Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin did not mince words Thursday morning when asked to respond to comments that degraded ICE and Border Patrol agents.
Mullin delivered a sharp rebuke of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer during a Fox News interview, calling the New York Democrat a “scumbag.”
The exchange came after Schumer spoke on the Senate floor Wednesday night.
In those remarks, Schumer criticized funding for federal immigration enforcement agencies.
He said the country did not need to increase funding for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and described them as agencies “that nobody respects in this country.”
Senator Schumer says “nobody respects” ICE and CBP agents.
These brave men and women risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe.
Democrats’ hatred towards law enforcement is disgusting.pic.twitter.com/uePZrsB3u8
