Madame Secretary, why are you on TV stoking irrational fears about immigrants when there are pipe bombs being planted all over the place? I beg you - do your job. Protect us first, do your boss’s bidding later.

Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen

@SecNielsen
This evening, I'll be joining @marthamaccallum on @TheStoryFNC to discuss the crisis at our southern border and how @DHSgov is working to defend our nation.

Unfortunately there’s really no such thing as a “tough tweet.”

I mean, it’s a tweet...

Pretty sure he can multitask.

Care to tell us why the arrows against one of our most outspoken Senators over a tweet critiquing a trump acolyte? I don’t get it.

It's cute, and make s a fun headline for a moment, but it's not a substantive act.

It's cute, and makes one feel more clever, but there's no objective evidence to support it.

will be brain dead -- and I'm talking about November 6 and every goddam election thereafter. if you vote for a Republican, you vote for a person whose political party affiliation is racist, bigoted, war mongering, and kleptocratic -- and did I mention using the sexual abuse of imprisoned children as a legitimate means of controlling our Southern border?

I just voted straight Democrat -- despite the fact that I've been impressed with our Republican Governor and County Executive. Why didn't I vote for them? Because they are still dancing at the same party as Steven King, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Jefferson Sessions, Richard Spencer, and David Duke.

If they change their Party affiliation, I might reconsider. Some so-called "good Nazis" left the Party because of the obvious ugliness of Hitler, his associates, and the Nazi programs of hate, violence, murder, and genocide -- and thereby saved their souls.

Genocide? You think I'm overstating the case against the GOP? The DHS secretary just said, publicly, that there are no plans "now" to shoot-to-kill the "caravan" refugees. Not now, but maybe later . . . ?

Vote!
