A radical Democrat congresswoman is facing massive backlash after launching a shocking attack on federal law enforcement, accusing U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents of "state-sponsored terrorism" following a shooting incident in Portland on Thursday.
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.) made the explosive accusation against federal authorities in a statement that has conservatives and law enforcement supporters outraged. When pressed about her inflammatory rhetoric and whether it could incite violence against federal agents, Bynum doubled down, telling reporters she "stands by what she said."
The incident involved what appears to be a Tren de Aragua attempted car ramming, according to investigative journalist Andy Ngo, who posted on social media: "Portland-area congresswoman Janelle Bynum is asked about inciting violence against federal agents after the Tren de Aragua attempted car ramming incident by calling federal agents terrorists in the incident. She says she stands by what she said."
"This is just the kind of democrat bullshit that gets people killed," one Twitter user responded to news of Bynum's attack on federal agents.
The timing couldn't be more tone-deaf. As President Trump's administration works to secure our borders and remove dangerous criminals through proper deportation operations, Democrats like Bynum are actively undermining federal law enforcement doing their jobs.
Conservative voices on social media were quick to call out the hypocrisy. "Dem Rep. Bynum: Don't Know Details of Portland Shooting, Know Border Patrol Engaging in 'Terrorism' - ENFORCING FEDERAL LAW IS NOT TERRORISM!" posted one user, highlighting the absurdity of attacking agents before even knowing the facts.
This is the same dangerous rhetoric that has put targets on the backs of ICE agents, Border Patrol officers, and other federal law enforcement personnel simply trying to enforce immigration law and protect American communities from criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua.
When will Democrats be held accountable for their reckless attacks on the men and women keeping our country safe? Bynum's refusal to apologize shows just how far the radical left will go to obstruct Trump's America First agenda.
