'Peewee Bovino' jeered as 'total nimrod' after smoke bomb flub cracks up onlookers

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino faced literal and figurative blowback after lobbing a smoke bomb toward protesters.

The 55-year-old crackdown commander was shown on video struggling to deploy the smoke canister Wednesday afternoon as protesters gathered as federal officers had boxed in a vehicle and pulled out a teenage boy and a girl near Mueller Park, witnesses told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

“I’m gonna gas, get back, gas is coming," Bovino can be heard saying on the video.
