Most in the GOP are silent or backing the Trump administration, but a conspicuous few are speaking out.
A small but growing number of Republicans are raising public concerns about the killing Saturday of a 37-year-old Minnesota man by federal agents.
Hours after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on a Minneapolis street, one House GOP chair called for the top ICE leader and other Trump administration officials to publicly answer lawmakers’ questions. GOP Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Thom Tillis of North Carolina called for independent probes into the shooting, with Cassidy arguing the integrity of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security are “at stake.”

Thought I hit the wrong place and asked for MS Now.
“Republicans”, eh?
Most elected republicans support the Great Replacement
“”””GOP Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Thom Tillis of North Carolina called for independent probes into the shooting,””””
What a coincidence that all three are also on Trump’s S—T list.
I’d be more interested in someone saying something about 36,000+ protesters being murdered by the government in Iran when the internet went down.
Not Republicans ... RINOS. Get your terms correct.
Yeah that’s right OK lets let the left win then, open borders for everyone, 100 MILLION new illegals coming into this country that outta make those pricks happy then they can have the cheap labor they always wanted
RINO alert
.
Surrender Monkeys gonna Surrender
The same “republicans” who did nothing as President Otto Penn let millions come in illegally.
Cassidy, Murkowski and Tillis….of course!
Tillis, Murkowski and Cassidy are all useful idiots for the democrats.
Since Tillis announced he would not run for reelection, he has stopped sending weekly emails to his constituents touting his conservative positions and votes. He has joined the opposition and will join Murkowski and the Dems in blocking the president’s agenda.
Don’t they know only criminals carry guns? Donald Trump said so.
They really want us to stay home in November. They haven’t represented us since the powdered wig era.
Cassidy ain’t my Louisiana guy, Kennedy is. Cassidy is zLouosiaanas Mittens!
The dum doing the dum walking around ICEfolks armed and with more magazines.
HE FAFO’D!
When you engage in violent terrorist activities, sometimes (but not often enough) you get what you deserve.
Sadly, many more GOP politicians will be in full Cave Mode shortly — count on it — not just the obvious RINOs like the ones who are being fawned over in this article.
These quislings, and those who are about to join them, who are displaying such anguish over the deaths of two armed terrorists, probably had nothing whatsoever to say 5 years ago when unarmed Republican “rioters” were beaten and even murdered in cold blood by racist DC cops.
Their oh-so-virtuous words ring pretty hollow now.
Here’s hoping for a lot more “FO” to go with the continuing “FA”.
