"Do you know why I wasn't shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my a-- inside and out of their operations."

Megyn Kelly Doesn't Feel 'Sorry' for Alex Pretti

Kelly's comments come days after Pretti was shot dead by Border Patrol agents in Minnesota on January 25. "It's very simple," the journalist continued. "If I felt strongly enough about what the government was doing, that I would go out and protest, I would do it peacefully on the sidewalk without interfering."Kelly suggested whistles and yelling as means for peaceful protesting, because "interfering is where you go south." "If you do anything that resembles resisting, you're in serious trouble," she said.

"I'm so sick of this bull----. These are organized agitators who train to disrupt and in some cases hurt law enforcement."

Donald Trump made headlines on January 26 for strongly implying that Pretti's death was due to him carrying a "fully loaded" gun, despite him being lawfully permitted.

"That doesn't play good either."
