NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon got torched by a fellow CNN guest after she characterized a federal agent’s fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti as “a scrum that ended in a bad shoot” on Monday.

Speaking on CNN’s “NewsNight” Monday, Ungar-Sargon slammed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for suggesting Pretti was a domestic terrorist, calling it “unforgivable” and “unjustifiable.” “I don’t see how a person should be allowed to remain in public service after lying so blatantly to the American people,” she said of Noem.

But Ungar-Sargon nonetheless praised President Donald Trump for being “on a very different page” from Noem.

“He refused to say that he supports the ICE agent in the shooting until we have more information. He wants to know what’s on the footage, which I do as well, and I hope that that gets exposed,” she said. “That said, Alex Pretti was obviously not murdered. He was in a scrum that ended in a bad shoot.”

A video of Pretti’s killing showed multiple federal agents forcing him to the ground, beating him, and pulling a firearm out of his holster before firing multiple shots at him, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.

Fellow panelist Cari Champion, who hosts the podcast “Naked Sports,” pushed back on Ungar-Sargon’s remarks as soon as she was able to speak.

The president “can’t walk back” the immigration enforcement he started, Champion said. “They’ve lost the plot. The plot was deportation. The plot was to get rid of violent immigrants who were taking jobs and harming people in this country, etc. The plot wasn’t to kill American citizens.”

“He was murdered,” Champion added of Pretti. “It wasn’t a scrum. He was murdered. We have to start using the word.”

As multiple people interjected, Champion asserted, “We’re not lying today.”

Trump, in fact, blamed Pretti’s killing on Minnesota officials and local law enforcement on Truth Social Saturday.

“Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off? It is stated that many of these Police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE had to protect themselves — Not an easy thing to do!” he wrote.

Discussing the federal agents who have flooded Minnesota to enforce the president’s agenda, Champion said, “They are intimidating people. They are scaring people. They are bullying people because they have been told to do that.”

“Everyone did what they had been told to do. This is the result of what they had been told to do,” she later added.

Regardless, Ungar-Sargon stood by her statement on X after the show’s airing, telling followers, “Alex Pretti’s death was a tragedy but it was not murder.”
