Vice President JD Vance has, alongside the other members of the Trump Administration, remained resolutely behind the ICE agent who appears to have had to fire on a leftist protester in self-defense when she allegedly tried to run him over with her car, with the vice president going scorched earth on the lying, mainstream media for its claims about the incident.
For reference, the leftist media has insisted that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, whose wife was taunting ICE agents as the alleged attack occured, was wrong to open fire and did so needlessly, or at least unnecessarily. Some media personalities and Democratic Party hacks have even gone so far as to suggest and insinuate that the Trump Administration has simply unleashed ICE to kill protesters, which is ridiculous.
It was against those rumors, suggestions, and insinuations that JD Vance went on the attack, using newly released footage showing Good seemingly trying to run over the agent directly in front of her, the same agent who opened fire on her, to insist that the mainstream media was lying about the officer and trying to ruin his life out of hostility to ICE rather than in the pursuit of justice and the facts.
In one such post, the vice president quote-tweeted the footage and noted the sort of lies the media has been telling and what the footage shows really happened, saying, “Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn’t hit by a car, wasn’t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense.”
In another post, which was a quote-tweet of the same post with the same footage showing what really happened, the vice president declared that the media’s behavior has been “disgusting,” saying, “What the press has done in lying about this innocent law enforcement officer is disgusting. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.”
Commenters on that post agreed, leaving messages like “What we’ve come to is commies vs Americans. A commie got shot and the press is on the side of the commies so no surprise at the narrative” and “They will never be ashamed. They need to be restricted by force. It’s a matter of national security.”
Similarly, other commenters on the vice president’s post said things like “The spouse needs to be charged with manslaughter and domestic terrorism charges federally” and “Yes. And they’ve been agitating riots in Portland by withholding information about the Tren de Aragua associate suspects allegedly trying to ram down the Border Patrol agents.”

Predictably, the leftists came out in force to attack VP Vance for his post in defense of ICE leftist Hollywood personality and movie director Jon Favreau, for example, snapped, “1. He wasn’t hit by a car, which we believe because we have eyes 2. I didn’t realize “hey dude I’m not mad at you” is harassment that warrants a death sentence 3. He killed an innocent woman 4. Shooting her in the face did nothing to protect him. Stepping out of the way did”.
