Former Border Patrol Official Defends Pepper Spray Use: It’s So Natural You Can Put It On Your Nachos [VIDEO]

The Hill reports:

Former U.S. Border Patrol deputy chief Ron Colburn early Monday defended the use of pepper spray to deter migrants attempting to enter the U.S. at the Mexican border, saying it is “natural” and “you could actually put it on your nachos and eat it.”

“Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy asked Colburn, who is now president of the non-profit Border Patrol Foundation, if such measures were necessary, prompting Colburn to call the contents of the pepper spray “natural” and “a good way of deterring people without long-term harm.”
