Ahead of Title 42 expiring just before midnight tonight, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas held a press conference at the White House. And something pretty interesting happened:

Well, dang.

We must admit that we were caught off guard by Mayorkas’ interjection.

We strongly believe in giving credit where credit is due, and Secretary Mayorkas deserves credit for correcting the record and stating categorically that the mounted Border Patrol agents accused of whipping the migrants were cleared of any wrongdoing.

Unfortunately, it took Mayorkas over a year and a half to correct the record and state categorically that the mounted Border Patrol agents had been cleared. Sawyer Hackett got that hoax off the ground back in September of 2021 and the Biden administration was only too eager to take that ball and run with it. Repeatedly. Mayorkas himself was busted for spreading the lie despite evidently knowing full well that the agents hadn’t whipped anyone.

So at the end of the day, the best we can really give Mayorkas is a one-handed golf clap. And then we can go back to outright loathing him and the rest of the Biden administration.

We aren’t holding our breath, either. We’ve dealt with this administration long enough to know how they operate, and how they operate is shameless and unrepentant.

The damage has already been done. And the Biden administration wouldn’t have it any other way.
