Steve Bannon's reporter slams Trump after Minnesota ICE withdrawal: 'Sheer incompetence'

Reporter Neil McCabe told MAGA influencer Steve Bannon that President Donald Trump could be guilty of "sheer incompetence" after he ordered border czar Tom Homan to end the anti-immigration surge in Minnesota.

"Tom Homan's a good man. And he was put in, obviously, in a tough situation," Bannon said after Homan announced the withdrawal of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. "Let's be blunt, this is a color revolution. It's not; these are not like peaceful protesters. That was not their whole focus; their whole focus was to surge in, the Marxist jihadist was to surge in, and to kind of break the spirit of ICE and Customs and Border."

"And here we're announcing that, and President Trump, I think, is trying to show that he's prepared to accommodate and negotiate," he continued. "And Tom Homan is a good man, and he's trying to do it, but that's just not going to wash."

"Trust me, they're going to spike the football all day on MSN and all day on CNN. This is like first Fallujah... And what we need is a second Fallujah."

According to Bannon, Democrats were going to "win elections" if Trump failed to follow through with mass deportations.

"First thought is that this all has to be seen in the context of the Homeland Security bill," McCabe asserted. "That bill expires Friday. It should also be seen in the context of the White House pulling National Guard out of different blue cities."

"I have to believe that Homan's decision, approved by the president, to pull out of Minnesota, was somehow tied to a compromise that's in place for the Homeland Security Bill."

"Otherwise, it's just sheer incompetence that you would offer something like this without getting anything in return, Steve," he added.
