Dem Senator Insinuates Border Patrol Agents are War Criminals

With a precarious and delicate situation playing out on our southern border, the choices that we make with our language must be very careful.

The massive horde of thousands of Central American migrants in Tijuana, Mexico could be a powder keg of trouble for the United States and President Donald Trump.  Trump campaigned heavily on the idea that he would build a “big, beautiful” wall between the US and Mexico in order to hopefully funnel would-be illegal immigrants through the American naturalization process.

He has been stymied at every turn, predictably, by member of the democratic party who’ve made a hard turn toward globalism in recent decades.

Now, as Border Patrol authorities were forced to use crowd control measures to repel a “stampede” at the gates over the weekend, the left side of our political spectrum is attempting to exploit the melee to score points with their constituents.

One Senate Democrat took things a little too far.

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, tweeted Sunday that the use of tear gas against Central American migrants who attempted to enter the U.S. illegally may have been a violation of international agreements governing the use of chemical weapons — before he backtracked.

The Associated Press reported that U.S. agents shot several rounds of the gas after migrants tried to penetrate several points along the border at the San Ysidro border crossing between Tijuana, Mexico, and California. Migrants sought to squeeze through gaps in wire, climb over fences and peel back metal sheeting to enter.

In response to the reports, Schatz initially tweeted: “Tear gas across the border against unarmed families is a new low.” Approximately 45 minutes later, Schatz tweeted: “Who gave the order? Did it implement or contravene policy?” He then tweeted “WHO GAVE THE ORDER?” in all caps.

Then came the clincher:

Schatz would go on to delete the tweet above, replacing it with a far more metered message.

Senator Schatz would go on to admit in another Twitter thread that his tweet had been deleted because he “didn’t know enough” about what he was talking about.
