In a stunning display of weak-kneed liberalism that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the Obama-era approach to national security, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson actually went on Fox News to argue that revoking citizenship from terrorists is too much of a bureaucratic hassle.

Johnson's appalling comments came during Friday's broadcast of "America's Newsroom" as he discussed the recent terrorist attack at Old Dominion University. The attack was carried out by a naturalized citizen who had previously been convicted of supporting terrorists – yet somehow Johnson thinks this monster deserves to keep his American citizenship because the paperwork might be too complicated.

"It's very cumbersome to take away citizenship," Johnson whined, adding that he'd "rather the suspect be in jail." This is the same mindset that allowed our enemies to flourish under eight years of Obama-Biden weakness, and it's exactly why President Trump's America First agenda is so desperately needed.

The Deep State's Terrorist-Friendly Policies EXPOSED

Think about the sheer audacity here, Patriots. A man who was supposed to protect the American people is literally on television making excuses for why we can't strip citizenship from convicted terrorist supporters who then go on to commit acts of terror on American soil. This isn't just bureaucratic incompetence – this is willful endangerment of innocent Americans.

"This is exactly the kind of administrative state thinking that President Trump is dismantling with his second-term agenda."

Under the Trump-Vance administration, we're seeing a complete reversal of this dangerous thinking. While Obama's DHS Secretary worried about paperwork, President Trump is focused on results – mass deportations, secure borders, and putting America first in every decision.

Johnson's comments reveal the fundamental difference between the MAGA movement and the establishment swamp creatures who enabled our enemies for decades. They see "cumbersome" processes where real Americans see justice and national security.

How many more attacks could have been prevented if we had leaders who prioritized American lives over administrative convenience? The answer should terrify every patriotic American – and motivate us to support President Trump's efforts to drain the swamp once and for all.

Does anyone know what the actual legal process is for this? I'd like to understand what makes it so 'cumbersome' - sounds like we need to streamline these laws ASAP.

So let me get this straight - it's too much paperwork to strip citizenship from terrorists, but they had no problem weaponizing the IRS against conservative groups?

This is exactly why Trump won in 2016. Americans are tired of weak leadership that coddles our enemies while making excuses.

And why he'll win again! People see through this soft-on-terror nonsense.

Absolutely ridiculous! If someone commits acts of terror against America, they've already forfeited their right to citizenship. The fact that Obama's DHS chief thinks protecting our nation is too 'cumbersome' tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.

Exactly right Mike. These people put bureaucratic convenience over national security every single time.

As someone who served overseas fighting these animals, this makes my blood boil. My buddies didn't die so we could worry about hurting terrorists' feelings back home. Strip their citizenship and deport them immediately.
