Der gestürzte Trump-Grenzschutzmann behauptete heimlich, ein amerikanischer Ureinwohner zu sein

[Newly retired](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-ousted-border-patrol-goon-lashes-out-after-humiliating-downfall/) Border Patrol “commander at large” Gregory Bovino once claimed during a legal battle that he was Native American and considered himself part of the Cherokee tribe, despite not being registered with any tribal rolls.

Bovino, 55, whose father was the son of an Italian immigrant, grew up near his mother’s family in North Carolina and strongly identifies with his Appalachian roots, according to The New York Times.

He speaks with a drawl and calls himself a “hillbilly,” according to the Times.

Starting from the time he was 8 years old, he also identified as a Native American and considered himself a member of the Cherokee tribe, despite not being on any tribal rolls, he testified during a court case in 2018.

Later, when he began working at Customs and Border Patrol, he gave out tomahawks to reward top performers, he told the court.

The bizarre revelations emerged as part of a 2018 lawsuit in which Bovino—who was forced out of CBP after the public soured on President Donald Trump’s mass immigration campaign—was accused of discriminatory hiring practices.

Four Border Patrol employees had sued the Department of Homeland Security alleging that Bovino gave preferential treatment to less qualified white male agents.

I thought he was just a racist fuck, but that’s not secret.

‚White Adjacent‘

He may be a member of the Fullacrappa tribe which used to be based in what is now Washington DC. In fact many legislators may be members of this tribe, it appears to be very wide spread.

I’d say hes more apt to be related to Dobby but with 1/2 the brain 🤣
