The tide of public opinion has turned towards ICE and DHS operations in Minneapolis, and the Trump administration is within the strategy of eradicating a few of its most outstanding officers from the 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 have 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 alleged to really feel sorry for Alex Pretti, however I don’t. I don’t,” Kelly proudly instructed her viewers.
“Have you learnt why I wasn’t shot by Border Patrol this weekend? As a result of I saved my a-s inside and outside 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 12 months 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 line with The Each day Beast.
“You selected to be merciless as an alternative of compassionate; to be evil in spirit as an alternative 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 may inform these individuals aren’t really spiritual as a result of in the event that they have been they’d really be frightened 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 unsuitable then it’s OK, in line 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 hassle for the Border Patrol brokers, and that hassle 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 harm legislation enforcement.”
There was no proof that Pretti was trying to trigger hassle, 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 fascinating to see how her rhetoric evolves if the Trump administration continues its gradual withdrawal from Minnesota.
