"Vance slammed the media in a White House presser on Thursday for failing to report that the agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during the confrontation in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning was dragged by a car six months ago resulting in 33 stitches in his leg. He added: So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile? The vice president criticized the media for portraying Good as some innocent woman who was out for a drive and accused her of deliberately trying to obstruct a legitimate law enforcement operation."
"Yeah, a couple of things here. The vice president using his position and the podium to say things he just doesn't know anything about at all, and also to malign the victim, this woman who is dead, this mother. And then raising more questions, actually, about ICE. So if this guy is so sensitive and the victim of a trauma, what's he doing out in the field? It's just a question."
Vice President JD Vance defended an ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during a Minneapolis confrontation, noting the agent had been dragged by a car six months earlier and required 33 stitches. Vance accused the media of failing to report the prior injury and suggested the agent might be sensitive to someone ramming him with an automobile. Vance also criticized coverage that portrayed Good as an innocent driver and accused her of obstructing a law enforcement operation. Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski played Vance's remarks, accused him of maligning the dead mother, and questioned why a traumatized, injured agent remained in the field and whether trauma explains being "trigger happy."
