Circular Firing Squad Forms Between DHS, White House

 

The finger-pointing and blame-shifting between the murderous incompetents at DHS =cough= "Ice Barbie" Kristi Noem =cough= and the murderous incompetents at the White House =cough= Stephen "Peewee Goebbels" Miller =cough= has apparently begun.  We're hoping for mass casualties:

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is chalking up her actions in office to the direction of President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller.

Noem, Miller, and others in the administration have faced backlash over their description of the circumstances surrounding federal agents shooting and killing 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. Noem and others claimed Pretti wanted to “massacre” agents before the confrontation. Administration officials have pointed to the fact that Pretti was armed as proof of his malicious intentions, but Second Amendment activists have consistently pushed back against this.

Pretti’s death followed an ICE agent shooting and killing 37-year-old mother Renee Good in the same city earlier this month. The city is currently suing the administration over ICE’s deployment.

Miller previously referred to Pretti as an “assassin.”  [snip]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called Miller one of the president’s closest allies amid rumors of a rift between Noem and Miller.

“Stephen Miller is one of President Trump’s most trusted and longest-serving aides. The president loves Stephen,” she said.

“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” Noem reportedly said to someone who relayed her comment to Axios.

The report from Axios suggests there was a great amount of confusion surrounding Pretti’s death in the White House. Officials told the outlet that Border Patrol officers told the White House that Pretti brandished a gun before being shot, but this claim is contradicted by video evidence. Some White House officials reportedly took issue with the official statement going out, as they were not briefed on all of the details surrounding the shooting before it was published.

“Others within the White House attempted to clean up the DHS statement prior to it being sent, but it had already been disseminated,” a source familiar with the situation told Axios.

Translation from the original German:  "I was just following orders."

Calls for ICE Barbie to resign or be impeached over her handling of the brutal DHS actions across the country, but specifically following the murders in Minneapolis of Renee Nicole Good and (premeditated murder of?) Alex Pretti, have mounted in the past 48 hours.  The demonstrable, vicious lies both she and "Commandant" Greg "Little Man Looking for a Balcony" Bovino, with the encouragement of Peewee Goebbels, backfired to the extent that the monster moron responsible for all of this killing and mayhem -- the Malignant Fascist -- has tried to turn down the temperature by sending "border czar" Tom Homan to Minnesota and giving Bovino the jackboot out of Minnesota (and into retirement?).  

Of course, what's really needed, but won't happen (now), is for ICE to be abolished, the Border Patrol purged, and the fascist killers and and everyone in the chain of command to be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.
