Links to official statements from former Presidents

Two former US Presidents framed the killing of Alex Pretti as a defining moment. Clinton called the scenes “horrible” and wrote that this is one of those rare moments “where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.” The Obamas called it a “heartbreaking tragedy” and “a wake-up call to every American” that core national values are under assault.

President Clinton posted his on his verified Twitter/X account. President Obama used his official Medium account.

I traced back to the original sources as the information scattered across social media can’t always be verified. NBC News also commented on the statements.
