On Monday, the liberal media actually began taking note of the disaster on the U.S.-Mexico border however it wasn’t the practically 15,000 Haitians dwelling in squalid situations below a bridge they had been involved about. Suggesting the picture of a mounted Border Patrol agent trying to cease an unlawful immigrant was “a type of barbarism and we now have to be higher than,” CNN Prime Time host Chris Cuomo went on a screed in opposition to the agent; equating him to both a slave grasp or somebody looking runaway slaves.
“We actually are within the throes of this nation of determining who we’re and what we’re about. And I used to be shocked by a single picture that ought to make you take note of an issue,” Cuomo lamented as he returned from a industrial.
In line with his hysterics, the unnamed Border Patrol agent leaning off his horse to seize a person making an attempt to illegally enter the nation was the type of racist you’d see pre-Civil Battle:
As a picture, to me it does smack of a bygone period of slavery aided by stories of individuals being crushed whether or not with a rioting crop or the reigns, more than likely. It’s possible you’ll be drawn to the desperation of the person making an attempt to flee. Others within the desperation of protecting our borders protected of what I imagine the previous president tried to depict as a brown menace at our border. None of this, none of it’s new and it’s not remoted.
This bloviating stemmed from false stories, which circulated all day and had been additionally peddled by the Biden administration, that the mounted brokers had been utilizing “whips” in opposition to the black folks making an attempt to cross. After all, Cuomo refused to indicate the pictures of Latino brokers on horseback.
Constructing off a soundbite of Press Secretary Jen Psaki ignorantly going off on the picture by saying she doesn’t “assume anybody that seen that footage would assume it was acceptable or applicable,” Cuomo lashed out at Border Patrol.
“Effectively, anyone did. Proper? As a result of that is how they determined to cope with the scenario. So, the query turns into unravel it. Discover out who mentioned it was okay. Why was it okay? Inform us,” he sneered. “However that is greater than an image; it is a actuality.”
“Look, that’s their job. Nevertheless it’s – what’s being accomplished to permit this nation to course of the necessity. We will not do higher than horseback,” Cuomo demanded to know. He would get round to admitting horses had been wanted due to the terrain, however, on the identical time, he argued {that a} border wall wouldn’t resolve the issue (Click on “develop”):
You see the video. However you should see the confluence. All proper? All the things occurring without delay. All captured on this one picture. Okay? See the horse. Their use is frequent and mandatory alongside this a part of the border.
The horse is there as a result of a wall was by no means going to be sufficient. Sounded easy. As a result of it was simplistic. We had been by no means a wall away. We’ve spent billions on know-how, drones, helicopters, sensors, blimps, cameras. Even, sure, fencing. However given the terrain, the work of patrolling typically needs to be accomplished on horseback.
Cuomo would finally sympathize with the agent he was simply smearing as a racist. “Take a look at the agent’s face. What do you see? Frustration. Anger. They have been put in a nasty place. They’re overwhelmed. The system is overwhelmed,” he mentioned.
However the harm was accomplished. Cuomo already framed the person as a slavery-era racist. And as Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross described it on Twitter: “I suppose CNN realized completely nothing from Covington[.]”
