HOW MANY DEATHS BY ICE ARE TOO MANY FOR YOU?
To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Pfluger, Sen. Cruz
From: A verified voter in Mason, TX
January 9
America today… ICE agents shot and killed a white, Christian, suburban, stay-at-home mom who had just dropped her 6 year old at school. Shot her point blank in her SUV with a glove compartment full of stuffed animals. Since every killing by the federal government becomes merely another political cudgel to be used, this one must really scare the Trump administration. Unlike the Epstein files that may contain evidence that President Donald J. Trump has sexually abused children, there is no hiding the murder of Renee Good, captured on video by witnesses as it was. So the go-to defense for the Trump administration is to smear Good and to convince the public that, contrary to widespread video evidence and our lying eyes, the federal agent put in place by the Trump administration shot her in self-defense. Kristi Noem, and Trump himself have all insisted that their false narrative is true. Media Matters for America compiled a timeline showing how Fox first told viewers that Good had tried to ram officers whose vehicle was stuck in a snowbank, then moderated their language as video appeared. Then by the evening, was parroting the administration’s talking points. In a press conference on the shooting, VP Vance made even more extreme statements, claiming—all evidence to the contrary—that the woman shot in Minneapolis was part of a “left wing network” and that “nobody debates” that she “aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator.” And that her death was ‘a tragedy of her own making.’ Vile, hypocritical weasel. In fact, among those who “debate” Vance’s version of events are journalists at the NYT, who published a slow-motion analysis that demonstrated conclusively that the vehicle was turning away from the officer when he opened fire. WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt increased the attack on Good even more by saying: “The deadly incident that took place in Minnesota yesterday occurred as a result of a larger, sinister left-wing movement that has spread across our country, where our brave men and women of federal law enforcement are under organized attack.” Now the FBI is excluding any Minnesota investigation into the shooting. Let yet another cover-up begin… This is the Trump/GOP America. Corrupt. Lying. Lawless. Murderous. Lacking morality. Lacking compassion. Self-serving. And unforgivable.
