A Trump minion’s IQ shrinkingly idiotic argument about ‘ICE hysteria’ didn’t even make it to the first hurdle, let alone fall at it
Like us, you probably haven’t heard of Tricia McLaughlin. And, like us, you probably won’t be able to forget her after watching this.
McLaughlin is the Homeland Security department’s assistant secretary of public affairs and here she is making her argument that Minnesota was in the grip of ‘ICE hysteria’ following the fatal triple shooting of mum, Renee Good.
It’s only a short clip but you might have to play it more than once to relive what you’re hearing.

I mean yes, generally speaking when someone is murdered by a random person, and that person is arrested and prosecuted under the law, there are not protests in the street. Apples in fact are not oranges. https://t.co/EgaXLA9HGg

Protests are directed at government abuse of power. Individuals are held accountable through the legal system, generally not by collective punishment or street justice.

Tricia looks like Ron Burgundy’s girlfriend.
