"Moulton cited his service in the Marines to condemn ICE officers behind these shootings, saying he would be facing a court martial if video existed of him shooting and killing Good or Pretti. Hannity meanwhile noted assaults and death threats against ICE agents are up and he argued it is partially the fault of people like Moulton inciting critics in the wake of Good and Pretti's deaths."
"What about the ones that are attacking officers and doxing them? They're not all good people, Hannity said. Kicking a tail light is attacking an officer? Moulton asked, referring to a video of Pretti appearing to kick the tail light of a federal vehicle days before he was shot. Yeah, officers have been attacked left and right, Hannity said. You might be a great tail light protector, but I don't think you should be executed for kicking a tail light, Sean, Moulton fired back."
"The back and forth ended with each telling the other to apologize. Hannity told Moulton to walk back his rhetoric about ICE, while Moulton accused Hannity of defending early statements from administration officials calling Pretti a domestic terrorist. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has faced bipartisan backlash for claiming early on after the Saturday shooting that Pretti brandished a gun, something video does not appear to back up. White House advisor Stephen Miller also referred to Pretti as a assassin."
Sean Hannity and Rep. Seth Moulton clashed on-air over anti-ICE protests and recent federal shootings in Minneapolis that killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Moulton cited his Marine service to condemn ICE officers, saying he would face court martial if video showed him shooting Good or Pretti. Hannity pointed to rising assaults and death threats against ICE agents and argued critics like Moulton partly incite that behavior. The pair sparred over a video of Pretti appearing to kick a federal vehicle taillight and whether that justified use of force. The exchange ended with mutual demands for apologies and criticism of administration statements labeling Pretti a terrorist.
