The president’s favorite TV network still has some sway with the Oval Office.
On Monday morning, Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade floated a novel idea on air: solve the collapsing environment in Minnesota by introducing border czar Tom Homan into the situation. Kilmeade mentioned the idea at 6:15 a.m., again an hour later, and then a third time at 8:10 a.m.
As CNN’s Brian Stelter put it, “maybe [Donald] Trump was watching, maybe he wasn’t,” but just 20 minutes after Kilmeade’s third suggestion, Trump followed his advice and announced Homan’s imminent involvement in the North Star State. Shortly afterward, it appeared that Customs and Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino—who had until Monday overseen ICE and CBP activity in Minnesota—was getting the shove.
Homan’s inclusion appears to be a Hail Mary by the White House to salvage a highly advertised immigration crackdown that has turned sour for even the most conservative of Republicans.
The GOP has balked at the national backlash to ICE’s violence in Minnesota, which so far has involved the senseless killing of two U.S. citizens: Veterans Affairs ICU nurse Alex Pretti and award-winning poet Renée Nicole Good.
In the aftermath of their deaths, thousands of Americans have taken to the streets in protest. Trump’s job score has nosedived, hitting a net approval of -19 percent. In an attempt to pivot ahead of midterms, Trump is headed to Iowa Tuesday to reframe his administration’s priorities. Suddenly, the word of the day is “affordability,” with the president set to give a speech on energy and the economy while the White House decides what to do with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
The country, by all means, appears fed up with the reality of Trump’s immigration agenda, which has thus far deported people from the U.S. without due process, ripped children from their parents, and ushered thousands of untrained ICE agents into cities and neighborhoods where they are not wanted. A CBS News poll published days before agents killed Pretti found that 61 percent of surveyed Americans felt that ICE agents were “too tough” when stopping and detaining people.
On air, Kilmeade implored Trump to display calm leadership, reading aloud a New York Post editorial (another Rupert Murdoch-owned entity) positing that the American left will utilize the situation in Minneapolis to instigate a “civil war.”
“The bottom line is, these images are not the ones that are going to help you keep the majorities,” Kilmeade said Monday.
