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.
It’s not. They are both very old relics.
Completely opposite in many ways, but regarding criteria for the 25th? They are very, very similar and this problem exists throughout our government.
If you want to know why it’s a problem: a representative government should roughly reflect population demographics. I will leave it as an exercise for the reader to compare the US federal government to its constituency.
Please list for me the comparable criteria other than just age.
