President Trump Explains Why Renee Good’s Death Hit Him ‘Worse’ Than Alex Pretti’s: Her Parents Were ‘Trump Fans’

President Trump is speaking out about the two lives lost in fatal shootings by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, explaining why one death affected him “worse” than the other.

The 79-year-old president appeared on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show on Tuesday, January 27, where he described the deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti as “terrible.”

However, Trump said he felt “even worse” about Good’s death after learning her parents were “big Trump fans.”

“Bottom line, it was terrible. Both of them were terrible; the other was terrible too,” Trump said.

“And I’m not sure about his parents, but I know her parents were big Trump fans, makes me feel bad anyway. But I guess you could say even worse, they were tremendous Trump people, Trump fans,” the president said, according to People, while speaking of Pretti and Good’s passings.

Good was killed by federal agents on January 7, while Pretti was killed on January 24. Both were 37 years old.

Trump previously learned that Good’s father, Timothy Ganger, was a “big supporter” of his during an interview earlier this month with CBS’ Tony Dokoupil. When Dokoupil asked what the president would like to say to Ganger — who was described as “heartbroken” after the Trump administration labeled Good a “domestic terrorist — Trump replied, “Well, I wanna say to the father that I love all of our people. They can be on the other side. … And I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person. But, you know, her actions were pretty tough. And I’ve seen it many ways and many different shapes and forms.”

Trump continued: “ICE is working very hard to get them out. Their job is being made very, very difficult. And, you know, when you look at that tape- it can be viewed two ways, I guess. But when you look at the way that was — that car was pulled away — there were a couple of versions of that tape that are very, very bad.”

Meanwhile, protests erupted following the circulation of a video showing Pretti — an ICU nurse at a veterans hospital — filming ICE agents with his cell phone.

In a statement to People, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the shooting occurred during a “targeted operation” against an “illegal alien wanted for violent assault.”

McLaughlin claimed that a man “approached” officers while armed with a handgun and “violently resisted” as they attempted to disarm him. The man was later identified as Pretti, who was a lawful gun owner with a permit, according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.

Pretti’s parents later published a statement that circulated widely on social media, calling the DHS’s account of their son’s death “sickening lies,” per CBS News.
