All Ex-Presidents Speak Except George W., Who Just Ghosted Again
KEY POINTS
- •Former presidents Obama, Biden, and Clinton condemned the Minneapolis federal agents' fatal shooting of nurse Alex Pretti earlier this week.
- •Trump softened his immigration rhetoric after public backlash, replacing raid leader Gregory Bovino with more targeted border czar Tom Homan.
- •Local authorities were reportedly blocked from investigating the shooting scene as controversy over lawfully carried weapons heated up.
In a political soap opera hotter than the Minnesota winters, almost every ex-president voiced outrage over federal agents fatally shooting Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti, 37. Biden dropped a tweet denouncing 'violence and terror' from US government agents, Obama penned a Medium essay warning about creepy masked ICE squads acting like the villainous henchmen in a bad action flick, and Clinton called it an 'unacceptable' mess, noting lies and stonewalling like it’s the latest Netflix thriller. Trump’s move to pivot away from ice-hockey-mask-wearing federal raids now includes replacing Greg Bovino, raid czar and Minneapolis’s unofficial nightmare fuel, with border czar Tom Homan, who prefers ‘less roving patrol, more target practice.’ Meanwhile, W. just RSVP’d 'no comment' to this chaotic party.
