Episode notes
Credibility Gap After Minnesota Shooting
- The Minnesota killing exposed an immediate credibility gap between federal claims and video evidence.
- Krystal Ball argues the administration's rapid framing (brandish, massacre, domestic terrorism) broke public trust.
Video Undercuts Brandishing Claim
- Video shows agents remove a weapon from Alex Peretti before shots were fired, undermining federal claims he brandished.
- Hosts conclude the footage makes this a clear 'bad shoot' and not a justifiable use of deadly force.
Charged Federal Rhetoric Inflamed Outrage
- Federal officials used charged language (massacre, domestic terrorist, brandish) immediately after the shooting.
- Hosts argue these legal terms were misapplied and escalated public outrage.
