Arizona Democratic lawmakers and activists got triggered by Trump Border Czar Tom Homan’s visit to the state and address to members of the State Legislature.

One House member even broke down in tears during a speech outside the Capitol.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Homan spoke to legislators in the Copper State Tuesday about the southern border and what the Trump Administration needs to stop the millions of violent criminals and terrorists who were allowed into our country under Joe Biden.

WATCH LIVE: Border Czar Tom Homan Addresses Joint Session of Arizona Legislature at 3 PM ET

During his speech, a small group of liberals was seen outside the Capitol screaming and banging drums.

Via Rachel Alexander:

Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro told The Gateway Pundit "it's sad" that the Democrats are focused on fighting for illegals "instead of the children that are missing, instead of the Americans that are losing their lives from fentanyl" or "individuals, like Laken Riley, who are losing their lives because of brutal terrorists."

While the Border Czar was addressing lawmakers, Democrats stormed out of the Capitol as Homan began speaking about the over 300,000 children who were smuggled into this country and lost by the Biden regime. They were holding signs with the names of illegal aliens who were deported.

Homan responded with fire after they stood up to walk out, telling the lawmakers, "I love haters. They make my day."

"They chose the wrong time to walk out," Montenegro told The Gateway Pundit. "I think that we have to remind ourselves who elected us, who is expecting us to keep them safe, and those are Americans, Arizonans, who expect better from their elected officials." He then slammed the Democrats' sign stunt, saying, "Those are the names that should be on any signs."

Democrat State Rep. Betty Villegas gave an angry and dishonest speech outside the Capitol after she and her colleagues left the building. She ranted about the rights of people who are in our country illegally and claimed that ICE "deports people who are lawfully present in this country."

Villegas also accused Republicans in the legislature of "political theater," while claiming that Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs's SAFE initiative "has already taken over 6 million fentanyl pills off our streets." However, Montenegro says he credits the law enforcement officers of Arizona for doing their job and the Trump Administration's border reform for any success in combating the fentanyl crisis in Arizona.

WATCH:

Villegas: We're here responding to political theater. The decision to bring Tom Homan to our capitol today is not about solving the real challenges we face at the border. It's not about protecting public safety. It's certainly not about supporting the hard working immigrant communities that are the backbone of our economy and culture in Arizona. What's happening today is a farce, plain and simple, and the people of Arizona deserve better. Under Homan’s leadership, ICE was not only cruel, it is incompetent. Even by Trump era standards, it failed. His agency deports people who are lawfully present in this country. It separates families. It's targeting people who have built lives here, who contribute, who pay taxes to raise, who raise children, and who care for their aging parents.

If Republicans truly wanted a serious conversation on the border, they would take a cue from Governor Hobbs' SAFE initiative, which has already taken over 6 million fentanyl pills off our streets. That's real leadership. That's what public safety looks like. Instead, MAGA Republicans are trying to sell a false story that all undocumented people are criminals. That kind of rhetoric is dangerous. It's wrong, and it hurts real people. These are not just numbers. They are people, people with families, people who go to church, who run businesses, who coach Little League, who care for our sick and our elderly, people who deserve dignity and due process. Speaker yesterday says we want to follow the rule of law. Not having due process is not following the rule of law! So yes, we walked out because we will not be part of a charade that tries to take away the fundamental rights of others because once you strip one group of their rights, it becomes easier to do it to the next and the next. We stand here today because we believe in a better Arizona, one rooted in truth, in compassion and enduring promise of justice for all.

Rep. Anna Abeytia cried as she spewed lies and gave a cringeworthy threat, mentioning she's from the ghetto "West Side" of Phoenix and will not "stand idly by." At one point, she accused Republicans of Fascism and White Supremacy and bizarrely called President Trump Republicans' "political sugar daddy."

WATCH:

Abeytia: I am here today to address the crucial issue that deeply affects our communities and our values as Americans. I will not sit quietly while the truth is whitewashed, while the reality of what's happening is twisted to serve political agendas. Republicans are trying to clean up the political perception of these extra-judicial deportations by pushing false narratives, telling you not to believe your lying eyes. But I'm here to tell you that we will not let them sweep the truth under the rug. We know exactly what is happening, and we will not let them lie to Arizonans. I walked out today in protest because I refuse to be propagandized to about what the real issue is. Let's be clear, this issue is not about border militarization. No, the issue is a broken immigration system and bad foreign policy. These are the real roots of the crisis. As a duly elected representative and as a proud Latina, I have the obligation to speak out in this moment, and I have an obligation to stand up for my community and stand up for what is right. It was my community of Maryville, one of the hardest hit communities during SB1070 and the rise of anti immigration sentiment. This is the same community that fought against injustice, against prejudice, and against hate. And now we are being targeted again, but this time, by a Trump hate wave. And let me be clear, I will not stand idly by. That is not what we do in the west side.

Arizonans elected Republicans. Arizona elected Republicans have made a choice. They've decided to throw the rule of law into the gutter, all in the name of satisfying their political sugar daddy, Donald Trump. They've thrown away their responsibility to uphold justice in favor of preserving their political power. These Republican officials, today's Republican leaders, believe in power over patriotism, and that is a dangerous thing. What we're seeing now happening in our communities is disgusting. We are seeing families torn apart, lives ruined, and asylum seekers being deported, deported to tortured prisons in El Salvador, where the judges have specifically ordered that they not be deported there. Why is this happening? Because today's Republican Party is being led by people who are more interested in advancing their fascist White supremacist agenda than following the law. These are not people who care about justice. They care about control. They care about causing division and fear, and they will do anything, anything to enact their agenda. But I am here today to say enough is enough. I will not stand by and watch them terrorize my community. We will not let them dismantle the fabric of our society. We are here to stand up to these bullies. We say that we will not tolerate this cruelty, this law, this lawlessness, nor this hatred, hatred. We will fight back. We will continue to fight for our families, for our communities and for our dignity. We are standing on business here today because we are fighting for what's right, and I will never apologize for that.

On Wednesday, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, was sworn in as the national adviser for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared that Carson’s role will be to oversee Trump’s new Big Beautiful Bill law, which aims to ensure Americans’ quality of life, from nutrition to stable housing.

Per USDA:

Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.

“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”

“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”

On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
