While there has been a lot of conflicting information since the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, one thing has been pretty consistent: it was a Border Patrol agent who finally shot the armed madman, killing him and ending the siege. That’s what makes what Joe Biden did all the more reprehensible.
“…[A]gents from BORTAC, the Customs and Border Protection tactical unit, and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrived on the scene between noon and 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Local law enforcement asked them to wait, and then instructed HSI agents to help pull children out of the windows. The BORTAC team, armed with tactical gear, at first did not move toward the gunman. After approximately 30 minutes passed, however, the federal agents opted of their own volition to lead the “stack” of officers inside the school and take down the shooter,” reported NBC News.
According to a report from Breitbart, Border Patrol agents were initially invited to attend Joe Biden’s visit to Uvalde, Texas on Sunday. The event was to take place at a large, open-space facility, but the story the Biden administration gave for uninviting the heroes was lack of space.
Breitbart reports: “Although the meeting [was] planned at a location that can accommodate hundreds, more than 90% of the Border Patrol agents who were invited are now being told time and space are limited and they cannot attend. More than 80 Border Patrol agents, including several members of the Border Patrol’s BORTAC special response team involved in the response to the school shooting, received the invitation. Late Saturday evening, the Border Patrol was notified the President could only meet with 7 of the more than 80 agents who responded to the shooting.”
At least this Twitter user gave the Border Patrol agents the recognition they deserve: “Wow! Thank you for your heroism sir! This man is a true hero along with the other border patrol agent! Two men with a gun that did good with it! See how that works Dems?”
A source said that many Border Patrol agents had to be told they would not be allowed to attend the visit, which was a difficult task. He said, “It appears now as if this planned meeting was nothing more than a photo opportunity with the law enforcement community,” reported Breitbart.
See what kind of weapons Joe Biden wants to ban
Of course it was a photo op for the President, who will fund raise like crazy on it, for himself and for his fellow Democrats running this year. How shameful was it for Biden to uninvite these heroes on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being extremely shameful?

When minutes count, the cops are only a few hours away.
It's really sad in this case :(
If it was me, I wouldn't have wanted to meet with him to begin with.
It's still really offensive that he didn't invite them especially after they stopped the shooter.
