Gregory Bovino’s outwear choice prompts German commentators to compare it to fascist aesthetic
A greatcoat worn by the senior US border patrol official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations across the country, has raised eyebrows in German media with some commentators saying it resembled a fascist aesthetic.
Bovino has been an increasingly recognisable figure during the raids in Minneapolis for the brass-buttoned, calf-length olive green coat, which is unlike the fatigues and body armor worn by many of the federal agents.
Along with his close-shorn haircut, the media organization Der Spiegel suggested in a video feature that Bovino’s look recalled that of a Nazi officer.
Idiots. It is a typical military non-field (don’t know the correct term in English)coat. Some “journalists” are too lazy and suck out headlines from nowhere.
You mean they look exactly like nazi pricks? Unfortunately we’re too dumb at this moment, but I wait the Nuremberg moment for these idiots with total pleasure.
Can you provide an image of other members of law enforcement wearing similar attire? It obviously looks like WW2 German / Nazi garb.
Ok? So why is a domestic policing agency wearing military uniform items then? That’s hardly better.
