Journo Asks The ‘Old Law’ Question To Homan… Instantly Regrets It
Homan is exactly the kind of man Trump wanted to run this job
Journos keep following the old scripts, trying to scare Republicans into complacency. They haven’t yet gotten the memo that the game has changed completely.
Tom Homan is nothing like the sort of GOP appointee journos of yesteryear set up with ‘do you still beat your wife’ trap questions.
The media flunkies are the same old stale routine. They still ask the questions that are intended to scare the interviewee into complacency, intimidate them into rubbing the rough edges off of a ‘contoversial’ policy (‘controversial’, of course, as deemed by the standards of the coastal chattering class).
But something has changed since Trump came down that golden elevator. Instead of just a few stalwarts like Ted Cruz going toe to toe with media and beating them at their own game, Trump set a precedent of publicly humiliating them on their own turf again and again and again.
The press are no different than the Wizard of Oz. The SEEM to have the power to destroy their victims, but in reality, they have no more power than such power as we give them.
Not only did he stand up, he has inspired a whole crew of other voices to do the same. Better still, he went looking for people who were already wired with that temperment, and put them in positions of responsiblity. They are exactly the kind of people who cannot be bullied by media types.
When some journo picked up the ‘zombie law’ talking point about Trump using a 200yo law to send foreign-born criminals off to El Salvadore, where both countries benefit from the transaction, Tom Homan doesn’t get panicky. He doesn’t break a sweat.
He looks the journo right in the eye and gives him a pitch-perfect answer that no serious person can refute.
He makes his point, grins, and walks away.
If that wasn’t enough to kick the hornets’ nest, how about another media interaction. This time, on the topic of the flights themselves he answers a friendly media face from FoxNews who seems a little flabbergasted about the long odds Homan has stacked against him. Homan does not share Lawrence’s nervous apprehension.
Nope. Not one little bit.
Cue the Thug Life music.
