"Kash Patel was probably expecting another layup interview on Fox News. Instead, the embattled FBI head was grilled, and humiliated himself in the process. It's safe to say he won't be posting this clip on his thirsty social media feeds anytime soon. Like many administration bootlickers, Patel tied himself into verbal knots attempting to defend the slaying of Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis Saturday morning."
"Immediately, the administration started lying about Pretti. Just like with Renee Good, officials are trying to portray him as the agitator. The Department of Homeland Security said that Pretti approached agents with a "semi-automatic handgun." Though Pretti, a licensed gun owner, was carrying a firearm, he wasn't brandishing it towards federal officers. "Footage shows Mr. Pretti was clearly holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him," writes the New York Times."
Kash Patel faced intense questioning on Fox News while defending the shooting of Alex Pretti. Federal agents shot 37-year-old Pretti ten times in the back at close range after wrestling him to the ground. Video shows Pretti initially approached agents with a cellphone and later moved between an officer and a woman. The Department of Homeland Security claimed Pretti approached with a "semi-automatic handgun." Pretti, a licensed gun owner, was carrying a firearm but was not brandishing it; footage and reports indicate an agent removed the gun from his waistband while he was being held down.
