<p>Fox News anchor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/dana-perino-says-amber-heards-today-show-interview-is-proof-her-counsel-hates-her/">Dana Perino</a> let <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/you-can-fight-and-die-for-your-country-at-18-jesse-watters-claps-back-when-geraldo-floats-juvenile-weapons-ban/">Geraldo Rivera</a> have it on Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The Five,&#8221; calling him out over his assessment of the photos — of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Agents on horseback swinging their reins — that started a social media firestorm of claims that the agents had been whipping migrants.</p>
<p>The panel addressed reports that President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration planned to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-to-discipline-border-patrol-agents-who-were-cleared-of-wrongdoing-in-whipping-incident/">discipline the agents</a> despite an investigation that had not yielded any evidence the agents had done anything wrong or even outside the scope of their normal duties — and despite conceding that the agents did not deserve to be disciplined, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/im-so-glad-hes-dead-geraldo-rivera-lays-into-school-shooter-says-this-is-sandy-hook-again/">Rivera</a> pivoted to note that the optics of the situation had been bad.</p>
<p>WATCH:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">&quot;That&#39;s so wrong! You&#39;re a lawyer, how can you say this?&quot; <a href="https://twitter.com/DanaPerino?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DanaPerino</a> gives <a href="https://twitter.com/GeraldoRivera?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GeraldoRivera</a> an earful over DHS plans to &quot;discipline&quot; CBP agents for doing their job while on horseback. <a href="https://t.co/h6chDIxN5Z">pic.twitter.com/h6chDIxN5Z</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Virginia Kruta (@VAKruta) <a href="https://twitter.com/VAKruta/status/1537200417481834497?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 15, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Perino, who grew up on a ranch, argued that from the beginning the situation had been misread by people who had never spent any time around horses and had no idea what they were looking at. &#8220;They convicted these guys before they even investigated,&#8221; she said, adding that the only thing the agents deserved — after being relegated to desk duty immediately after the incident — was an apology.</p>
<p>Co-host Jesse Watters joked that if the CBP agents had hoisted the migrants onto their horses and ridden them into the country, Biden might have given them awards instead.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nonsense! I defer to Dana, who is very measured in her emotions and when she says this is the worst thing she’d seen, I respect that deeply,&#8221; Rivera said in response. &#8220;Because I know you don’t —&#8221;</p>
<p>Perino interrupted, noting that the baby formula shortage was &#8220;really bad too.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rivera went on to claim that when it came to immigration, Haitians often seemed to get &#8220;the short end of the stick&#8221; — arguing that they were turned back at the border in greater numbers than migrants from other nations.</p>
<p>Perino objected, but Rivera pivoted then to address the Border Patrol, saying, &#8220;This is, you must admit, when you look at this visual — put up a shot, put up any of the shots of that series —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s so wrong!&#8221; Perino interrupted. &#8220;You&#8217;re a lawyer, how can you say this?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re a lawyer,&#8221; co-host Greg Gutfeld echoed.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have four grown ups, and they&#8217;re riding these big horses,&#8221; Rivera continued. &#8220;You got these people that just walked 5,000 miles —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, my God &#8230;&#8221; Perino interjected, and then everyone jumped in at once.</p>
<p>&#8220;— risking everything, and now there&#8217;s big macho guys —&#8221; Rivera tried again.</p>
<p>&#8220;How would you handle it, Geraldo?&#8221; Watters challenged.</p>
<p>&#8220;Big macho guys &#8230; you can&#8217;t even give these guys a little &#8230; you can&#8217;t apologize for being wrong on this,&#8221; Gutfeld added.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am delighted that they are not being criminally prosecuted,&#8221; Rivera said, prompting Gutfeld to fire back, &#8220;That&#8217;s not true.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t tell me what I am feeling,&#8221; Rivera objected. &#8220;You can have your opinion, but don&#8217;t have my opinion &#8230; I think this whole sorry chapter is better off in the rear view.&#8221;</p>
