JD Vance sat down with The Daily Mail’s Phillip Nieto for an interview that covered quite a bit of ground, though one exchange stood out — in large part because Nieto asked the vice president a question that’s been on the minds of many.
“Have you apologized, did you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti?” the reporter asked.
“For what?” the Ohio Republican replied, as if the question were somehow foolish.
“For, you know, labeling him an assassin with ill intent,” Nieto explained.
Vance again described the intensive care unit nurse who was shot and killed by federal immigration officers as “a guy who showed up with ill intent to an ICE protest,” despite the fact that there was no such protest and that the vice president isn’t in a position to tell the public what Pretti was thinking.
Nieto pressed further, asking, “But if it’s determined that his civil rights were violated by this FBI investigation, will you apologize?”
Vance dismissed the line of inquiry as “hypothetical,” before concluding, “Like I said, we’re gonna let the investigation determine. … I don’t think it’s smart to prejudge the investigation.”

The interaction between Vance and reporter Philip Nieto has gone viral for its bluntness (video)
We apologize that your spawn was a dumbass.
His family deserves NO apology, he acted like a jackass and found out what happens when you behave like an idiot. I dont remember Joe Biden being told to apologize to the family of Ashlii Babbitt who was MURDERED by a prick who got given a MEDAL after wards
One in the pipe, Phil, you dumb jerk.
He’s not stumped. He’s just not playing the reporter’s tired, old, stupid “what if” games.
Try reaching for a gun on a traffic stop.
Ends the same way except the car seats get messy
The only apology that should be offered is the following:
I’m sorry that your son was brainwashed to the extent that he threw away his life attacking ICE officers in defense of those who entered his own country illegally. I’m sorry that he became a martyr for Tim Walz and Jacob Frey.
Alex’s family owes the U.S. citizens an apology from where I am sitting.
Where was Vance “stumped”? He wasn’t stumped at all.
More lies from MSDNC.
This isn’t Japan. We doing grovel and apologize for everything. And the idiot Pretti took a pistol and attacked the cops for a few weeks. It finally went sideways… so what?
Did Vance actually call him an “assassin”? Never saw that.
Vance, Noem, Miller, Hegseth, and Leavitt are the only ones that know how to talk to this media...the rest of em suck, Trump included.
What his parents deserve is a bill for the ammunition (and firearm cleaning supplies) expended on behalf of their progeny.
He’s ready for 2028.
hes def got my vote...
Mr. VP, I could just to kiss you! Thank you.
We live in two realities because journalists have created this other.... separate..... thing.
Narrative is more powerful than truth.
Alex Pretti’s family owes the Department of Homeland Security an apology for raising a trouble-maker who decided to interfere with law enforcement operations.
Apologize? For what indeed! Apologize that your son was a sorry misguided provocateur who got what he deserved?
