The tide of public opinion has turned in opposition to ICE and DHS operations in Minneapolis, and the Trump administration is within the strategy of eradicating a few of its most outstanding officers from town and quietly “reassigning” them.
After stubbornly standing his floor for weeks, Trump now seems to be backing away from his administration’s earlier declare that slain ICU nurse Alex Pretti was a “home terrorist.”
That’s excellent news for followers of frequent sense.
But it surely’s unhealthy information for the assorted MAGA pundits who thought they had been doing the White Home’s bidding by blindly supporting the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Megyn Kelly apparently didn’t get the memo earlier than she hosted her Sirius XM present on Monday as a result of she continued to denigrate Pretti.
“I do know I’m purported to really feel sorry for Alex Pretti, however I don’t. I don’t,” Kelly proudly instructed her viewers.
“Are you aware why I wasn’t shot by Border Patrol this weekend? As a result of I stored my a-s in and out of their operations.”
Kelly spent years as a proud Second Modification-supporting, “don’t tread on me” conservative, so her declaration that US residents ought to keep inside to keep away from being executed by federal brokers got here as a shock to many.
And never surprisingly, Megyn is now receiving backlash from fairly a number of high-profile critics.
“Defending raping 14 yr olds as not pedophilia and attacking killed ICU nurses who served veterans – been fairly a number of month run right here,” former Biden aide Neera Tanden posted on X (previously Twitter), in keeping with The Day by day Beast.
“You selected to be merciless as a substitute of compassionate; to be evil in spirit as a substitute of empathetic; to disregard what God asks us to do— ‘You shall love your neighbor as your self,’” echoed former RNC chairman Michael Steele, including:
“Matthew 22:39. Maybe Megyn you don’t really feel something for Alex since you don’t really feel something for your self.”
“You’ll be able to inform these folks aren’t truly non secular as a result of in the event that they had been they’d truly be fearful about going to hell,” Meidas Contact co-founder Brett Meiselas chimed in.
“If somebody mentioned they don’t really feel sorry for Charlie Kirk she would lose it but when it’s an ICU nurse who did nothing flawed then it’s OK, in keeping with Megyn. Good!” pundit Harry Sisson added.
Elsewhere in her broadcast, Kelly echoed Vice President JD Vance’s declare that Pretti was a part of the “engineered chaos” in Minneapolis.
“He was there with a loaded gun trying to trigger bother for the Border Patrol brokers, and that bother got here again on him,” she mentioned.
“I’m so sick of this bull—t. These are organized agitators who practice to disrupt and in some instances damage regulation enforcement.”
There was no proof that Pretti was trying to trigger bother, or that he was a part of any organized community, however these are claims that Kelly and others have been repeating for weeks.
It is going to be attention-grabbing to see how her rhetoric evolves if the Trump administration continues its gradual withdrawal from Minnesota.
