BREAKING: Kristi Noem is now implicating President Trump for the comments she and Greg Bovino made calling Alex Pretti a “domestic terrorist.” “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen [Miller]” Of course it was Trump. Their statements were identical. Trump obviously pre-approved this statement.

@NickyAnnB_ However, for crimes against humanity, such as the wanton killing of civilians like Renée Good and Alex Pretti, “I was just following orders” is not a valid defense and has not been since the Nuremberg trials. Both US politicians and US judiciary of all people should know this.

They didn’t “misspeak” — they scripted a lynch narrative, then waited for the outrage to peak. Now Noem shrugs and points upstairs: “Trump and Stephen Miller told me.” Of course they did. The talking points matched because the lie had an author. This is how the machine works: kill the story, smear the dead, then rotate the blame like it’s PR. If your defense is “I was following orders,” you’re confessing — not explaining.

😉

Trump administration is so fcked up unbelievable ☝👎🤡🤮🖕🤬

@FLMAN69

There’s one dickhead behind this.

This is how rats scatter.

So these IDIOTS HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ANY LAW WHAT SO EVER??????

The rats are scrambling

The fish rots from the head. Of course Trump is in on this; they’re doing his bidding. Now that it’s falling apart they want to throw each other under the bus but they’re all unfit and criminal. Let’s not forget

That still won't excuse you from your trials.

Trump is an asshole. Trump has always been an asshole. Trump is not what's wrong with America. Americans who knowingly support, defend, protect and enable an asshole are what's wrong with America. This problem will not be gone when Trump is gone.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem made demonstrably false statements about the shooting by United States Border Patrol agents of 37-year old VA intensive care nurse Alex Pretti to blame the victim and exculpate agents. Pretti had a SIG Sauer P320 AXG Combat 9mm semiautomatic handgun but had a carry permit in Minnesota and a Second Amendment right to possess. Noem’s statements violated 18 U.S.C. § 1001, a federal statute making it a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison to knowingly and willfully make materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or representations in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the United States. Contrasted below is the false statement by Noem about the Petti shooting and a video analysis narrative by BBC Editor Ros Atkins. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem gave this account “An individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual but the armed suspect reacted violently.” BBC News Analysis Editor Ros Atkins narrates, while reviewing the video as follows: [excerpted] “Alex Pretti had nothing in one hand and a phone in the other. “We see two people interacting with an agent. We then see an agent push one of those people. Then push the second person. Alex Pretti steps between them and the agent and is pepper sprayed. He’s wrestled to the ground by a number of agents. He’s on his knees bent over, his hands are on the floor and he’s struggling against being held down. One agent repeatedly strikes in the direction of his head. “And take note of this agent. He has nothing in his right hand, reaches down and removes what appears to be gun from Alex Pretti’s waistband. Then he steps back holding the pistol which appears to match this image shared by the authorities. Carrying this type of gun is legal in the state of Minnesota with a valid permit. The police say they believe Alex Pretti had one. “Less than a second after the gun is removed, an agent fires the first shot. As Alex Pretti lies motionless, further shots are fired while agents are standing clear of his body. In total 10 shots were fired in 5 seconds. In all of these videos, we don’t see Alex Pretti holding a gun."

How does Noem think that saying everything she's done was ordered by Miller & Trump is going to help her? Didn't work out for Nazis at the Nuremburg war crime trials at all....

Why not fix the whole situation…

Following #Trump orders and now they are pushing back on #Trump

Of course it was Trump: a fascist who became President.

So I'm a gonna tell . This getting to the point of them eating each other's face! I'm here 4 it.

More likely Miller. Trump can’t come up with anything that quickly

Look look they're doing your commie work!

Trumps doing exactly what he did to Elon Musk, he's playing Good cop, Bad cop, he ordered Elon to make the cuts, then blamed Elon when public opinion changed, the same playbook, Trump gave them orders & now public opinion changed, he's the Good Cop & Nome, Bovino are the Bad cops

Ironic how the self-described domestic terrorist party is now murdering people in the streets.

Throwing one another under the bus is a fight Noem will lose but I love to see her and Trump going at one another. #catFight

So she's just a parrot who can't think for herself? She should have resisted just blindly following Trump and she should have told him that the evidence points otherwise.

I’d say Stephen Miller is the root of all of it. Trump doesn’t have a brain cell left in his head. Together they all make up an axis of pure evil.

Dear Ed remember this

So while Dictator and Dracula are trying to push Dog Killer under the bus, she's trying to push them under the same bus they unleashed to destroy her? Nothing like Republican ❤️!

Right. Two government officials make the same prepared statement after a tragedy. Nothing new about that. What amazes me... is how EVERY Liberal on X can issue the same statement... at the same time... about almost anything! 🤣🤣 Elected officials, media and professional sh*t posters like you... in perfect unison on every subject.
