Did Trump Lie About the Attack on Border Agents in Texas?
The president and other border hawks allege two U.S. border agents were assaulted by ‘bad hombres,’ but local law enforcement, medical personnel, and family members say otherwise.

One U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed and another badly injured last week during what the FBI referred to as a “tragic incident” in southwest Texas about 110 miles east of El Paso.

The lack of available evidence, eyewitnesses, gunshot wounds, or victim testimony in the Martinez case has not dissuaded President Trump and other Republican border hawks from using the unexplained episode as an excuse to call for a heightened crackdown along the U.S.-Mexican border.
Once again President Trump showed his willingness to appropriate an American family’s tragedy for his own political gain. Just a few hours after Martinez was declared dead, POTUS took to his preferred platform for addressing the nation.
“Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!” he tweeted.
We’ve come to expect that kind of fear mongering from the man who once dubbed Mexican immigrants “criminals, drug dealers, rapists,” and, later, “bad hombres.”

Mr. Trump offered no explanation as to how well-armed border agents could be overpowered by hand. Just as purveyors of the stoning hypothesis were unable to account for the officers’ failure to return fire at their alleged attackers, or how the attackers’ managed such precise stone-throwing on a pitch black night.
Other investigators, however, have offered a much simpler theory: The reason the men were found lying at the bottom of a high-banked drainage ditch is because they fell into it in the dark.

It's a double pun, as noted by El Mimbreno.

"Lier" just isn't a word I have used, quite possibly, ever. And I cannot remember the last time I saw it, so yeah, it got me!
