President Trump says that Alex Pretti should not have carried a gun

In a surprise dig at the Second Amendment, US President Donald Trump said that demonstrator Alex Pretti, who was murdered by federal ICE agents in Minneapolis, should not have been carrying a gun when he was killed. The comments came as a surprise within a Republican constituency that has historically defended the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, even as outrage mounts over Prettiโ€™s death.

The incident marked the second murder by ICE in Minneapolis in January, following the earlier death of Renรฉe Good, on 7 January.

Trump later told reporters that he did not believe Pretti was acting as an โ€œassassinโ€ and said that the case was โ€œa very unfortunate incident.โ€

Yet Trump also reiterated that he did not think protestors should bring firearms to demonstrations, a position that has drawn criticism from gun rights advocates and some Republican figures, who argue that lawful gun ownership, including at protests, is protected under both federal and Minnesota law.

    Of course they would be upset. Goes to show how the orange popsicle just acts on the moment.

    In the Kenosha unrest shooting, which occurred on August 25, 2020, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kyle Rittenhouse, then a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, shot three men – KILLING TWO – during protests and civil unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

    Rittenhouse was ACQUITTED of all charges on November 19, 2021, after a high-profile trial where he successfully argued he acted in self-defense.

    Rittenhouse traveled to Kenosha during protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. He joined a group of armed individuals stating they were there to protect local businesses.

    So Trumps argument pretty much creates a huge conundrum for the far right which is his largest voting base

    […] defenders of their nation’s children to pedophile-apologists with a total disregard to the Sixth Amendment: so it seems. Republicans seem to have fully embraced their dictator and very few of them seem to […]
