"We wanted to have people who knew him speak about his memory—and to correct the record on some of the smear campaigns that we're seeing."
Alex Pretti’s coworkers and community gathered at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs on Sunday, sharing memories and stories of him—and called out the lies the federal government has been spreading about their friend.
"The lies told about him," said Senator Amy Klobuchar, who recently announced her candidacy for Minnesota governor. "Calling him a domestic terrorist, were the most hurtful things that they could ever imagine be said about their son."
"You've inspired and motivated the entire world with your final words: 'Are you okay?'" read Alex's coworker Josh Green, referencing the final words we hear Pretti say in the video of his killing.
Reporter Nate Halverson was there to share what those who knew Pretti wanted you to know. Watch.
