A nasty and completely unsubstantiated rumor (i.e. FAKE NEWS) has been circulating that Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe. To the best of my knowledge, there is no evidence at all to support the claim, just unfounded and defamatory hearsay. JD Vance absolutely destroyed George Stephanopoulos on ABC News when Steph tried to bring it up: Viewers Furious As ABC Cuts Off Vice President JD Vance And Goes To Commercial And with that history, now we go to Bill O'Reilly who had Tom Homan on a panel on News Nation and Bill asked him if he'd like to address the rumors....

The Border Czar looked O’Reilly dead in the eyes and said: “I didn’t take $50,000 from anybody.” Then Homan revealed something that those accusing him of taking bribes probably don’t know: “Day one I came back, I recused myself from any discussions, of any contact or any monetary decisions like that because I used to have a company that did consulting.” “So I cleared myself day one.” “What people don’t talk about is I took a significant, huge pay cut to come back and serve my nation.” “I am not enriching myself doing this job.” O’Reilly asked Homan: “Does this make you angry that they’re coming at you this way?” Homan’s response woke up the crowd: “I don’t care what people think about me, I never have because I know who I am. I work for the greatest president in the history of this nation in my opinion.” “And we’re doing the right thing every day.” [Applause] ORIGINAL REPORT: Viewers Furious As ABC Cuts Off Vice President JD Vance And Goes To Commercial This is a new low.... George Stephanopoulos on ABC News tried to ask JD Vance about a widely debunked story that Tom Homan took a $50,000 bribe. JD Vance immediately shut down the nonsense, and after setting the record straight Stephanopoulos smeared him one more time, then cut off the feed and went to commerical. Unreal! Watch for yourself here: TRANSCRIPT: I don't know what tape you're referring to, George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe. There's no evidence of that. And here's, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility — because you're talking for now five minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I've read about, but I don't even know the video that you're talking about. Meanwhile, low-income women can't get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government. Right now, we're trying to figure out how to pay our troops because Chuck Schumer has shut down the government. You're focused on a bogus story. You're insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling because our government's shut down. Let's talk about the real issues, George. I think the American people would benefit much more from that than from you going down some weird left-wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing. Uh, it's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole. I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000 as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning. No, George— Governor J.D. Davis— I said that I don't— Pritzker's up next. We'll be right back.
