00:00Her brother said that Renee Good was someone who could make you believe things were going to be okay,
00:07despite all the hardship, because she chose optimism.
00:11Alex Preddy was a Boy Scout, a choir member, an outdoorsman from Green Bay
00:16who lavished attention on his beloved dog, Jewel.
00:20His sister called her brother someone who had a way of lighting up every room that he walked into.
00:25But only a few hours after they were gunned down by your agents, you called Renee a domestic terrorist.
00:34You said Alex committed an act of domestic terrorism.
00:40Alex's parents responded to your calling their son a domestic terrorist.
00:46They said the sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting.
00:53And I want to give you a chance before the entire country to correct your false and defamatory claim.
01:01Based on what you know today, Madam Secretary, were Renee Good and Alex Preddy domestic terrorists?
01:11Congressman, what happened in Minnesota in those two incidents was an absolute tragedy.
01:17Were they domestic terrorists, as you said to the country?
01:20My condolences to their families, because I know that their lives will never be the same after that happened.
01:24Is that an apology for what you said?
01:26We, in those instances, offer as much information as we can from officers and agents on the ground in a
01:33chaotic scene that gets released to us.
01:34I'll repeat my question, reclaiming my time.
01:36Based on what you know today, Madam Secretary, based on what you know today,
01:41were Renee Good and Alex Preddy domestic terrorists?
01:47As you know, there's ongoing investigations that are being led by the FBI.
01:51Oh, but you didn't wait for the investigation, did you?
01:53You didn't wait for the evidence.
01:54You proclaimed that they were domestic terrorists at the time.
01:57Why did you do that?
01:58And you didn't wait to attack our law enforcement officers.
02:00Why did you do that?
02:01We're going into a dangerous situation.
02:02Why did you call them domestic terrorists?
02:03Because our ICE officers and our HSI officers that day risked their lives to protect that scene.
02:09So evidence could be reclaimed.
02:10So it could be used in the investigation.
02:12Because those violent rioters that were there.
02:14So you're proud of the fact that you called them domestic terrorists?
02:16Is that what you're telling America?
02:17HSI officers put their lives on the line to protect that scene.
02:20So evidence that we could have.
02:21Yes, they do.
02:22Yes, they do.
02:23But you told a lie about them.
02:25You said that they were domestic terrorists.
02:27Do you regret that?
02:29I offer my condolences to those families.
02:31Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Preddy domestic terrorists?
02:35There's ongoing investigations.
02:37So you still don't know?
02:38You think that's an open question?
02:40I would think you would want there to still be investigations going into these situations.
02:44Well, you stated the conclusion two hours after they were killed that they were domestic terrorists.
02:49I wanted to give you an opportunity to correct the record.
02:52Not just for their family, but for everybody in America who believes in the truth and fairness and honesty.
