Ten days after ICE’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, DC insider Michael Whatley is still silent, even as Republican Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd join bipartisan calls for an independent investigation. Even on the rare occasion he comes out of hiding, Whatley refuses to directly comment on the death of an American citizen. 

WFAE: “Also quiet: Likely Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley.”

Charlotte Observer: “The issue has also reached North Carolina’s closely watched Senate race, with the North Carolina Democratic Party criticizing Republican candidate Michael Whatley for not commenting on the situation in Minnesota.”

The Center Square: “Republican Michael Whatley is a bit quieter.”
