As a journalist, I have concerns about how using words could result in "actions and consequences."
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

When exactly did Congress authorize Border Patrol to start occupying American cities with brute force because the federal government deemed its officials guilty of "collusion and corruption"?
Also, if that's what he's looking for, I have some staggering news about his bosses in Washington.

Bovino: "Choosing or making a choice is one of the only true freedoms any of us really have ... when as a politician you choose collusion & corruption as a choice, then there are consequences and actions that take place because of that. That's one reason CBP & ICE are here in Mpls by the thousands."

They’re stopping WIC payments.
WIC provides nutrition (& healthcare) to pregnant women & children under 5.
Despite being massively underutilized, >50% of all US babies rely on WIC.
Every $1 spent on prenatal WIC benefits saves >$3 in healthcare expenses (mostly to taxpayers) in the 1st yr of life

Trump's claim that Liz Cheney "could be in trouble" based on that bogus House GOP report wrecks the spin from GOP Senators that Kash Patel won't use FBI to target enemies. They should now be hounded on what a vote to confirm him really means.
