"TIFFANY CROSS: There is a reason why we have not seen a resurgence of the Proud Boys and that is because I believe a lot of them are likely made ICE officers. Again, I've said this on the show before. I've not seen any deep dive reporting into who these people are. But they certainly adopt a lot of the ideology, a lot of the tactics, a lot of the violent tactics, a lot of the wearing masks."
"Author and podcast host Tiffany Cross stunned prominent Trump fan Kevin O'Leary with a jab that made anchor Abby Phillip step in to say, Let's not make personal attacks. As unrest has escalated over President Donald Trump's deportation forces amid the Renee Good and Alex Pretti killings, CNN recently reported on what they say are coded appeals to white nationalists by Trump administration agencies. On Tuesday's edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip hosted a panel that included Cross, O'Leary, Ana Navarro, Jim Schultz, and Elie Honig."
"KEVIN O'LEARY, CHAIRMAN, O'LEARY VENTURES: Tiffany, you just say ICE officers are militia. CROSS: Yes. Have you not been paying attention? O'LEARY: Yes, I see you're stretching a little bit. CROSS: They certainly mirror the Gestapo. O'LEARY: That's very CROSS: I don't think I'm stretching anything. I think we have seen what we have not seen."
Tiffany Cross asserted that many Proud Boys have been integrated into ICE and that ICE personnel mirror extremist tactics and ideology. Kevin O'Leary vocally disputed the claim and criticized Cross for stretching the premise. Cross raised concerns about detainees experiencing malnutrition, lacking lifesaving medication, and children being taken. Anchor Abby Phillip intervened to admonish panelists against personal attacks during the confrontation. CNN referenced reporting on alleged coded appeals to white nationalists by Trump administration agencies amid unrest tied to deportation forces and two killings. The segment aired on CNN NewsNight with multiple panelists offering opposing viewpoints.
