JD Vance was asked if he’d apologise to Alex Pretti’s family and his answer is a chilling glimpse into his soul, such as it is
You won’t need reminding of the horrific killing of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old nurse and US citizen who was shot dead by ICE agents in Minneapolis.
Homeland security said the fatal shooting was in self-defence, presumably because the federal officers were worried he was going to harm them with the mobile phone eye witnesses said Pretti had in his hand (rather than a weapon).
As we await the full whitewash, sorry, report into Pretti’s killing, vice president JD Vance was asked if he would apologise to the family of the dead man.
And his answer – not least his first two words and the expression on his face as he says them – is surely a chilling glimpse of Vance’s soul, or what passes for one.

The little smile after “For what,” relishing the opportunity to seem cold-blooded, and from someone who pretends to be a pious Catholic toward a man whose death was mourned by the Catholic Church. Vance is an awkward dork who just decided to don the mask of the King of the Online… https://t.co/lfUL2Bsjpz

JD Vance had the opportunity to be a normal human being and show some empathy for the family of a man who was murdered.
To nobody’s surprise, he’s doubling down on being an asshole. https://t.co/O3kcKxaA3X

For me, it’s the smug condescension that really takes Vance’s repulsiveness as a public figure to another level https://t.co/8uRhtJC3xN

He smiled after his response. Our vice president finds it amusing that a man was murdered and his civil rights were violated. Imagine being the family and seeing this. I hope this destroys any future political aspirations this couch fucker has. https://t.co/PLTOdnFuWN

That J.D. interview clip where he’s asked about Alex Pretti’s family is the closest I’ve come to chucking my phone across the room out of rage in a long time. Just a smug ass little ghoul.
