Hillary Clinton is drawing backlash from President Donald Trump and others after she issued a statement condemning the fatal shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, deceitfully twisting the events for political reasons.
The shooting of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while inside her SUV led to mass protests in the streets.
The protests erupted after Democratic lawmakers and their corporate media allies rushed to blame the agent for the fatal shooting.
However, evidence shows that Good, an anti-ICE activist, had been harassing agents and behaving threateningly.
In addition, new footage from the agent who fired the fatal shot clearly shows that she rammed him with her vehicle, forcing him to open fire in self-defense.
WATCH:
Still, Clinton, former secretary of state, quickly condemned the shooting, labeling it a grave injustice.
Clinton framed the incident as a “murder” and praised the thousands of angry protesters who gathered in Minneapolis.
Her words, while rallying some, have drawn sharp criticism from those who see her rhetoric as premature and dangerous, as reported by the Daily Mail.
“Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing,” Clinton stated.
“In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer.
“They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse,” she added.
Clinton’s effort to frame the incident as “murder” before a full investigation feels like lighting a match in a room full of gas.
Conservatives have pushed back hard against Clinton’s framing, arguing it risks inflaming tensions and endangering law enforcement.
Megyn Kelly, who has been reporting from the scene, called the statement “disgusting,” suggesting it could put lives at risk by stoking unrest.
President Trump took to Truth Social to defend the ICE agent, arguing that Good was a “professional agitator” who ran over an officer before the shooting.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem echoed this, asserting Good had been harassing agents prior to the incident.
Videos show that Good had been using her vehicle to block traffic and interfere with ICE operations in the run-up to the shooting.
On the other side, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, dismissed claims of self-defense, despite evidence to the contrary.
Democrat Governor Tim Walz similarly urged the public not to believe the Trump administration’s version of events, framing it as propaganda.
California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom didn’t hold back either, calling the shooting akin to “state-sponsored terrorism” and blaming the Trump administration for escalating tensions.
Amid the unrest, DHS deployed over 2,000 officers to the area in what it described as its largest immigration enforcement operation to date.
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance doubled down, encouraging ICE agents to push harder despite growing protests and threats against them.
Walz is demanding that Minnesota play a role in the investigation, criticizing powerful figures for spreading what he called false conclusions and calling up the National Guard to deal with the protests.
Nevertheless, the FBI is now leading the probe.
Legal experts point out that any potential criminal liability for Agent Jonathan Ross will hinge on the fine details of deadly force laws, not the court of public opinion.
Outrage won’t determine the outcome of this case as the law must be the arbiter, not emotion.
