"Chaos and widespread outrage erupted Saturday when Trump Border Patrol agents shot Mr. Pretti in Minneapolis as social media video of the incident circulated. Trump officials rushed to make outlandish claims about Pretti, the man who was shot even falsely labeling him an assassin. But Protests erupted immediately, as multiple videos of the killing showed that Pretti was disarmed before he was killed and never drew his legally-permitted weapon."
"I found Secretary No's comments on Alex Pretti to be unforgivable. Everything I've heard about this person suggests that he was a wonderful human being and to desecrate the dead like that, utterly, utterly unjustifiable. And I don't see how a person should be allowed to remain in public service after lying so blatantly to the American people. Now, that said, it's very clear that the president is on a very different page."
