On Wednesday, footage from Jan. 13 of an altercation involving Alex Pretti was published by The News Movement. After the agents climb into their SUV and begin to drive away, Pretti repeatedly kicks the vehicle, eventually breaking their taillight. Still, the unearthed video of Pretti does get at a larger truth that those seeking to canonize him are loath to acknowledge. The seeds of street violence have been tended to not just by the Trump administration, but progressives in political office and the press. And that’s the incriminating truth that those dismissing the new Pretti video altogether hope to elide.
