'Gut feeling': Fox News forces Trump border czar to admit he has no proof for attack claim
Fox News host Sandra Smith pushed incoming border czar Tom Homan into admitting he had no proof after he claimed that recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas were connected.
During a Thursday interview on Fox News, Smith told Homan that authorities had "no evidence" to connect a truck explosion in Las Vegas to a truck driver who killed at least 15 people in New Orleans.
"I think the further the investigation goes, I think they are going to find a connection between the two incidents," Homan opined.
"Tom, just to circle back there," Smith pressed, "you said earlier, and you just referenced again a terrorist connection there in Las Vegas, the police chief said they haven't identified that, but to your point, you said you believed, as this investigation carries out in Las Vegas that they, I believe you just said, you believe they will find a connection."
"Do you have any other information, or have you been privy to any other information other than what we just directly heard from the police there in Las Vegas?" she asked.
"No, I don't," Homan admitted. "This is a gut feeling."
"I just think there's too many similarities, too much coincidence," he added. "I think something down the road they're going to show there's some sort of connection, whether this is, you know, whether it's some same network or where they got the tools to pull these terrorist attacks off."
Even though the suspects in both attacks were reportedly U.S. citizens, Homan also suggested President Joe Biden's border policies were to blame.

"I've been on this network for four years talking about the threats coming across our southern border and you know we got a record number of known gotaways," he said. "Even Christopher Wray, the director of FBI, said numerous times under testimony in front of Congress that this is the biggest national security vulnerability he's seen."
"We need to secure that border and despite what's happened the last two days in Las Vegas and in New Orleans, this administration is not stopping."
