George P. Bush visited the southern border over the weekend and lashed out at Joe Biden and his administration for the outrage over images of agents on horseback wrangling illegal immigrants.
'After false outrage over a misinterpreted photo, Biden has stripped yet another tool from our men & women protecting this country,' Bush, who currently serves as the Texas Land Commissioner, tweeted on Saturday.
'Enough is enough,' he continued. 'Stop attacking our border patrol & give them the resources necessary to secure the border instead of setting them up for failure.'
The White House announced on Thursday that it would no longer allow Border Patrol agents in Del Rio to ride on horseback after images emerged of them using what some deemed to be whips to wrangle mostly Haitian migrants in the Department of Homeland Security's ramped up deportation efforts.
Bush is running to be the next Texas attorney general. He insisted on Twitter that agents need horses as a mode of transportation along the 'hard terrain' of the southern border.
'This is the reality of our border,' he tweeted along with a video showing the hilly, rocky and sandy area surrounding the U.S.-Mexico border. 'It's not a picturesque landscape like Joe Biden wants everyone to believe. It's hard terrain that requires agility and adaptability, something a horse conquers easily.'
'It's split reins that help give the agents additional control over the horse that they are using as a tool-not a weapon,' he added.
'They're certainly not whips, as Biden and Kamala want us to believe.'
