A congressional hearing on Capitol Hill featuring ICE official Todd Lyons and other border authorities devolved into sharp exchanges between Democrats and critics, with commentator Dan Bongino accusing several lawmakers of spreading false narratives and using misleading imagery.
Bongino sharply criticized Rep. Benny Thompson during the hearing, alleging that Thompson displayed an artificial image while discussing a tragic shooting incident that remains under investigation.
“This hearing up on Capitol Hill yesterday with Todd Lyons and other border officials up there, just degenerated into total Democrat chaos yesterday. Here’s the first clip. This is that absolute j6 committee clown. Benny Thompson, a total Joker. He puts up a photo of this tragic shooting incident, which is still being investigated. We don’t get out ahead of anything. He puts up a photo, and you’ll hear him talking about the photo if you’re listening on Apple or Spotify, the photo is AI. It’s not even a real photo. Check this out.”
Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement
During the hearing, Thompson referenced video footage connected to the incident and made the following statement:
“In the video of the incident, a DHS agent can be seen cheering Mr. Pretti’s death. Americans watch the video in horror. Yet, once again, Secretary Noem gaslit the public made up a demonstrable false story.”
Bongino responded forcefully to Thompson’s remarks, criticizing both the presentation and the substance of the claims.
“One: Can you just spit it out? What do you have a pack of Wrigley’s gum in your mouth? Spit it out. Benny, BT spit it out like mumbles from the dick. Tracy thing, spit it out. That’s not even a real picture, dude. Some of them are some of the dumbest human beings. How they get elected to office? I have no idea, and they’ll criticize you. You’re like, what did you get a 46 on your SAT, here’s another moron, Swalwell, Fang, Fang’s boyfriend. I mean, are you going to see a bigger nightmare for national security than a congressman with questionable ties to Fang? Fang that this guy still opens his yapper and talks all this shit is really something to behold. Here’s Swalwell asking Todd Lyons if he’s gonna resign, and by the way, parrots another bullshit left wing conspiracy theory that we stole this child from the Father, when, in fact, the father fled the scene and our guys took care of the five year old child. Check this out.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell questioned Lyons directly during the hearing:
“Mr. Lyons, will you resign from ICE?”
Lyons replied:
“No, sir, I won’t.”
Swalwell followed up:
“Why not?”
Lyons answered:
“Because, sir, that child that you’re showing right there, the men and women of ice took care of him when his father abandoned him and ran.”
Bongino continued his criticism of Democrats after the exchange, arguing that the circumstances surrounding the child were misrepresented.
“Are they ever going to tell you the truth? The answer is no, of course not. That’s not what they do, that they are freaking allergic to the truth. Man, I’m allergic to dog hair and dander. The Democrats are allergic to truth dander. They can never tell you the truth. That’s not what happened. The father was suspected of a crime, an Immigration Crime, and the father fled, and the five year old was left behind. Swallow. What would you want to do leave him with Fang Fang?”
