Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly made it clear on her show this Monday that she doesn’t feel sorry for Alex Pretti, the left-wing extremist killed last Saturday while tussling with immigration agents.
“I know I am supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretti, but I don’t,” she began. “Do you know why I wasn’t shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations. It’s very simple.”
Plus, she continued, were she ever to protest, she’d do it correctly instead of like the rioting, violent left.
“If I felt strongly enough about something the government was doing to go out and protest, I would do it peacefully on the sidewalk without interfering because interfering is where you go south,” she explained. “Laying hands on a law enforcement officer of any kind, trying to conduct a law enforcement operation? That is a felony.”
“You are going to get arrested. And if you do anything that resembles resisting, you are in serious trouble. That doesn’t give them the “right” to shoot you. But it amps up the situation and the danger such that they may be found in reasonable fear of their safety if they do,” she concluded.

Earlier in the broadcast, she slammed Pretti for the “subversive” behavior he displayed in the minutes preceding his shooting death at the hands of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“He was not there to assist law enforcement or make things easier for them. He was there with a loaded gun looking to cause trouble for the Border Patrol agents, and that trouble came back on him,” she said.
Getting angrier as she spoke, Kelly then slammed the fake narrative that Pretti was some sort of sympathetic figure.
“I am so sick of this bullsh*t!” she exclaimed. “These are organized agitators who train to disrupt and, in some cases, hurt law enforcement. They go out there looking for confrontations that they can make go viral on social media or that they can use as propaganda to turn people against the good guys.”
“The agitators want to paint themselves as noble and the ICE or Border Patrol agents as awful. They want to get some sort of confrontation on camera or something that will make officers look silly or bad or brutal, and then when things turn actually bad, or brutal, or dangerous, or – in the case of Renee Good and now Alex Pretti – fatal, all of their remaining enablers rush to social media and the cameras to say, ‘You see, we told you,'” she added.
“Except,” she continued, “it’s all fake — the whole narrative is fake — and anyone with any sense would have faced the same consequences as Pretti had they acted like him.”
“Even if I, Megyn Kelly, went to interrupt law enforcement conducting lawful arrests and law enforcement operations with a loaded gun tucked into the back of my pants and then I engaged in a physical confrontation with them where I am shoving, and they are shoving, I would be in grave danger,” she explained.
“I would be in grave danger even without having a gun in that scenario because resisting arrest can lead to very bad things. Just ask George Floyd. You don’t resist arrest. You don’t antagonize cops in the middle of the street in a law enforcement operation. Bad things can come. When law enforcement has hands on you trying to place you under arrest, you submit. That’s it. Submit,” she added.

This, Kelly further noted, is something all parents should be teaching their children.
“Every normal parent tells their children if you get pulled over by a cop or find yourself interacting with a cop, you submit,” she said. “If they are being a prick, a racist, a bully, overbearing, if they’re wrong, if they don’t actually have the right person, we will deal with it later because you don’t antagonize a law officer with a gun.”
But evidently, leftists aren’t teaching their kids this. Nor are they teaching their kids to stop comparing all their political enemies to Nazis:
This is SICK. She’s trying to get @StephenM killed. Why else would you say he’s Himmler? Deranged and so far beyond the pale. We can’t become immune to it. https://t.co/xn5UNamtGz
