Good for the bouncers at the Bottled Blonde on the Vegas Strip. They recognize rough trade when they see it and they put it in the street. Maybe we should put the bouncers in charge of Homeland Security and see if they can work their magic there. At least nobody got killed when Greg Bovino was in the club which is more than we can say for when he was in the streets of Minneapolis. Daily Beast:
Border Patrol’s commander is developing a habit of getting kicked out of places where he’s worn out his welcome.
Just days after Gregory Bovino, CBP’s “commander-at-large,” was pulled out of Minnesota by President Donald Trump, after overseeing a violent street immigration sweep that last month led to the fatal shootings of two Americans, he was kicked out of a Las Vegas bar to keep its patrons safe.
The Daily Beast revealed on Wednesday how Bovino, 55, had been in Sin City for what appeared to be a boozy night out after Trump, 79, stripped him of his role fronting Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
The Minneapolis crackdown saw his self-styled “Green Machine” unit of masked and armed agents storm city streets, rough up protesters, and leave two Americans—unarmed mom Renee Nicole Good and VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti, both 37—dead.
“Bottled Blonde does not engage in political activity or affiliations. As a private business, Bottled Blonde reserves the right to refuse service to any patron at its discretion,” the venue said in a statement.
“Upon becoming aware of the individual’s presence, the patron was asked to leave the premises and was escorted out by staff in accordance with venue policy to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all patrons.”
You have to be pretty wild to attract the attention of a bouncer at a bar on the Strip. But Bovino has a big mouth and he likes to throw his weight around. And he may have been able to do so in uniform but Vegas is a different situation altogether. Vegas wants people to have a good time and spend money and you have to be pretty obnoxious to where the decision is made that your presence and your money are overided by your obnoxious personality. Evidently Bovino reached that place.
WOOHOO! I LOVE VEGAS!!! Whether Bovino did it to himself (likely) or whether he really was recognized by someone, he deserves what he got! I’d like to see Krispie Gnome ride into that bar All Hat and No Brains and pull her act. She should be bounced too!
Too much for Vegas?
Wow, this guy must really be an asshole.
It’s never been a good idea to make enemies in Vegas, Greg.
