'Deadly mistakes': Trump border czar gets pummeled on-air for shrugging ICE answers

A high-ranking official in President Donald Trump's administration was subjected to ridicule and scorn Sunday after he struggled to answer basic questions.CNN anchor Dana Bash asked White House Border Czar Tom Homan about Immigration Control and Enforcement officers in Texas and Maine who fatally shot unarmed fathers this month. "Do you know specifically what happened to the officers involved in the Texas and Maine shootings?" Bash asked. "Are they on administrative leave?""I don't know, specifically," he said. "The policy would be to put them on administrative leave."Bash pressed, "But as border czar, you don't know for sure if they have been?"Homan shrugged and said, "No."Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, was killed during a traffic stop in Texas on July 7 — FBI claims that he had drugs in his car were later disproved.Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, 25, was fatally shot in Maine on July 13 by an ICE agent identified in reports as David Brouillette, an Army veteran whose two ex-wives have accused him of abuse.Bash quizzed Homan on this point. "One of the ICE officers connected to the fatal shooting in Maine was accused of abuse by two ex-wives…Should someone with those issues be an ICE agent?" asked Bash.Homan replied, "No, if those are facts, I don't think he should have ever cleared vetting."Homan's admissions of ignorance stunned onlookers who expected greater detail from an official who oversees Trump's mass deportation initiative."If Tom Homan doesn't know he should be fired on the spot," replied X user Craig Carl. "This is a blatant lie or gross incompetence.""ICE has vetting?" political commentator Mike Bates quipped. "Who knew!""Feckless lying stupid sack of s---," fumed Lizzie Cochrane.Even Bash joined in on the bashing, as video shows, when Homan declared, "I wouldn't say that mistakes were made.""We've seen with our own eyes that mistakes were made," she said. "Deadly mistakes were made. At least 5 of them."

Trump escalates attacks on Kaitlan Collins with new AI-slop jab

President Donald Trump escalated his multi-day spat with CNN's Kaitlan Collins Sunday, sharing an edited image depicting her as Dylan Mulvaney – building on his earlier claim that the anchor resembles the transgender influencer.On Friday at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Trump said that Collins bore a resemblance to Mulvaney, who was subjected to a right-wing fury over a 2023 Bud Light promotional partnership.“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship," he said. "but then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney.”Trump also told Collins to smile more. "She's a young, attractive woman," Trump told the crowd. "She never smiles. I said, 'Kaitlan do you ever smile? Smile!' You have a nice position; you're at CNN fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan! Just smile."On Saturday, Collins appeared to indirectly address Trump on social media, sharing the following quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”While it’s unclear if Trump had seen Collins' post, the CNN anchor was clearly still on Trump’s mind.On Sunday shared an image that appears to be a screengrab from Mulvaney’s Bud Light promotional video, only with Mulvaney digitally replaced with a depiction of Collins, potentially with generative artificial intelligence.
