Minneapolis: Bash presses Gregory Bovino on Alex Pretti shooting

Published | Video Starts at 14:57

I think an investigation is great. But the Homeland Security Secretary said he was brandishing a weapon. Do you have evidence that we haven't seen that he was brandishing a weapon? He was. He brought a semiautomatic weapon to a riot, assaulted federal officers, and at some point they saw that weapon. So I do believe the secretary is 100% spot on in what she said. Why would you bring a weapon and assault a federal officer if you did not have intent to harm or delay or obstruct that federal officer with a weapon? (14:57–15:06)
