- Loesch told CBS Mornings she has “a lot of questions,” including why lethal force was used in the killing of Alex Pretti.
- She said bystander video appears to show an agent disarming Pretti before shots were fired, but stressed waiting for a full investigation.
- Loesch argued that legally carrying a firearm does not prove ill intent, while cautioning that inserting oneself into a federal operation is unlawful.
- She pressed the administration to choose words carefully after top officials characterized Pretti as intending to kill agents, a framing she criticized.
- Her comments came as President Trump said the shooting is under review and announced he is sending border adviser Tom Homan to Minnesota.
