WWE personality and media host Peter Rosenberg has been vocal about the shooting death of ICU nurse Alex Preti, offering a candid and forceful reaction.
After watching a video that reportedly shows federal agents fatally shooting Preti, who was unarmed and recording the scene, Rosenberg took to Twitter/X to condemn the act as cowardly and targeted his frustration at those defending the shooting online.
He wrote, “They murdered an ER nurse because he was filming their misdeeds. He’s a coward. A sick coward. And if you’re commenting in defense of that, you’re a coward too.”
Rosenberg continued, expressing shock that anyone could justify the incident after watching the footage, reflecting a sense of widespread anger and disbelief nationwide. He added, “I can’t believe we’re so divided and so twisted that people can watch this video and blame the victim… This is day-to-day logic… There was absolutely no reason to kill this man… I don’t see him fighting back at all, and he certainly didn’t threaten anyone with a gun… It’s a disgrace.”
The video, which has been widely shared, shows federal agents disarming Preti moments before Border Patrol agents shoot and kill her. While federal officials have claimed the agents acted in self-defense, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has publicly dismissed this explanation. The incident has sparked protests in Minneapolis and other cities, with calls for justice and accountability.
Rosenberg is not alone in speaking out; WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley also responded to the footage, describing it as “a murder in broad daylight followed by a character assassination at the highest levels of government.”
As public outrage mounts, voices like Rosenberg’s and Foley’s are joining the chorus demanding transparency and answers.
