"Every night I go to bed, I pray for the safety and security of every Border Patrol agent, every ICE agent and I pray for everybody that we're looking for, Homan said in a clip played on Fox News on Friday morning. I don't want anybody hurt. I don't want anybody to die, that includes officers and that includes aliens and that's a stone cold fact."
"Call me what you want, I don't care, he said. Traitor! a heckler yelled. You know, I want to take questions, I'll take questions a little bit, but why don't you grow a backbone, put a Kevlar vest and a gun on your hip and go secure this border?! Homan snapped back at the heckler as the crowd cheered."
"Patrick Crusius, your everyday conservative, drove hundreds of miles to our city based on your belief that Hispanics are replacing the white race of white people and we need a scare to deter Hispanics from coming into the country, the man said. What I said was, the open border was an action, was a mess, and it was by design, Homan said."
Tom Homan spoke at a Turning Point USA event in El Paso where protesters labeled him a traitor and racist. Homan said he prays nightly for the safety and security of every Border Patrol and ICE agent and for the people they seek, asserting he does not want anyone hurt or killed, including officers and migrants. He dismissed protesters' insults and challenged hecklers, telling one to grow a backbone and secure the border himself. Homan rejected claims that his statements inspired the 2019 El Paso shooter and described the open-border situation as a deliberate mess.
