xQc publicly criticized fellow streamer Asmongold during a recent broadcast after watching him discuss a fatal shooting involving federal immigration agents.
xQc reacted to Asmongold’s commentary about a situation where ICE shot and killed Alex Pretti. The victim had reportedly been recording or intervening when agents detained a woman.
xQc took issue with how Asmongold framed the situation. According to xQc, Asmongold argued that the victim’s actions—being present, getting involved, or being armed—made the deadly outcome predictable. xQc characterized this as victim-blaming and drew a direct comparison to arguments used to excuse sexual assault.
“This is ‘she was asking for it’ level arguments,” xQc said while watching Asmongold’s take.
Asmongold suggested waiting for body camera footage before drawing conclusions. But many pointed out that federal immigration agents often don’t wear body cameras, making that evidence unlikely to exist.
The details about whether the victim was armed are still coming out, but at this moment it looks like he was armed, but it was taken away before he was murdered. The number of how many times he was shot, and the exact sequence of events are still coming together.
