A growing number of Republicans are questioning or criticizing the Trump administration’s response to the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday.

The criticism has extended beyond the handful of Republicans who are known for periodically differing from Trump.

Some Trump allies are also among those questioning immigration agents’ tactics or the Department of Homeland Security’s handling of the shooting. At minimum, they are calling for an investigation into Pretti’s shooting.

    Clearly they all see how bad their polling is and want to pretend they “resisted” Trump to hang onto their seats.

      Straight white 2nd amendment enjoyer. I think that last one is where they really stepped in it with all the inflammatory language that basically amounted to “we have a right to execute you if you have a gun near us”.

        Plus being easily the clearest video of all. Holding a man down, disarming him, beating him, then shooting him in the back is pretty brazen

    Nope, fuck the lot of you swine. You backed that dementia ridden pissmouth cunt for all it was worth to your bottom fucking lines, you get no accord for doing now what you should have done long, long ago. American citizens were murdered by your SS death squads. Fuck the lot of you with solid radium dildos.
