Noem is an idiot and should be fired. I agree with Rand this whole thing wasn’t handled properly. I also didn’t like the administration saying Pretti had no right to bring a loaded gun to the protests.

He was an idiot bringing a gun to a protest and his intent was to shoot an ice agent in my opinion...

Those weren’t protests. Those are violent obstructionists interfering with the duties of law enforcement.

He could have a gun at a peaceful protest. If this had been a peaceful protest, this nincompoop would still be alive.

The administration misspoke. Pretti really had no right to possess a weapon while rioting.

Noem is GREAT! She might be our next president. I’d vote for her. She’s not going ANYWHERE!

IN THE MIDDLE OF A SKIRMISH WITH MULTIPLE ICE OFFICERS-—ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN-—AND DID.

PRETTI SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM LOSING A SIMILAR SKIRMISH 11 DAYS EARLIER.

HE CHALLENGED OFFICERS ——AND HE LOST.

GOOD RIDDANCE.

He had no right to bring a gun to a protest. Read MN law.

That deceased idiot didn’t just peacefully attend a protest, he confronted the Feds while armed. This was just a few days after he got into a previous physical altercation which he instigated with the feds. Pretti was an unhinged retard who deserves a Darwin Award. I think that one probably shouldn’t bring a gun to a protest if one plans to tussle with federal agents at that protest. I think Noem is OK gives the crap show she was working with.

None was the governor of SD for 6 yrs. She was also in Congress for 8 yrs. I’d take her record of accomplishment over yours any day.

It is no surprise that a POS troll like yourself would agree with Rand Paul. Rot in hell a-hole!
