Conservatives are celebrating Donald Trump’s decision to dispatch border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to oversee immigration enforcement operations in the Minneapolis area, in what was widely seen as an attempt to sideline Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Trump’s decision comes just two days after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. While Noem subsequently claimed that Pretti had “arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement,” footage of the incident contradicts her description of it.

On Sunday, conservative radio host Erick Erickson suggested that Pretti’s death and tense atmosphere in the Gopher State were attributable to Noem’s leadership.

    I still have to laugh at how Blondi pretends to be so offended at being asked about where that 50K is even at.

    All of these conservatives are evil and corrupt pieces of shit.
