Trump Responds to Minnesota ICE Shooting--and Makes It Way Worse

Trump Responds to Minnesota ICE Shooting—and Makes It Way Worse

https://newrepublic.com/post/205045/donald-trump-responds-minnesota-ice-shooting

“The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,” Trump wrote ( In a post on Truth Social ).

“Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital,” he wrote, referring to the officer. The video Trump shared, however, does not appear to show anyone being hit by the victim’s car, and the federal officers are not visible.

Another video taken from a closer angle showed the officer who fired his weapon standing, seemingly completely unharmed as the car initially drove away. A photograph of the officer showed him feet away from the car when he fired. It is not hard to believe that the officer is still alive; it’s not entirely clear that he was ever in danger. The driver, however, a U.S. citizen and apparent legal observer, is reportedly deceased, though the president did not bother to mention it.

“The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis,” Trump wrote. “They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!”

Lies about everything. It's an obvious lie and there is proof it's a lie.

THAT part floored me.

Hey! Guess what!

I'm still alive too, because I've been in the house all day, and...just like the "officer"...no one tried to run ME down in their SUV, either.

Even when it's on VIDEO, he's GOT to LIE.

16. I think if he said "She was nowhere near me and I was never in danger" he'd immediately be out of a job

"Conventional wisdom" sometimes makes the mistake of giving people the benefit of doubt when something like this happens, sort of "He'll have to live with that woman's death on his conscience for the rest of his life," but what do we know? He could be as bad as Trump, maybe worse. After all, it takes a certain kind of person to apply for those "jobs" in the first place. The guy could be ramming down a cheeseburger and fries right now, for all we know.

that's coming for him.

Radical?
Lets propose an Amendment that says Congress shall have the authority to void any pardon issued by a president, by simple majority, provided a court finds probable cause that pardon was issued for nefarious reasons. PROBABLE CAUSE ONLY, should be the floor.
Next time some fascist fuckhead pulls a J6, those traitors STAY in jail.

I'd bet right now you could get that ratified before the next presidential election.
