Gregory Bovino applauded his agents’ actions in Minnesota, despite one citizen being killed by agents.

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino on Sunday said his Customs and Border Patrol agents are “the victims” after they shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minnesota. In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Dana Bash pointed out that Bovino had repeatedly referred to Pretti as a “suspect” as he defended CBP’s training and de-escalation tactics.

“With respect, it feels as though in some ways you’re blaming the victim here,” Bash said.

Bovino replied, “The victim? The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I’m not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put himself in that situation.”

      True, especially if you include the ROTCCub Scouts.

      Also, FYI it’s just called Scouting now because they accept everyone and aren’t hamstrung by the same troop-ruining insurance agents and greedy capitalist pigs that ruined Girl Scouts.
