Democrats and their media cohorts were quick to engage in a propaganda campaign to deify Alex Pretti, the armed ICE protester who was shot and killed in Minneapolis after physically engaging with federal agents.
As is often the case, that campaign would soon blow up in their face when an earlier video surfaced of Pretti spitting on and antagonizing ICE agents, even kicking one of their vehicles, and President Donald J. Trump was right there to remind them of their blunder.
Idiots like CNN contributor Anna Navarro described Pretti, who was a registered ICU nurse, as “the perfect guy,” claiming he was “the guy that you’d want to date your daughter… the guy you’d want your son to be.” But that paled in comparison to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who knows a thing or two about distorting reality.
“Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. Alex carried patience, compassion, and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure.”
Trump reposted an X video titled, “The Story of Alex Pretti, read by Elizabeth Warren,” which showcased Pretti’s violent actions while juxtaposing a clip of Warren’s remarks:
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just EXPOSED ICE hunter Alex Pretti for being a known violent agitator, attacking and spitting on ICE
While Democrats call him a hero. You can’t make this crap up.

The clip was recorded about a week before Pretti was killed. The man in the clip, who appears to be Pretti, can be heard screaming, “F*cking assault me motherf*cker, f*cking trash.”

The earlier video doesn’t mean that Pretti deserved to die — make no mistake, he died because he made the foolish decision to intervene with ICE agents while armed — but it does disabuse the left’s favorable narrative that the man was simply there to record ICE and assist others.
Hell, the media even doctored a photo of Pretti to make his appearance more visibly appealing.
It’s truly a wonder how these people look themselves in a mirror, or sleep at night. Fortunately, there were plenty on social media who were not fooled — here’s a sampling of some of the responses, as seen on X:
Pretti was a domestic terrorist.

Democrats: “He was pure compassion.”
Video: assaults police.
