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.”

Well, it certainly looks like his much larger father or grandpa was one.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say we should stop calling them nazis. Miller, Bovino, they all wear that comparison as a badge of honor, and it's clear their supporters don't mind in the slightest.

These guys are just fucking losers. Full of hate, finally finding an outlet. We have to fight them, but I also pity them.

Sorry I’m gonna call a spade a spade. They can be proud of the moniker but everyone else in the civilized world knows it’s not a badge of honor.

They are losers. They are also nazis.

Nazis were proud of being called Nazis. People still called them Nazis.

A badge of honor? I'm surprised they haven't made it a hate crime.

They like acting like Nazis and rubbing it in other people's faces, but they will always pull out the victim card when you call them out on it. That's part of the thrill for them.

Like being pedophiles. We all know it. They know it. But it's violent to call the lovers of freezepeach pedophiles just because they commit acts of pedophelia.

Miller/Noem/Bovino/Trump anytime anyone tries to ask why ICE keeps killing innocent people: "Don't commit your hate crimes here! Hate crime!!!"
