INGERSOLL: They’re Not Actually Crying For Alex Pretti. They’re Looking At The Data

Greetings, Dear Reader,

Welcome back to State of the Day, where I strip the euphemism and misdirection off national politics and give it to you straight; no ice, no mixer.

Ever wonder why there are no murals of Iryna Zarutska in liberal cities?

 

NO TEARS FOR IRYNA

The good news is, with every whiny little tear, we’re watching the life drain from the eyes of the neo-Marxist left. The bad news is all of this is going to get way more painful before it’s all over.

Jimmy Kimmel cried for Alex Pretti. Kimmel crying generally isn’t news and it won’t be this go-round either. The last time his tears triggered any actual headlines was when he was benched for spreading misinfo about Charlie Kirk’s death and was forced to apologize on air.

Jon Stewart is simply outraged about Alex Pretti, as he was for Renee Good. “They’re lying,” he said on his most recent show. “We saw it. That’s how brazenly they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth.”

He called the shooting “murder.”

To his credit, the initial communications from the GOP about Alex Pretti were over the top. A “terrorist,” an “assassin.” Pretti was neither of these things. He was just dumb and overwhelmed with liberal propaganda. You could throw a rock from where he was killed and hit a fraudulent Somali business or two. No joke, right on the same street.

But a “murder” is also over the top. Pretti had previously broken a rib getting in altercations with federal police. So he had a history of physically confronting them. If anyone was doing the premeditated targeting the day Pretti died, it was Pretti himself.
