Democrats deride veterans affairs secretary for repeating false claims about Alex Pretti’s killing

Pretti, a VA nurse, was shot by federal agents in Minneapolis and was labeled a terrorist' by the administration

Democratic lawmakers assailed Doug Collins, the Veterans Affairs (VA) secretary for repeating Trump administration's claims on the killing of Alex Pretti, a VA nurse shot 10 times by federal immigration officials in Minneapolis, during a congressional hearing Wednesday.

Are you going to correct your cabinet colleagues when they called him a terrorist?" Mark Takano, a Democratic representative of California and the House Committee on Veterans Affairs' ranking member, asked Collins. The secretary declined to answer.
