"Megyn Kelly kicked off the latest episode of her podcast by declaring that she did not feel sorry for Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents over the weekend, even using that clip on social media to promote the show. Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who worked for the VA, was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday."
"Shortly afterwards, multiple Trump administration officials called Pretti a domestic terrorist and accused him of brandishing his weapon and intending to kill or massacre federal agents, among other unfounded claims. Video evidence taken by several bystanders, reviewed in frame-by-frame detail by multiple media outlets, contradicted these claims. During the incident, Pretti was only holding his cell phone, he had a permit to carry his gun, and he never took the gun out."
"Alex Pretti was there being subversive. He was there trying to interfere with the traffic, trying to direct traffic into an ICE operation, from the look of it. He was not there to help. He was not there to assist law enforcement or make things easier for them. He was there with a loaded gun looking to cause trouble for the Border Patrol agents and that trouble came back on him."
Megyn Kelly began a podcast episode stating she did not feel sorry for Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents. Multiple Trump administration officials characterized Pretti as a domestic terrorist and alleged he brandished a weapon and intended to kill federal agents. Bystander video footage, analyzed frame-by-frame by several outlets, contradicted those assertions. The footage shows Pretti holding only a cellphone, possessing a permit to carry, and never removing his gun from its holster. An agent located the holstered gun while other agents restrained Pretti, and another agent fired at Pretti's back.
