In a stunning display of anti-law enforcement bias, Oregon Democrat Rep. Janelle Bynum appeared on CNN Thursday night to condemn Border Patrol agents as "terrorists" while admitting she doesn't even know the basic details of a Portland shooting incident involving suspected violent gang members.

Bynum's reckless comments came after Border Patrol agents shot two suspected members of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua during what reports indicate was a targeted operation where the suspects allegedly tried to run down federal agents with a vehicle.

But facts didn't matter to the radical Democrat congresswoman. Despite acknowledging her ignorance about what actually happened, Bynum told CNN viewers that "we know that their presence is not welcome" and accused the agents of engaging in "terrorism."

Think about that for a moment, Patriots. Federal agents risking their lives to take dangerous gang members off our streets are being labeled as terrorists by an elected official who can't even be bothered to learn what happened before rushing to judgment.

Social media users quickly called out Bynum's outrageous stance. As one Twitter user pointed out: "Nobody cares that they're not welcome. Being welcome is not a requirement." That's exactly right – Border Patrol agents don't need permission from Portland liberals to enforce federal immigration law.

Journalist Andy Ngo highlighted the absurdity, noting that Bynum "has released a statement condemning the Border Patrol shooting of two suspected violent criminal Tren de Aragua members who allegedly tried to run down agents during a targeted stop."

Another social media post revealed that Bynum's statement to federal agents was even more inflammatory, reportedly saying "Don't f*** with us" in response to the incident.

This is exactly the kind of anti-law enforcement extremism that Trump's return to power is designed to combat. While Border Patrol agents put their lives on the line to protect Americans from violent gang members, radical Democrats like Bynum are more concerned with protecting criminals than the safety of law-abiding citizens.

How can voters trust representatives who side with suspected gang members over federal law enforcement? Bynum's disgraceful comments prove once again that Democrats have chosen criminals over cops, chaos over order.

Absolutely disgusting! These Border Patrol agents risk their lives every day to protect our country and this is how Democrats thank them?

Couldn't agree more. My brother is CBP and deals with dangerous situations daily protecting ungrateful politicians like this.

This is what happens when the radical left runs out of actual arguments.

This is exactly the kind of anti-law enforcement rhetoric that's tearing our country apart. When did protecting our borders become terrorism?

UNBELIEVABLE! The real terrorists are the politicians allowing our border to be overrun while demonizing the brave men and women trying to secure it.

Living in Arizona, I see what these agents deal with firsthand. This Oregon Dem has no clue what's really happening down here.

The irony is that the real terrorism is happening at our wide-open border with drug cartels and human trafficking. But sure, blame the agents trying to stop it.

Oregon voters need to remember this come election time. Anyone who calls our border agents terrorists doesn't deserve to represent Americans.

Can someone explain how doing your job as a federal law enforcement officer makes you a terrorist? The mental gymnastics here are Olympic level.

As a veteran, this makes my blood boil. I served alongside many who later joined Border Patrol - they're patriots, not terrorists. This Oregon politician should be ashamed.

Thank you for your service! These attacks on our law enforcement and military families have gone too far.
