Former ESPN star Adrian Wojnarowski made a plea to his followers on social media following a Border Patrol-involved shooting in Minnesota that left one person dead over the weekend.

“Confront fascism,” he wrote without further explanation.
Wojnarowski, who is now the general manager of the St. Bonaventure Bonnies men’s basketball team, made a critical comment about President Donald Trump after the United States captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
“Just an absolute disgrace,” he wrote on Threads at the time after sharing an anti-Trump column in The New York Times.
During his time at ESPN, Wojnarowski went viral in 2020 when he responded to an email press release from Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., with an explicit statement. “Fuck you,” he responded to the Republican legislator.

ESPN suspended Wojnarowski for his response. He later apologized.
“I was disrespectful and made a regrettable mistake. I regret the way I handled myself and am immediately contacting Senator Hawley to apologize directly,” he wrote at the time. “I also need to apologize to my colleagues at ESPN because I know my actions were unacceptable and I should not reflect on any of them.”
Now, Wojnarowski is returning to political waters. This time, launching an apparent criticism of the White House.
The victim of Saturday’s shooting in Minneapolis was identified as Alex J. Pretti. He was shot and killed after allegedly confronting agents during a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation in the southern part of the city.

The shooting death came a few weeks after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. DHS said Good was shot in self-defense after he used his SUV in a way that posed a threat. DHS said the video showed Good interfering with ICE officers by parking his vehicle on the road in an apparent attempt to block federal vehicles.
