Tom Homan Blames “Hate Media” For Death Threats

“I was in the first administration and I had numerous death threats, I had a security detail with me all the time. Even after I retired, the death threats continued and even after I retired as ICE director I had US marshals’ protection for a long time to protect me and my family.

“What doesn’t help is all the negative press around the president [elect] and the people he’s putting in his cabinet. Me, I’m not in the cabinet but I’ve read numerous hit pieces on me, ‘I’m a racist’, ‘I’m the father of family separation’ and all this other stuff, so the hate media doesn’t help at all because there are some nuts out there. They’ll take advantage. So that doesn’t help.

“I thought we were beyond that now that the election is finished. But now I will take that more serious after I heard what happened in the last 24 hours. I’ve always had the attitude lately that if you want some, come get some.” – Tom Homan, speaking on Fox News.
