Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns Americans They’re Being “Incited Into Civil War” After Minneapolis Shooting
Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a stark warning that Americans are “being incited into civil war,” tying the comment to a deadly clash between federal agents and protesters in Minneapolis this weekend.
The former Republican congresswoman made the remarks on social media as tension continues to mount after 37-year-old Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal immigration officers during a protest, according to multiple outlets.
Greene told supporters of former President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement they must reject extremes and “take off their political blinders,” arguing that political escalation on both sides is dangerous and unproductive.
She defended constitutional rights including peaceful protest and legal firearm carry, saying there is “nothing wrong with legally peacefully protesting and videoing.”
The shooting has become a flashpoint. Video and eyewitness accounts shared publicly show Pretti holding a phone, not drawing a weapon, when agents fired; federal authorities describe their actions as defensive, and an official investigation is ongoing.

“You are all being incited into civil war, yet none of it solves any of the real problems that we all face, and tragically people are dying,” Greene wrote.
Her warning underscores how polarized reactions to law enforcement actions can amplify national divisions and erode trust between communities and institutions.
Critics from across the political spectrum are now calling for transparency and independent review of the incident as public protests continue.
Officials have yet to release a complete timeline of events from the shooting, and further statements from federal and local authorities are expected.
What happens next may hinge on the results of the investigation and whether political leaders can temper rhetoric before tensions worsen.
