Disgraced Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino has embarked on a bizarre social media charm offensive that almost immediately spiraled into a trainwreck.
The 55-year-old had been shut out of his X account last month after President Donald Trump cast him out of Minnesota in the wake of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti’s killing by Border Patrol agents. He was reportedly muzzled at the time after Department of Homeland Security officials noticed he was publicly trolling and feuding with lawmakers over the shooting.
This week, however, he finally got the keys back to his X profile and dove right in on attacking his critics, taunting Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker with a threat to bring his agents back to Chicago. But after lobbing a Trumpian weight jab at Pritzker, Bovino was promptly swarmed by commenters mocking his own physical appearance, calling him a fascist, and urging him to seek therapy.
