Gregory Bovino, the former leader of President Donald Trump’s Customs and Border Protection force, lashed out at a MAGA Trump official on Monday after he received a stinging rebuke.
Earlier in the day, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin was asked about Bovino’s recent criticisms of how he’s managing the department, amid protests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in New Jersey. Mullin claimed he didn’t know who Bovino was and, even if he did, his comments were “irrelevant.”
Bovino was asked about Mullin’s comments during an interview on Newsmax.
“He’s made reference to me before; he certainly knows me,” Bovino said. “If that’s what he wants to say, then terrific.”
He then launched into one of his rehearsed lines.
“Look, I’m for the American people. I’m for mass deportations. And if that is irrelevant, then I’m guilty,” Bovino said.
Bovino’s comments came at a time when protests outside of Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey had reached the end of their second week. Protesters have been speaking out against conditions inside the facility, and some Democratic lawmakers have called for the facility to be shut down.
