Like he had basically all the reporting shows.
He basically was running the department, making all the decisions.
Some of the reporting now, since the firing was announced, points out that, yes, the hearings were like the final straw.
But, you know, it's did they said according well, this is what the White House is trying to say now, but that like Trump started souring on her around the pretty and good killings and her going out and.
calling them domestic terrorists.
Again, not because Trump thinks that she was wrong to do that, but that it caused the White House all this trouble and all this political trouble and all the stories about the corruption and the Lewandowski affair apparently bothered Trump as well, which we saw in the
read about in the Wall Street Journal story about the two of them.
So, I do think it was a number of things that sort of built up to this for him.
Which, in the same way that like, if Pam Bondi gets fired at some point, we're going to be like, well, there was a whole bunch of things that led up to whatever she finally does that gets her fired if that happens.
Mark Wayne Mullen, Oklahoma senator, who, by the way, also after Alex Preddy was murdered, said that he was there to cause, you know, maximum violence or something.
Yeah, that he was there to cause maximum violence or terrorism or whatever.
He said something very similar to what Noem said and Miller.
Do you think he gets confirmed pretty easily?
And how would you advise Democrats to handle his confirmation here?
I presume it's not going to be hard to get 50 Republicans to vote for him.
Maybe they're going to get- And John Fetterman, who already said he- And John, right.
So you only need 49 Republicans, which means if she wants it, Susan Collins can take a pass on this and separate herself from it, even though that's not going to solve her political problems on ICE, and she's the one who writes the ICE funding bills.
