Overview
- On CNN NewsNight, Tiffany Cross said ICE includes sympathizers or members of the Proud Boys and claimed some agents display white supremacist tattoos.
- Kevin O’Leary challenged Cross’s assertions on-air, the exchange turned heated, and anchor Abby Phillip stepped in to curb a personal jab.
- Phillip noted there was no concrete evidence presented of actual Proud Boys within ICE, echoing a prior DHS denial of the allegation.
- Cross also said Tyler Robinson, accused in the killing of Charlie Kirk, held right-wing views, which CNN legal analyst Elie Honig disputed in real time.
- Close contacts of Robinson, including his mother, have described him as left-wing, and Cross cited statistics claiming most political killings since 2001 were by right-wing extremists.
