Trump's Border Czar Melts Down When Confronted At Event - The Logical Leftist



Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, was heckled and called a traitor and a racist at a Turning Point USA event — and his meltdown said it all. When confronted over rhetoric tied to the El Paso mass shooting, Homan didn’t offer facts or calm rebuttal. He raged, challenged the heckler to “put on a Kevlar vest,” and threatened to jail anyone who “impedes” ICE or Border Patrol. This is what happens when an unaccountable deportation bureaucrat gets drunk on power and applause.

This is what authoritarianism looks like at the ground level. It’s not abstract. It’s a man in a suit openly fantasizing about jailing critics, pushing racist conspiracy theories he admits he can’t prove, and treating civil liberties as obstacles to be crushed — all in the name of “border security.”
