The Left Was Right: The ICE Murder of Alex Pretti & the Cost of Ego

from Political Malpractice · host Political Malpractice

They called it "hysteria." They called it "Trump Derangement Syndrome." But when ICE agents gun down an ICU nurse and veteran caregiver in the streets, can we finally admit the warnings were valid?In this episode of Political Malpractice, we dissect the harrowing murder of Alex Pretti—a case that exposes the lethal reality of the administration's "law and order" narrative. We look at the facts DHS tried to bury: Pretti wasn’t a "domestic terrorist"; he was a healer caught in the crosshairs of an unleashed federal force.We also have the hard conversation about Ego and Pride. Why do so many voters refuse to see what is happening right in front of them? We explore the psychology of "sunk cost"—how the fear of admitting they were wrong is keeping good people from facing the reality that Trump is exactly who the Left warned he would be.
