JD Vance called ‘soulless liar’ for his ‘tone-deaf’ defense of ICE shooting of a mother by ICE in Minneapolis; ‘What is wrong with you?’

JD Vance called 'soulless liar' for his 'tone-deaf' defense of ICE shooting of a mother by ICE in Minneapolis; 'What is wrong with you?'

Vice President JD Vance put out not one, but four social media posts, seen as statements coming from his position, to defend the killing of Renee Good, a Minneapolis mother, by an ICE officer Wednesday. Social media users concluded that JD Vance, as the president, would be much worse than President Donald Trump as Trump is at least not continuously defending the ICE killing in Minneapolis. People asked what was wrong with JD Vance that instead of issuing an official statement like a VP, he went ojn convincing the world that the ICE officer was right and Renee Good was wrong.

JD’s first statement: A tragedy of her own making

Reacting to a video that showed that Renee Good made contact with the officer first, JD Vance said the woman’s death is a tragedy but a tragedy of her own making. “Don’t illegally interfere in federal law enforcement operations and try to run over our officers with your car. It’s really that simple,” JD Vance said.

JD Vance’s 2nd statement: Work even harder

If the first statement did not make his support for the iCE clear, he made it clearer as he typed: “I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire administration stands behind them. To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we’re going to work even harder to enforce the law.”

3nd statement: Deranged leftist

In his third statement, JD Vance called Renee Good a deranged leftist and sent out a message to Democrats. “Every congressional democrat and every democrat who’s running for president should be asked a simple question: Do you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a deranged leftist who tried to run him over? These people are going to try to arrest our law enforcement for doing their jobs. The least the media could do is ask them about it.”

4th statement: Gaslighting is off the charts

The fourth and the so-far final statement of JD was the longest one, in which he highlighted four points — all tp blame the woman and exonerate the law enforcement. “The gaslighting is off the charts and I’m having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him. A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with,” he concluded.

Indian-American Advocacy Council condemns Vance: ‘Cowards should not become president’

Apart from Democrats who condemned JD Vance, the Indian-American Advocacy Council also took a strong stand and said cowards should not become the president of the US. “I don’t care whether the ICE agent is ultimately found at fault or not; that’s for investigators to determine. What is unacceptable is the tone-deaf, divisive response from JD Vance. Instead of calling for facts, restraint, and unity, he’s doubling down, posturing, and trying to turn a serious situation into a political ruckus,” the council co-founder wrote. Go to Source
