President Donald Trump early on Friday attacked Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old man who was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents in Minnesota last week, labeling him as an “agitator” and “insurrectionist” just days after the White House backtracked on some administration officials’ characterization of the intensive care nurse as a “domestic terrorist.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex Pretti’s stock has gone way down.”
The president then referenced a video released on Wednesday showing a clash between Pretti and federal officers, 11 days before he was shot.
