What lying fucks they all are.

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 25, 2026

Other agents then pepper spray Mr. Pretti, who is holding a phone in one hand and nothing in the other, and pull him to the ground. "His concealed weapon was found only after he was restrained on the sidewalk, the videos show. It appears to have been taken from him before the agents opened fire."

"Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict the accounts of federal officials, who said Mr. Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Video footage shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. ...

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

AOC: "It is reported he had a permit. And this administration's response is that the very that he was a legal firearm owner was reason for them to shoot him in the street ... if we do not do something now, I do not what can happen afterward. We have to contain this chaos."

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Kristi Noem: "In Minneapolis, Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey choose violence. They choose to encourage the destruction of their city. It appears they want this lawlessness to continue."

Evil.

im sorry who is encouraging violence with their rhetoric again?

Q: Is DHS leading the investigation into the shooting? Will there be a criminal investigation? KRISTI NOEM: We are conducting this investigation just like we do all other officer involved shootings

Q: Did he brandish a gun? KRISTI NOEM: This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons

Kristi Noem: "They responded according to their training"

Noem's lies are mind blowing: "This individual attacked those officers, had a weapon on him and multiple, dozens of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers, coming, brandishing like that.

Noem: "We are there to make sure the public is safe"

Noem: "These are the individuals who were in charge when Minneapolis burned in 2020 ... it appears they're following the same playbook. And the reason they're doing it is to distract from the corruption they have facilitated."

Q: You just made claims that the individual posed a threat to law enforcem-- NOEM: That is no claim! It is the facts. the facts of the situation, this individual showed up to a law enforcement operation with a weapon. He was there to perpetuate violence.

Q: Is this man a domestic terrorist? NOEM: When you perpetuate violence against a government because of ideological reasons and for reasons to resist and perpetuate violence, that is the definition of domestic terrorism

Q: Five people also died in immigration detention so far this year. Why is immigration enforcement becoming so deadly under your tenure? NOEM: Immigration enforcement is exactly what the American people asked for

Noem: "Our operations are being conducted in a manner that is historic for accuracy for taking care of people and doing so safely"

Q: If these are targeted arrests, why are these immigration agents going after civilian protests out of their way? NOEM: This individual attacked law enforcement officers. These agents took action to defend their lives.

Q: Are you working with local law enforcement on the investigation? NOEM: Who would trust Gov. Walz at this point? The man has stood up and encouraged resistance. He's sacrificed his citizens' safety

This is probably the claim that sinks them.

AOC: "Early reports are that he was an ICU nurse at the Mpls VA. So we are talking about Donald Trump accusing a VA ICU as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating service members to our country ... his final act on early was helping a woman pushed to the ground."

AOC: "This really isn't just about Democrats. This is about Democrats, Republicans, and independents. There has been this permission structure where we have all universally accepted that the GOP will simply just have no morals, or fall in line, and we have to challenge that logic and rhetoric."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Literally 10 days ago, this hypocritical jackass introduced a bill to make concealed carry easier across the nation to help "law-abiding citizens to more freely exercise their Second Amendment rights." www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-re...

The unc who went viral a few weeks ago protesting in MN is back: "5 shots they put into that man's body. How do you look me in the eye and tell me you can justify this? I'm a veteran. I swore an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is unbelievable"

a second angle of the killing in south Minneapolis today is even worse warning: video is graphic

Minnesota Sen. Steve Drazkowski: "You are seeing now the product of the lack of leadership in this state, really institutional corruption throughout the executive branches both in the state of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis... I'd call in the National Guard and have them help law enforcement"

Pritzker describes Bovino as "a small supervillain"

CNN cuts to reporter Sara Sidner, who is in distress: "I'm trying to breathe"

Trump: "This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? ... ICE had to protect themselves — Not an easy thing to do!"

Bovino begins his news conference by saying "I have the privilege and honor of leading the US Border Patrol here in Minneapolis. Some of those brave men and women of Border Patrol join me here today." (Border Patrol killed a guy in Minneapolis this morning.)

Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

Trump: "AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS IS A “COVER UP” FOR THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM THE ONCE GREAT STATE (BUT SOON TO BE GREAT AGAIN!) OF MINNESOTA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

"The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation ... State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, and it remains active through March 2026."

Q: It doesn't seem like he pulled a weapon at any point. So does that account come from the agent? When does it come out? BOVINO: This situation is evolving. Those facts will come to light. But let's take a look at the gun.

Bovino takes only 2 questions and then an aide abruptly shuts down his news conference

Bondi: "Why this has happened in Minneapolis is because you have a mayor and governor who have declared Minneapolis a sanctuary city ... these are all the illegals that Joe Biden was letting into our country, and they were all going to Minneapolis because the mayor, governor, AG was protecting them"

Bondi: "We are going to protect our churches. We are going to protect our great men and women in law enforcement, who were out there doing their jobs today. They were arresting a violent offender, and then this guy comes up. We will support the men and women in law enforcement."

Bondi: "We sent Gov. Walz a very strong letter today. We had been working on this letter. We got it out saying that he better support President Trump. He better support the men and women in law enforcement because if he doesn't, we are, and that's what we're doing right now."
