Border Patrol Says The Object Marjorie Taylor Greene Called 'Explosive' Was Ball Of Sand

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was fact-checked by the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol after she claimed agents had found an “explosive” near the southern border in January.

Greene highlighted her claim about this so-called threat in a question to Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz during a Wednesday Homeland Security Committee hearing in Texas. However, Ortiz didn’t clarify the matter when speaking to lawmakers. Afterward, Greene repeated her claim via a tweet, along with a picture of the alleged device, accusing “the Cartel” of “planting bombs” and “murdering Americans everyday through drugs and crime.”

Shortly afterward, Ortiz chimed in with a tweet.

“Today, I testified before the Committee on Homeland Security & it was alleged that Agents found an explosive device near the border,” he wrote, sharing the same image Greene posted. “During a Jan. briefing, leadership was notified that Agents found a duct-taped ball filled with sand that wasn’t deemed a threat to agents/public.”
