Stephen Miller, Not (Just) Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino, Must Be Held Accountable - emptywheel

Among the lies that Melugin disseminated after the murder were that: The person CBP was snatching was "an illegal alien wanted for violent assault" That Pretti "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" "[T]he armed suspect violently resisted" "Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject" "[T]his looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement" "200 rioters arrived at the scene"
