Fox News contributor Joe Concha insisted over the weekend that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey were “gaslighting” the public about the shooting death of Alex Pretti, only to falsely accuse Pretti of “literally” pulling a gun on an immigration enforcement officer.
Concha’s egregious comments came as Fox News immediately rallied around and defended the Trump administration following the death of Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who was shot 10 times by Border Patrol agents while serving as an observer. Over the weekend, Fox hosts and guests laid the blame for the shooting solely at Pretti’s feet while asserting the agents’ actions were fully justified.
