“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told one source who relayed her comments to Axios.

Kristi Noem said that slain ICU nurse Alex Pretti wanted to “inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.” Carlos Gonzalez/The Minnesota Star Tribune via Getty Images

Pretti, 37, was legally carrying a handgun when he was tackled by multiple federal agents, but video shows he did not brandish the weapon. Agents can be seen on video disarming Pretti before firing numerous shots into him while he was on the ground, killing him.

    Of course they did. They have always been right leaning at a minimum, often regurgitating the talking points with an air of centrism for cover.

      They reported on video, without showing it, repeating ice claims he spit on one.

      100 percent that is false I am sure just as he was not trying to massacre cops later. He did kick a tail light, which they showed a still from the video.

      Not shiwing the video and repeating dhs with no counter even is just boldfaced lying for the admin.
