House minority whip Steve Scalise has come under fire on social media for labelling the FBI agents who searched Mar-a-Lago as “rogue” on Fox & Friends. He made the remarks mere hours before a man tried to breach an FBI office in Cincinnati. Rep Scalise went on Fox & Friends on Thursday morning to discuss the FBI’s execution of a search warrant on former US president Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on Tuesday when he claimed the agents involved in the search were “rogue”. Fox host Steve Doocy surprised many by schooling the senior Republican on his party’s support for law enforcement and challenged the minority House whip by saying: “Steve, who went rogue? According to NBC News, his intent was to kill FBI agents “on sight” in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant being executed.
