In a stunning display of anti-law enforcement prejudice, Oregon Democratic State Representative Andrea Valderrama admitted on CNN that she doesn't know what happened in a Border Patrol shooting incident – but somehow knows it was 'excessive' violence anyway.
During Thursday's broadcast of CNN's "The Story Is," Valderrama condemned Border Patrol agents for what she called "needless violence" in a shooting involving two individuals. But when pressed on how she could make such a determination without knowing the facts, the Democrat revealed the ugly truth about leftist thinking.
"They've been 'excessive' before," Valderrama essentially argued, showcasing the kind of guilty-until-proven-innocent mentality that Democrats routinely apply to law enforcement officers risking their lives to secure our border.
Peak Liberal Logic on Display
This is exactly the kind of anti-police, anti-Border Patrol sentiment that has plagued Democrat-controlled states and cities for years. Rather than waiting for facts, conducting proper investigations, or giving the benefit of the doubt to agents protecting American sovereignty, Valderrama immediately jumped to condemn the very people keeping us safe.
It's worth noting that Border Patrol agents are operating under incredibly dangerous conditions, facing armed smugglers, cartel members, and human traffickers on a daily basis. These brave men and women make split-second decisions that can mean the difference between life and death – not just for themselves, but for innocent Americans.
"I don't know what happened, but I know it was excessive." This perfectly sums up the left's approach to law enforcement.
Under President Trump's second term, Border Patrol agents finally have an administration that supports them instead of second-guessing every action they take. The Trump-Vance administration has made it clear that our border security professionals will have the backing they need to do their jobs effectively.
Oregon's Anti-Law Enforcement Problem
This incident highlights exactly why states like Oregon continue to struggle with lawlessness and disorder. When elected officials prejudge law enforcement officers without facts, it sends a clear message that criminals and lawbreakers will receive more sympathy than the heroes protecting our communities.
How can we expect Border Patrol agents to effectively secure our border when Democrat politicians are ready to throw them under the bus before the facts even come out? This is the same mentality that led to the anti-police riots and 'defund the police' madness that destroyed American cities.
