DHS's Bovino nailed by journalist with comparison to first Grand Wizard of the KKK
According to journalist and author Garrett Graff, critics of Greg Bovino, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, are making the wrong complaint when they call the abrasive DHS official a Nazi.
A comparison to one of the founders of the Ku Klux Klan is closer to the mark, he told MS NOW’s Ali Velshi on Saturday morning.
Discussing the brutal invasion of Minneapolis were armed and masked ICE agents have been snatching immigrants and legal observers off of the streets and whisking them away in unmarked vans, Graff suggested it is not just about putative immigration arrests –– it’s about keeping the populace terrorized.
“I have been comparing Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino to –– to me, he is less of a Nazi-era Gestapo leader and more, sort of a Confederate cavalry leader like Nathan Bedford Forrest,” Graff suggested, “Where you sort of see him stage these roads on cities that then, he ultimately fails.”
“These cities do not crack and they [ICE} withdraw and they try their terror campaign on the next city,” he elaborated.
Forrest is notable for, among other things, for being the first designated Grand Wizard of the terrorist Ku Klux Klan organization.
