A MAGA billionaire who gave $10,000 to the shooter of Renee Good has donated the same amount to the family of slain nurse Alex Pretti. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman came under fire in January after he donated funds to Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed 37-year-old mom-of-three Good. Pretti was shot dead in Minneapolis on Saturday as he protested ICE’s presence in the city, with a GoFundMe in his name having surpassed $1 million at the time of writing. Of that pot, $10,000 is reported by The Wall Street Journal to have come from Pershing Square founder Ackman, who previously claimed he had also tried to give money to Good’s family, following her shooting on Jan. 7, ”but it was already closed as it had achieved its $1.5 million fundraising objective,” he said. “My purpose in supporting Ross and attempting to support Good was not to make a political statement,” Ackman said previously. “I was simply continuing my longstanding commitment to assisting those accused of crimes of providing for their defense.”
