Burgess Owens (R-UT) was overcome with emotion while speaking this week about the horrors he witnessed at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Owens spoke of the struggles he witnessed of children, including one young girl who no longer speaks because she was idly alleggang-raped. The former NFL star blasted the \u201ccomplicit media\u201d and the Biden-Harris administration for neglecting to see those suffering as \u201chumans,\u201d but as a political \u201cstrategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt breaks my heart to see these young people, sitting on the floor \u2026&nbsp;These \u2014,\u201d Owens started to say as he was overcome with emotion. \u201cI have 15 grandkids; I have one autistic grandson. To see these young babies sitting on the floor \u2014 to see this one young girl, autistic, seven-years-old, and the entire time we\u2019re there, she had tears in her eyes the entire time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we have people in D.C. who couldn\u2019t care less when they see a three and five-year-old girl dropped from a fourteen-foot high wall, when they see a nine-year-old young boy abandoned,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard a story last night,\u201d Owens recalled. A young girl, he said, cannot speak anymore because of the trauma she faced while being gang-raped. \u201cThese are the stories that we\u2019re not being told. And we have a complicit media, who refuses to talk about this journey, this magnet, of these young girls and boys \u2014 many will not make it, many will never talk to their parents again \u2026 because we have an administration that does not look at these people as people, but as a strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CNaVdSqnSdo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" readability=\"-8.68\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Owens made similar comments this week in Texas following his border visit, emphasizing his disgust for the Biden-Harris administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo President Biden and Vice President Harris: Get some backbone,\u201d he blasted the Democrats, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/burgess-owens-tells-biden-harris-to-get-some-backbone-visit-border-region\">according<\/a> to Fox News. \u201cGet some compassion.
