At least one Republican senator is calling for a full investigation into the incident that led to the death of an ICU nurse by DHS immigration agents.

After the death of Alex Pretti, who appears to have been shot by agents after being disarmed while carrying a concealed weapon, one GOP lawmaker had some strong words for the "credibility" of the GOP-priority agencies.

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. chimed in, "The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing."

1. Ah yes bill cassidy who assured everyone rfk jr was ok. I guess this is good news.

2. Good news, but he's only doing it because Trump didn't endorse him.

[sheshe2]

5. You don't know that. nt

[mr715]

6. You are correct, I do not know that.

But I'm feeling cynical.

I hope for a moral awakening. Anything is possible.

7. Pretty sure you are correct though

3. Thanks for visiting this hell on us mr. Fucking slow on the uptake, now you're worried?

4. Disturbed is when you discover a rat in the garage.

This disturbed shit is complete bullshit.

8. No hero he.

Trump announced that he was supporting his opponent in the primary. That’s the only reason Cassidy is “turning”.

9. 'Disturbed' huh? Is that what they call being 'concerned' now

Maybe he’s been hangout with his fellow senator from Maine.

10. Trump: "HE HAD A GUN, ONLY CRIMINALS CARRY GUNS ON OUR STREETS, WE NEED LAW AND ORDER."

That's more likely to get investigations from Republicans than the killing.

Maybe even they will see his mental decline now...because only a Republican that had lost their freaking mind would say such a thing....

11. About goddamn time. I'll take it.

12. "Good and Pretti" reminds me of the verse Philippians 4:8

New International Version
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

New Living Translation
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

English Standard Version
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Berean Standard Bible
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

13. There is no way to paint a pretty picture of this murder.

The visual evidence is overwhelming. I expect some more will follow. I can see no.way to defend Noem. I just hope she is prosecuted for obstruction of justice along with Todd Blanch for obstruction of.justice for withholding evidence
