'For what?' Vance refuses to apologize for Alex Pretti claims [View all]

Vice President JD Vance isn't apologizing for echoing the claim that Alex Pretti was an "assassin" following the intensive care nurse's shooting death during a confrontation with immigration agents in Minneapolis last month.

Vance reposted a social media post from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller shortly after Pretti's death on Jan. 24. Responding to comments by Sen. Chris Murphy, Miller wrote: "An assassin tried to murder federal agents and this is your response."

During an interview with the Daily Mail on Feb. 3, the vice president didn't back away from claims that Pretti was a grave threat to law enforcement.

"For what?" Vance replied when asked whether he would apologize to Pretti's family. When the Mail interviewer pointed to Vance labeling Pretti "an assassin with ill intent," the vice president responded that "he's a guy who showed up with ill intent to an ICE protest."
