Scott Jennings: Tom Homan’s Press Conference Was a ‘Masterclass,’ President Made a ‘Smart Decision’

‘No president wants to see chaos in any city for any reason’
By Grabien Staff

TRANSCRIPT:

JENNINGS: "Yeah, I thought Homan‘s press conference this morning was a master class, and it‘s obvious that the president made a smart decision in sending him there to reset this situation. I think the president -- no president wants to see chaos in any city for any reason. I mean, that‘s not good for the country. It‘s not good for a presidency. Homan has clearly already made a huge difference. He met with the local officials. This agreement that he has, apparently with the Attorney General, Ellison, about working, to Elie's point, with the county jails, that‘s one of the things the White House has been asking for, is some cooperation at the jails. This is clearly a step in the right direction. Now, as you pointed out, Abby, he‘s still very much an immigration hardliner. And even though they are going to prioritize people who have other criminal issues, he said, 'If you‘re in the country illegally, you‘re never off the table.' And so he was also still signaling to the president‘s supporters that, 'Listen, we‘re not backing down on the president‘s priorities on illegal immigration.' He also said today that he was very much aware of these organizations that are going on, these Signal groups, these Whatsapp groups that are trying to organize the impeding of federal law enforcement. And he said he was very much looking into that. He was clearly very aware of that. I think that was good news. So, overall, I agree with Elie, this was clearly a — if you believe that having less chaos and more efficiency in government and more cooperation is good, today was clearly a great day."
