Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar fought with CNN anchor Victor Blackwell over the claim that Border Patrol agents were using whips against Haitian migrants.
On Tuesday, Cuellar appeared on"CNN Newsroom" to discuss the ongoing border crisis as well as the viral images of Border Patrol agents on horses apprehending Haitian migrants that were crossing the border illegally.
"Certainly, we got to make sure we treat all the immigrants with respect and dignity, but I will say this. Border Patrol has had those horse brigades for a while. They’ve had them for a while, number one. Number two, they don’t carry whips, and they do not carry lassos."If there was a problem, it should be investigated, and I think that’s it. But we cannot paint the Border Patrol with the same type of paintbrush.
