MEGYN KELLY (HOST): Alex Pretti was there being subversive. He was there trying to interfere with the traffic, trying to direct traffic into an ICE operation from the look of it. He was not there to help. 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.
We'll get into the specifics and the frame by frame and all of that in a minute, but I just want to say, like, I don't -- personally, I'm so sick of this bullshit. 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 their social media or that they can use as propaganda to turn people against the good guys, the ones who are trying to rid us of the scourge of child-molesting illegals. That's what they want to do.
They want to paint themselves as noble and the ICE or the Border Patrol agents as awful and get some sort of confrontation on camera or something that'll make them look silly or bad or brutal. And then when things turn actually bad and brutal and dangerous, and in the case of Renee Good and now this Alex Pretti, all of their remaining enablers rush to social media and the cameras to say, “You see? See? We told you."
No. No. Even if I, Megyn Kelly, went to interrupt law enforcement conducting lawful arrests and law enforcement operations with with a loaded gun tucked into the back of my pants, and then I engaged in a physical physical confrontation with them, physical, where I'm shoving and they're shoving, I'd be in grave danger. Grave danger. Yes, the gun is definitely going to amp up the police officer's reasonable fear for their own safety.
But even without me having a gun in this scenario, I'd be in grave danger, because resisting arrest can lead to very bad things. Just ask George Floyd. You don't do it. Bad things can come.
You don't resist arrest. You don't antagonize cops in the middle of the street in a law enforcement operation, and then when they've got hands on you trying to place you under arrest, you submit. That's it. Submit.
...
We have to be the ones to be extra careful about not antagonizing. We do, especially in Minnesota, in Minneapolis, because of what they're doing to the Border Patrol and the ICE there. I'm sorry but there's there's actually a greater, ironically, responsibility on those protesters — they're terrorists in my view — to behave well and submit immediately than there is on anybody else, because they have put these guys on the razor's edge.
As Alex Pretti is getting shot, an ICE officer was getting — elsewhere, in Minnesota — his finger bitten off by one of these terrorists. I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretti, but I don't. I don't.
Do you know why I wasn't shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations.
