A pair of GOP analysts were flabbergasted on Thursday by former Customs and Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino's "gross' and "very sad" tweet storm.
Bovino sent off a series of posts on X last night, in which he made strange comments, like asking a reporter covering President Donald Trump's deportation forces to make him a pie and telling an anonymous MAGA account he wanted to try beaver meat. Bovino also admitted to having tried raccoon meat during the tirade.
GOP analysts Tim Miller, host of "The Bulwark Podcast," and former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (IL) appeared flabbergasted by Bovino's comments when they discussed them on a new podcast episode on Thursday.
Kinzinger laughed as Miller read some of the posts Bovino sent.
"He has to have been hammered, right?" Kinzinger said.
Miller said the comments seemed to be coming from a man who has lost his sense of purpose.
"He found his purpose, which was menacing and intimidating people on the streets of the cities, and that has been taken away from him," Miller said. "Now he's just doing gross reply guy material. Again, it does feel gross and should be condemned, but it also feels like a victory. Feels very sad ... Like that's what he's been reduced to now. It's very sad."
Bovino was removed as CBP commander in January after his forces killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. He was replaced by border czar Tom Homan, who has since announced the end of Trump's "Operation Metro Surge" in the city. Bovino was reassigned to a post in California, where, according to reports, he is expected to retire.



BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
