"We look at the protesters in Iran, and they are patriots; they are people who are trying to overthrow a repressive regime, Trent said. Here, if you have protesters, they should be shot in the face, and anybody that does should have absolute immunity. Trent added, So, what's funny to me is, when is violence, when is protest, when is this all acceptable?"
"I mean, I think it's a very American idea to not want police forces to be able to shoot Americans indiscriminately. And the idea that JD Vance says they should have absolute immunity? I thought this guy was a hillbilly. He had a book, Hillbilly Elegy. And I can tell ya, hillbilly values, at least where I'm from in Appalachia, are that the government ought not to be able to have absolute immunity when they shoot you in the face."
President Donald Trump promised earlier this month to intervene in Iran if the regime violently kills peaceful protestors demonstrating against the repressive right-wing Islamic regime. Corbin Trent contrasted that stance with a recent ICE-involved shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis and questioned unequal outrage. Trent called Iranian demonstrators patriots attempting to overthrow a repressive regime and noted domestic protesters face policies that could permit officers to shoot them with immunity. Fox News Live anchor Rich Edson questioned lack of large U.S. protests against Iran. Trent pointed to ICE protests and criticized calls for absolute immunity for officers, invoking JD Vance, Hillbilly Elegy, and Appalachian values.
