Didn't the photographer come out and say he saw no whipping and that the photo was taken out of context? Where did you get your news from? Not poking fun but seriously curious.
Can you imagine the protests in the streets, or how much the Hollywood Elite would be opining on every. last. tv show, or how the Democrats in Washington would have flocked to Del Rio, Texas (and I live in Texas…getting to Del Rio ain’t easy) if this event and photo would have occurred under the Trump Administration? For fuck’s sake, Rachel Maddow and the rest of MSNBC would still be broadcasting daily from the bridge in an air conditioned yurt!
For the new folks, I’m no Trump fan, but I’ll call this one like I see it.
"But the photojournalist who captured the photos has come forward to say that while the images look damning, they are being misconstrued.
“Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses, and that’s kind of when the whole thing happened,” Paul Ratije told KTSM News. “I didn’t ever see them whip anybody, with the thing,” he said of the reins. “He was swinging it. But I didn’t see him actually take — whip someone with it. That’s something that can be misconstrued when you’re looking at the picture.”
