I don’t know why Chad Mizelle, who recently resigned from his job as chief of staff for Attorney General Pam Bondi after an unusually short tenure, felt the need to go on CNN and blame Alex Pretti for his own murder in Minneapolis. Even Fox News has backed away from that.
Whatever Mizelle’s reason, anchor Jake Tapper unloaded on him for repeatedly suggesting that Pretti deserved capital punishment for protesting Department of Homeland Security tactics. Raw Story, which first wrote about this segment, said Mizelle “appeared to be tongue-tied and surprised” by Tapper’s fiery responses.
Tapper began by giving Mizelle an opening to make a legit argument on behalf of the Trump administration. Tapper said that behind the scenes “a lot of people in the Trump administration” are blaming Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino for “the chaos” in Minneapolis. “Do you think that the tone, maybe even the operation will change with Tom Homan in charge?” Tapper asked.
