2:54Now PlayingThis interaction with Gregory Bovino on X was beyond strange.
It all started when Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker tweeted that "Gregory Bovino has to go." Bovino—the erstwhile roving warlord atop Donald Trump's Border Patrol junta—had other ideas. And those ideas involved armed federal agents. And pie.
"Nah, gubner, too busy leading agents to arrest illegal aliens," Bovino responded. "Besides, Chicago may need another double digit drop in a whole smorgasbord of violent crime, compliments of the Green Machine. Perhaps we could meet for a sugar-free slice of heirloom apple pie -on me!"
Bovino's threat to launch a renewed Border Patrol occupation of Chicago, apparently as retribution for a politician criticizing him, was certainly news. And journalist Amanda Moore—who has spent months covering Bovino and federal law enforcement for Mother Jones and other outlets—quickly pointed that out.
What happened next was bizarre—and a bit creepy.
“Perhaps you could make the pie for us,” Bovino tweeted at Moore.
Then it got even weirder.
