JD Vance DESTROYS White House Press Corps: ‘An Absolute Disgrace’
Vice President JD Vance on Thursday went scorched earth on White House reporters over their biased coverage of the recent fatal ICE altercation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Watch Todd’s Newsmax segment below and click here to follow him on YouTube:
During a briefing in the press room, Vance said, “The way that the media by and large has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day,” Fox News footage shows.
An ICE agent fatally shot a woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, during a chaotic confrontation that involved her driving a vehicle toward a federal officer.

“The reason this woman is dead is because she tried to ram somebody with her car, and that guy acted in self-defense,” Vance stated. “That is why she lost her life, and that is the tragedy.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described the altercation as “an act of domestic terrorism.”
“What happened was our ICE officers were out in enforcement action. They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis,” she stated. “They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle.”
During an interview with The Todd Starnes Show, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said the Trump Administration “will always back our brave law enforcement agents.”
“That includes our ICE officers who of course are in Minnesota to ensure that our immigration laws are being followed,” she added. Listen to her full interview here.
“The media will do anything to not only undermine President Trump, undermine Republicans, but unfortunately they are truly so deranged that they will also just go to bat for professional agitators and go to bat against our law enforcement,” Kelly told Starnes.
Kelly said the Trump Administration is proud of the task forces they have established in major cities to reduce and deter crime. “When you leverage the full might of our nation’s law enforcement, when you surge those efforts to make sure that people are safer, that’s paying off.”
