psaki, “will she cry for us?”
Reports broke Friday morning that a 22-year-old service member with the Texas National Guard had entered the Rio Grande in an effort to save a migrant woman who appeared in distress as she crossed the waterway. Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber told the Daily Mail, “He dove in to get her, and he never came back up. That area of the river is very dangerous this time of year. Very strong tides and currents. He did not resurface.”
While the Texas Military Department had announced that the soldier, who was acting on behalf of Governor Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) Operation Lone Star, was being searched for, an update to their report indicated they had to delay that effort.
“The search for our missing National Guard Soldier continues,” the update said. “The Texas Rangers have taken the lead on investigating the incident, and we are thankful for their support as well as the continued support of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Parks and Wildlife and the Border Patrol.”
“Unfortunately, the strength of the river’s current has forced the Search and Rescue Teams to cease dive operations. We are hopeful that they will resume tomorrow. We will continue the search for our Soldier until we have exhausted all possible resources. We are in the process of notifying the next of kin regarding the missing Soldier.”
They had also made note of the fact that it was too early to presume that the soldier had died in his efforts to save the migrant whom Schmerber indicated, “successfully made it to the US side of the river herself, where she was taken into Border Patrol custody.”
In a conversation with fill-in host, Pete Hegseth on Friday’s episode of “Hannity,” Kellyanne Conway, Clay Travis, and Charlie Hurt discussed the terrible decision-making by Biden who had spent the day promoting green initiatives for Earth Day and evidently made no mention of the potential loss of life of a military service member.

Hegseth asked Hurt if this was a question of incompetence or blinding ideology to which the contributor replied, “I think they’re completely seized by this ideological craziness and they can’t see anything else.”
“My one question is this: This week we saw Jen Psaki burst into tears talking about that law in Florida, to stop people from teaching kindergartners about transsexualism,” he added. “Will she cry for us over that Texas National Guard? That’s what I want to know.”
Psaki had lamented, “kids who are bullied, and all these leaders are taking steps to hurt them, and hurt their lives and hurt their families!” over Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law. Hurt is apt to predict potential hypocrisy on the part of Psaki should she not weep over the possible death of the National Guard soldier. The Constitution protects states’ rights to govern free of federal overreach, but the border is a national issue that has continued to remain unaddressed by the president.
Eagles Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas told the Washington Post, “It’s just so many people crossing, many are holding kids and older ladies are crossing and we don’t know if they can even swim. Most times people cross when the water is low, but in Spanish, we call it the Rio Bravo because it’s really unpredictable.”
Dennis Smith, Del Rio Sector Border Patrol spokesman, added to the Post, “Agents acted quickly and deployed flotation devices and rescue ropes. The boat unit made multiple trips to the boat ramp, ferrying the subjects to safety.”

The Mail reported that border officials have reported more than a million incidents with migrants since October 1, 2021, and the ending of Title 42 could bring about as many as half a million migrants per month which Border Patrol does not have the means to address.

Don’t think the Guardsman being missing has even been addressed by this inept bunch.
And what about the mom that was brutally murdered in NY – her assailant was an illegal. The border needs to be closed – period
The New York Times reported “the Texas Military Department said that the soldier had been attempting to rescue two migrants as they appeared to be drowning as they crossed the river to the United States. The migrants were involved in drug trafficking, the department said. Both are in the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol.” If they were involved in drug trafficking, perhaps they killed the soldier. My hopes would be that the two illegal migrants be thrown back into the river.
She wasn’t a good enough actress while trying to emulate Schumer’s failed attempt at real tears when she tried the first time ~ She can’t cry truthfully Because she’s a Demo-Lib and being truthful is like sunlight to vampires, or is that silver stakes in the heart. Nope – No heart.
Joey Biden regime, CLUELESS!!!!
Of course not, evil people only cry for themselves, be damned with others.
The pasty faced, orange haired Bolshevik- never feels sorry for real Americans – just the approved list.
No, she doesn’t know what a true hero is. She would rather cry over brain washing and grooming little kids, she is mentally unstable.
Crying Jen told F Chuck Todd…”we view the national guard as we do the cops. They are evil and serve no purpose”.
Will Psaki cry for Bribem’s loss of mental acuity?
Psaki and Joy “pass the bananas” Ried on MSNBC, there’s a pair for ya.
