The story surrounding the apparent murder of Alex Pretti by a pack of “homeland security” goons continues to unfold.
On Saturday afternoon, Donald Trump posted an inflammatory rant on Truth Social after the shooting, sharing an image of what the Department of Homeland Security says was a handgun carried by the man who was killed. Alex Pretti’s parents issued a statement soon thereafter calling out the Trump Regime’s “sickening lies“. Even one of FOX News’s most outspoken commentators isn’t buying what the regime is selling.
At about the same time, MN Gov. Tim Walz activated the state’s National Guard.
Meanwhile, scrutiny of the shooting has intensified. Videos show that a federal agent secured the licensed, fully legal gun Pretti was carrying before tha fatal shooting.
Late yesterday, Minnesota federal judge Eric C. Tostrud issued a late-night order barring federal officials from destroying evidence tied to the shooting. And George Conway, former conservative strategist turned Democratic congressional candidate, is calling for Trump’s impeachment and removal.
