 'We Don't Do Stunts': Mattis Fires Back at Critics of Military Support at US Border



Defense Secretary James Mattis fired back Wednesday at criticisms of the Trump administration’s move to send troops to the Mexican border, as the migrant caravan moves north.

Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson said on Outnumbered Overtime that according to Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, more troops will be deployed to the border in addition to the more than 5,000 already expected to arrive soon.

"The support that we provide to the secretary for homeland security is practical support based on the request from the commissioner of customs and border police, so we don't do stunts in this department,” Mattis told a reporter who asked if the Pentagon’s move was a political stunt.
