Trump Official: Cartels Fund Protests, Free Speech Must Go … from Crooks & Liars John Amato

Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan continued his oafish behavior by claiming Mexican drug cartels are funding anti-Trump protests across America after the massive No Kings rally was so successful over the weekend.

“So now that border’s secure, they’re hurting, so the cartels are involved with, you know, taking revenge on ICE and using internal gangs in the largest cities in this nation to attack ICE officers,” Homan said.

Americans have been protesting vociferously since Trump sent his goon squads to round up potential undocumented migrants everywhere, including Home Depot’s, kid’s soccer games and schools.

Homan confuses drug cartels with Democratic politicians to stoke more fear and hatred against the left and freedom of expression..

HOMAN: But I think it’s the cartels, but I also think it’s the rhetoric, especially from elected mayors, elected governors, and elected congresspeople, who want to compare ICE to terrorists and the Nazis, and, you know, the far fringe on the left that become violent against ICE.

They feel emboldened when a United States senator or a congressperson or a governor says ICE are Nazis and they’re racist. That emboldens them to take more action against ICE officers. And that’s why the threat’s up and the attacks are up over 1,000 percent.
