Ex-ICE chief blasts House Democrat after tense hearing: 'He ran out of there like a little girl'


BY JESSE BYRNES - 07/13/19 08:23 AM EDT

Former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Thomas Homan bashed Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) on Friday night after the pair clashed in a hearing earlier in the day focused on conditions at facilities near the border.

Homan appeared on Fox Business' "Lou Dobbs Tonight" to recap his congressional testimony on Friday before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which included a number of fireworks between himself and House Democrats.

Fox commentator Gregg Jarrett who interviewed Homan on the program started the segment by telling the former ICE chief that "the treatment of you was nothing short of appalling."

"Rep. Gerry Connolly from Virginia, you know he threw out dirt and wouldn't let me respond. This is about political theater. He ran out of there like a little girl. He's a coward. He didn't want to hear my response because this was all political theater," Homan said.

"This is about resisting this president, this about open borders. They don't want to hear the truth."

No paycheck for you, nazi.

Homan mouthing off about little girls running away, as a repug ICE appointee and repug politician. He knows all about chasing litte girls. He's the expert in chasing fleeing little girls.

Truly appalling optics from the repugs, who are chasing down, kidnapping and abusing little girls seeking asylum, while another huge scandal erupts about their people chasing down and trafficking little US girls to sexually assault.

They hide this double think in plain sight, openly, boldly.

Homan has the projection thing down quite well.
