In an uncharacteristic moment on Sunday, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo appeared "outwardly skeptical" of FBI Director Kash Patel as she pressed him on the latest DHS killing.
In the interview, Bartiromo touches on the DHS killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The host asks the head of the FBI, "But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten?" She then added, "He was filming it."
Patel didn't answer, instead saying, "That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case." But that didn't stop people from noticing Bartiromo's delivery.
Independent journalist Aaron Rupar shared the video, exclaiming, "Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!"
Legal expert Ryan Goodman seconded that, saying, "Even Maria Bartiromo is outwardly skeptical of these B.S. lines from the administration."
"We all know what we saw," he added on Sunday.
