U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Monday said nobody thinks the actions of a man who was shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minnesota on Saturday reach the legal standard for domestic terrorism.

“I don’t think anybody thinks that they were comparing what happened on Saturday to the legal definition of domestic terrorism,” Blanche said on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Monday.
