Karoline Leavitt throws Stephen Miller under the bus over calling Alex Pretti 'terrorist'

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to defend aide Stephen Miller after he described Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse gunned down by Border Patrol, as an "assassin" who "tried to murder federal agents."

During Monday's White House briefing, one reporter noted that the Department of Homeland Security had accused Pretti of wanting to do "maximum damage" and "massacre law enforcement."

"Stephen Miller on Saturday posted that, or called Pretti a would-be assassin," the reporter said.
