“Terrible things happen every day. Sad things happen, tragedies, cruelty, injustice, et cetera. And in most situations, it’s just a bad part of life. But what do you do when something terrible happens and a big group of people, including those who are running our country, tells you it didn’t? They tell you you’re not seeing what you clearly see. Are you supposed to just accept it and move on, go about your day? What do you do?”
“It’s important for us to know what happened, and what is happening, because if we don’t, it’s definitely going to happen again. There used to be a baseline of decency. The full force of the White House and the commentators who have decided that their job is to support anything and everything their leader says or does, are trying to convince us that a mom who just dropped her six-year-old off at school was part of a leftwing terror effort.”
“This woman, this unarmed mama – a devout Christian, by the way – who had no criminal record, driving a Honda Pilot trying to get away from armed men in masks in the snow, masked men who are screaming at her. We’re to believe this woman was a terrorist committing a terrorist act? And the fact that ICE shot through her windshield three times, that was her fault?”
According to Kristi Noem, the ICE officer was “following his training”. “How stupid do you think we are? That is not just an insult to Renee Good. That’s an insult to every law enforcement officer everywhere. They’re not trained to do that. Again, I encourage you to watch the video for yourself.”
“And by the way, I know it isn’t easy to work in law enforcement. I get that people make mistakes in the heat of a situation, but don’t try to tell me that went by the book. Apologize, investigate, let justice be served. I find it hard to believe that even people who love Donald Trump would go along with this, but I guess they do.” —Jimmy Kimmel
