"Chaos and widespread outrage erupted Saturday when Trump Border Patrol agents shot a man in Minneapolis as social media video of the incident circulated. Protests erupted immediately, and Trump officials rushed to make outlandish claims about Pretti, the man who was shot even falsely labeling him an assassin. But multiple videos of the shooting refuted those claims. Trump's initial reaction was to lash out and blame Pretti and Democratic leaders in a lengthy social media rant."
"JENNINGS: You don't have chaos anywhere else in the country, nowhere else except Minneapolis. And what does Minneapolis have that nobody else has? Walz and Frey, and a failure to cooperate, and them out, radicalizing their constituents, comparing this to the Diary of Anne Frank, calling it the Battle of Gettysburg? Come on. That is not responsible rhetoric. So, for whatever you want to say about Stephen Miller, or anybody else at the White House."
Alex Pretti was shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, and social media video of the incident circulated widely. Protests erupted as Trump administration officials rushed to make outlandish claims about Pretti, including falsely labeling him an assassin; multiple videos of the shooting refuted those claims. The president initially lashed out, blaming Pretti and Democratic leaders in a lengthy social media rant, then later shifted to a more conciliatory tone with Minnesota Democrats. A CNN panel segment featured a GOP analyst blaming local leaders for inflammatory rhetoric; a correspondent noted that senior White House figures and the vice president amplified claims that Pretti was an assassin.
