Former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan said early Thursday that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is "disgusting" while blaming her for the partial government shutdown, now in its 27th day.
"Tom, what do you make of Nancy Pelosi asking the president, 'Hey, put on hold the State of the Union because of security.' [But] the Department of Homeland Security came out and said, 'We're ready,' " asked "Fox & Friends" co-host Steve Doocy. "You used to be in that department. What do you say to Nancy Pelosi?"
"She's disgusting," Homan responded to applause from the morning program's studio audience.
"Because she's scared to death that a president is going to speak straight to the American people more than 8 minutes," the former Homeland Security officer later continued. "And explain there is a crisis on the border."
"If Nancy Pelosi saw what I saw in the 34 years of my career, maybe she'd have a different attitude," Homan added before sharing stories about people dying while trying to reach the U.S. due to a lack of border security in some areas.
Pelosi asked President Trump in a letter on Wednesday to delay or put in writing his annual State of the Union address until after the government reopens, citing security concerns for the annual event in the House Chamber.
“Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government re-opens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29th,” Pelosi wrote in the letter to Trump.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen later pushed back on Pelosi later, stating her agency is "fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union" on Jan. 29.
In other news, water is wet.
Who could have guessed...
Of course, putting foreigners ahead of US citizens is disgusting.
That includes nearly all Democrats and most Republicans.
President Trump and a handful of Congress side with the citizens and the rule of law.
Nancy Pelosi is way below the hull-crushing depth of ‘disgusting.’
I love this guy. A shame he had to retire.
Well they do get to do the Democrat Response.
...come to think of it, that didn’t go over very well 2 weeks ago.
Homan must be a Jedi Knight because he read my mind..
You can smell her long before you see her ?
I read some comments on a Twitter feed supporting President Trump and blasting Pelosi as disgusting. One comment stuck with me, where she was referred to as
Nasty Pee
Yup, she is disgusting as nasty pee.
The vile Botoxian is disgusting????
Who knew?......LMAO.
I love this guy.
Hmm...
"Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over..."
We are informed that the two statements are not related. Otherwise, you know, I might have been suspicious...
The House Chambers are quite secure, it has those immoral walls that don’t work though /s.
Think they will rerun the Chuck and Nancy show in response to the State of the Union??
I would love to see it, but their previous prune face performance did not help their cause, let’s be honest.
Why was Pelosi getting ready to fly all over the planet if the government shut down here at home is such a big alarming priority?
Wouldn’t any leader just cancel the trip until it was resolved?

In this instance, and others, watching her operate, Nazi has likely been told she is the president's "equal" and should act accordingly.
She shows no deference to the president......acts like she's in charge of everything.
That's where she's making BIG mistake.
Trump will cut her down........in more ways than one.
Pelosi is taking on the wrong guy.
Regarding the Chuck & Nancy show ... DJT Jr. cracked me up with this (last sentence):
Donald Trump Jr.
Jan 16
Does Nancy Pelosi not want another chance to respond to @realDonaldTrump? Surely her response can’t be worse than last time. Did we buy the second podium yet Chuck?
