MAGA certainly is all on board with Trump's tactics and will back him, whatever.
But Trump even himself is seemingly saying,
a little uncomfortable with the optics anyway of what people are seeing on television.
Yeah, it's notable.
I mean, people have been pointing to, remember Kyle Rittenhouse, who brought an assault weapon and killed somebody at a protest in
And, you know, the Republicans and the right were very much on his side saying, you know, hey, he's just trying to police his neighborhood, essentially.
And J.D.
Vance, the now vice president, was one of the people out front talking about that.
Well, look, I just have to say politically, he's got to get everybody in his administration speaking from the same page.
same book because right now they're all over the place.
The people who are essentially in charge of ICE, Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security, advisors within the White House like Stephen Miller have been saying things like Miller said that this was a potential would-be assassin when there's absolutely no basis for that at all.
You saw Kristi Noem after Macklin Good was killed
say that she was immediately saying she was a domestic terrorist.
You know, these are the kinds of inflammatory language that's been coming from the people that Trump put in charge of these immigration efforts.
And if he's uncomfortable with that, he needs to rein people in.
I mean, I think that it's important to note that when we think about Minneapolis, of course,
It's a very liberal city.
But when you think about Minnesota writ large, yes, it's gone blue in multiple elections, but it's been very close in a few elections in the Trump era here.
And Republicans, moderate Republicans could have seen something of a surge coming on the heels of the fraud investigation in Minneapolis that the Trump administration was also pushing.
But these ICE tactics, I mean, you see what's happened here in these last couple of shootings and killings.
