When border agents on horseback were falsely accused of whipping Haitian migrants in Texas in September 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris jumped on the bandwagon and slammed Border Patrol personnel — claiming the photos from the incident reminded her of America’s history of slavery.
“Human beings should not be treated that way,” Harris told the “View” just days after the controversy became national news. “It also invoked images of some of the worst moments of our history, where that kind of behavior has been used against the Indigenous people of our country, it has been used against African Americans during times of slavery.”
The claims that border agents whipped the migrants, who were black, were later debunked by both the photographer who took the pictures that kicked off the controversy and, later, an official Customs and Border Protection investigation.
However, Harris — who was tasked with stopping the historically high flow of migrants across the US border — never backtracked or apologized for her previous statements.
And Border Patrol agents haven’t forgotten the comments by the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Harris’ statements “vilified” the agency, a border agent who works in the border region where the incident happened told The Post.
The agent, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said Harris “isn’t willing to apologize because it didn’t fit the narrative.”
“It sickens me that they could care less about us,” the agent said.
