Bill Clinton says Trump admin 'told us not to believe what we've seen' after latest Minnesota shooting

Alex Pretti, 37, was shot and killed on Saturday by Border Patrol agents while recording federal immigration operations in Minneapolis

Former President Bill Clinton said on Sunday, after another fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving federal immigration agents, that agents are engaging in "increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics" and that the Trump administration told Americans not to believe what they can see for themselves.

Alex Pretti, 37, was shot and killed on Saturday by Border Patrol agents while recording federal immigration operations in Minneapolis. An ICU nurse, Pretti appeared to be attempting to attend to a woman agents knocked down when he was sprayed with an irritant, pushed to the ground and beaten. An agent was seen pulling Pretti's gun from his waistband before other agents fired several shots and killed him.

The shooting follows recent unrest over the ICE-involved killing of Renee Nicole Good in the same city earlier this month.

"In recent weeks, we've watched horrible scenes play out in Minneapolis and other communities that I never thought would take place in America. People, including children, have been seized from their homes, workplaces, and the street by masked federal agents," Clinton said in a statement.

"Peaceful protesters and citizens exercising their constitutional right to observe and document law enforcement have been arrested, beaten, teargassed, and most searingly, in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot and killed," he continued.

Clinton said "this is unacceptable" and "should have been avoided."

"To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we've seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities," he said.

Bill Clinton should be more worried about his not showing up for a Congressional disposition

That stupid defiance could finally put him, and Hillary, behind bars

Bill Clinton, whose AG ordered Waco assault that killed children, fumes about Minneapolis ICE shootings

For many social media users, the irony was inescapable.

Former President Bill Clinton, whose first term started with the bloodbath in Waco, Texas, and whose second term included impeachment on charges of lying under oath, took to social media on Sunday to weigh in on the leftist violence erupting in Minnesota.

And the responses it stirred were scathing.

Clinton not only implicitly blamed the loss of two lives on President Donald Trump's administration, he accused the administration of lying about it.

"Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come," Clinton wrote. "This is one of them."

Clinton's record, as many users of the social media platform X noted, doesn't exactly give him the moral high ground.

In 1993, then Attorney General Janet Reno ordered the assault on the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas, that resulted in the deaths of 76 Branch Davidians -- including two dozen children -- as well as four federal agents, as KWKT-TV in Waco noted in a report on the confrontation's 30th anniversary.

Decades later, the truth behind the Waco deaths remains shrouded in controversy, particularly the origin of the fire that engulfed the compound on April 19, 1993. But the loss of life is an inescapable fact -- and it happened on Clinton's watch.
