Speaking to a local outlet in Texas on Saturday, Paul Ratje said he did not see any use of the horse reigns as whips against illegal Haitian migrants.<\/p>\n<p>Several prominent Democrats and people in the media condemned Border Patrol based on unfounded reports the migrants were whipped. Even Joe Biden himself condemned the agents by saying there would be \u201cconsequences\u201d after an investigation.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ratje, his photos have been misconstrued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t ever see them whip anybody. He was swinging it, but I didn\u2019t see him actually take, whip someone with it so,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo, it\u2019s something that can be really misconstrued when you\u2019re looking at a picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden\u2019s rhetoric has been tougher on border patrol agents than the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
