Brian Kilmeade, the co-host of Donald Trump’s favorite morning talk show Fox & Friends, repeatedly implored the president on Monday morning to send border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to “settle things down” amid the growing public outrage over the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.
Before Fox & Friends signed off that morning, it appeared the president had heeded the advice of his TV pals. “I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,” Trump declared on Monday, adding that “Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.”
