Gregory Bovino applauded his agents’ actions in Minnesota, despite one citizen being killed by agents.

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino on Sunday said his Customs and Border Patrol agents are “the victims” after they shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minnesota. In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Dana Bash pointed out that Bovino had repeatedly referred to Pretti as a “suspect” as he defended CBP’s training and de-escalation tactics.

“With respect, it feels as though in some ways you’re blaming the victim here,” Bash said.

Bovino replied, “The victim? The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I’m not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put himself in that situation.”

    I think you're probably right if what you mean is he's going to be killed to further inflame tensions. Somewhat tangential, but I'd also be scared if I was Usha Vance.

    Dude isn’t even a political appointee. He’s a regular old career civil servant (GS-15 to be precise) who pretends he’s far more important than he is. He is a walking hatch act violation and I hope he eventually rots in prison and loses his pension.

    If Abercrombie & Fitch had a tacticool line of clothing, Bovino would be the photoshoot model. I can smell the cologne and teenage insecurity through this photograph even though by all appearances this is a fully grown adult man.

    Bovino needs to be deported from earth. To the sun, to mars, to hell, I don't care but he doesn't belong here and society is better off without him.

    These agents are the real victims. Do you know how much strain a finger must exert in order to pull a trigger?

    Highest priority is to start killing people like this. You can kill 100 ice agents and they will just find more. We need to start taking off heads of those in charge.

    A narcissist is always the victim. DARVO is their natural reaction.

    They ought to be careful what they wish for. It is very dangerous to pre-normalize ICE being assaulted with firearms. What if violent extremists took that as a sign to escalate to bombs or something? They just leave their shit lying around everywhere, put their guys in hotels, dress up in costumes; all very irresponsible.
