Disclaimer: This is LONG. This guy. How do we even describe him anymore? He believes he is *always* right. He believes his *people* are always right, even when the evidence says completely the opposite. Now, it seems, he and his moron thugs have open season and can grab anyone they want to, do what they want to, and then either throw them outside the gate, or they just disappear. Yesterday and today’s essay (ha) is from multiple articles. Some have been mostly copied over, some only a bit. It’s disturbing to see this many articles about him. This is not a good sign. All are from Raw Story:
Five (He has been ordered OUT of Minneapolis!)
Here’s something to start you off: “Someone might want to take Greg Bovino’s phone away from him,” wrote Max Steele, the senior communications director for a Florida-based gun safety advocacy organization, in a social media post on X. “He’s spending his afternoon picking fights with GOP Senators, GOP House members, and gun owners on twitter.”
Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino has made several startling statements in the wake of the deadly Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti Saturday, though one in particular was singled over the weekend by the Minnesota Department of Corrections as being blatantly untrue. Speaking to NewsNation, Bovino said that ahead of the fatal shooting of Pretti – who was pepper sprayed, beaten and shot several times – Border Patrol officers were conducting an operation to arrest Jose Huerta-Chuma, who Bovino said had a criminal history including domestic assault, The Hill reported Sunday.
The Minnesota Department of Corrections, however, soon released a statement refuting Bovino’s claim, citing its own records that showed Huerta-Chuma had no criminal history in the state. Furthermore, the agency revealed that Huerta-Chuma had been apprehended by federal immigration officials during President Donald Trump’s first administration, and was subsequently released.
See what I mean? Mr. Pretti apparently interfered in an operation to arrest someone who *had already been vetted*. The Department of Corrections certainly would know! Bovino couldn’t even get his facts straight, neither for Mr. Huerta-Chuma OR Mr. Pretti! So now that we’re looking for facts, let’s hop over to the other article for a few moments.
Customs and Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino stunned an analyst on Sunday after what the analyst described as “one of the most Orwellian” Sunday morning interviews in recent memory. Bovino joined CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” on Sunday morning, where the two discussed the recent killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, who was shot by CBP agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. During the interview, Bovino said the CBP agents were the real victims in the affair, and told a narrative about the event that Sam Stein, managing editor for The Bulwark, found completely unbelievable given the evidence available in the public domain.
Stein responded to Bovio’s CNN interview in a new video on The Bulwark’s YouTube channel. “This morning, Bovino went on CNN with Dana Bash to talk about the incident, and it was honestly one of the more Orwellian interviews I’ve seen in a long time on a Sunday show,” Stein said. “Basically, he asked you to just ignore your own eyes.”
Other notable remarks made by Bovino in the wake of Pretti’s killing include his assertion – made without providing evidence – that Pretti “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” and that the actual “victims” of the altercation were the Border Patrol agents who killed Pretti.
EDIT: Found it! Bovino gets very huffy on the show.
Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino refused to answer CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday after being pressed about a key detail in Saturday’s deadly federal immigration shooting.
Bash didn’t let up, however, and directed Bovino’s attention to the video that appears to show Pretti being disarmed by a federal immigration officer.
“We’re not going to adjudicate that here on TV in one freeze frame!” Bovino fired back.
Bash continued, first by correcting Bovino that a video was “not a freeze frame,” and second by asking that he watch the video in question again.
“We don’t know that agent was taking any gun away!” Bovino insisted. “That could have been the agent’s because we don’t know that! The facts are going to come to light.”
‘What I say happened is correct, and don’t look at any of the videos that people made while watching.’ He doesn’t see a problem! So, now that I’ve shot up my blood pressure again, time to close. Next time will be more talking and less quoting. Thank you for your patience. See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
I see that asshole Bovino in his little green uniform and the Sam Browne belt, no doubt wanting to evoke the image of a Nazi brown shirt. I wonder if he whines behind the scenes about not getting to wear khaki instead of green? Or not being able to put a Swastika, and a KKK cross emblem too on that outfit?
Word is he’s been ordered out of Minnesota and Tom Homan is going to take over things there. It’s said that will be the beginning of winding things down but I’m not holding my breath. Time will tell.
Yes, he likely *does* whine in private, and a LOT. He doesn’t think it’s easy to see what he wants to do. Heh, but it is.
I also saw that bit of news. I’m not sure if Tom Homan will be any better. It seems that ICE and CBP have been unleashed and Minnesota is going to have one helluva fight on their hands. I hope, as you, that the situation will de-escalate. I’m not holding my breath. *sigh*
Dress like a nazi, act like a nazi, lie like a nazi, talk like a nazi, BEHAVE like a nazi?
It’s impossible to not make the obvious conclusion.
Yes, sir! That is *exactly* correct! It’s so disturbingly similar to him.
He is a Nazi. Google search his name & Nazi salute. I do think know how to post the picture. please someone post it.

I was trying to find that and must not have done the search correctly. Then I ran across this one. If he gets in the news enough that I want to scream about it (again) I’ll find it them.
