Brandon Judd: ’I’ve Never Seen the Morale Any Lower than It Is Right Now’

Despite the fact that President Joe Biden has been in office only eight-and-a-half months, his policies have had a remarkably negative impact on the morale of the Border Patrol, according to National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd.

During an interview with Mobile, AL radio’s FM Talk 106.5 at the annual Federation for American Immigration Reform’s annual “Hold Their Feet to the Fire” event, Judd, whose organization is the Border Patrol’s union, stated he had by no means seen morale any lower than right now and blamed Biden directly.

“The ebbs and flows are insane,” Judd stated. “I began my career under President Clinton. Now, I’m with Biden, sadly. But yeah — I’ve by no means seen the morale any lower than it is right now. When you’ve got a president who’s willing to throw his employees under the bus for doing what he ordered them to do, that’s crazy. However he did that because he needed to deflect from his failures on what’s happening on the border right now.”

“He’s completely and totally failed the American public,” he continued. “And because of that, he needed to find a scapegoat. And he did that to the horse patrol due to a couple cherry-picked pictures that didn’t depict exactly what was happening and have since been debunked. Even The New York Times issued a retraction — not just whip, they issued that no one was struck. The photographer himself came out and stated no one was hit with anything — whip, reins, it doesn’t matter. No one was hit, and, of course, President Biden stated that they ran them over with the horses, and he stated they are going to pay. That’s completely and totally ridiculous.”

When asked if Judd thought the low Border Patrol morale topped stages of the Obama presidency, Judd stated it had.

“Oh yeah, by far,” he replied. “Nothing even comes close to this.”
