Joy Reid of MSNBC was reportedly referred to as “dumber than a box of rocks” by Trump border czar Tom Homan after she attacked his and President Donald Trump’s deportation policy.
On Tuesday, Homan appeared on Fox News with Jesse Watters and responded to a video of Reid and New York Attorney General Letitia James criticizing ICE’s recent practice of unlawfully detaining foreign nationals.
James referred to the federal government as reckless, while Reid accused the Trump administration of conducting “performative raids.”
This week, James declared that she would be suing the Trump administration for a federal spending freeze.
Homan maintained that James, Reid, and others will not “stop” the deportations, claiming that ICE is “saving children.”
“She’s dumber than a box of rocks. Bottom line is, let’s talk about Chicago for a minute. Chicago mayor says that we put fear in the elementary schools because ICE agents went to an elementary school, total false story. What ICE did in Chicago is saved children. What we did in New York today is save children.” Homan said.
“Just in Chicago alone, we arrested at least nine sexual predators, most of them child sex predators. We took them off the street. We took them off the street in New York today. We’re protecting the community. We’re saving children. We’re going to secure that border so less Americans die of fentanyl deaths. We’re securing the border so less women and children are sex trafficked.” he added.
“The Biden administration has 600% increase in sex trafficking. We’re securing the border so less terrorists and people on the terrorist watch list get into the country. Under Biden, we had a 3,500% increase in people on terrorist watch lists. No, we’re saving this nation. We make America safe again. So they need to get out of the way because we’re coming. We’re going to do it. They’re not going to stop us.” Homan concluded.
