   DOUBLING DOWN   
   Vance Goes on Troll Spree to Insult 'Deranged' Dead Mom   
   The vice president said the public's gaslighting over the ICE shooting   
   was "off the charts."

   Vice President JD Vance has mocked the unarmed mom killed by an ICE   
   agent in Minneapolis, describing her as a "deranged leftist" while   
   mansplaining that the officer who shot her was merely doing his job.   
      
   Hours after President Donald Trump defended the fatal shooting on   
   Wednesday night, Vance doubled down on Thursday, accusing critics of   
   "gaslighting" ICE and declaring it was "preposterous" to suggest the   
   death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was the officer's fault.   
      
   "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," Vance said.   
      
   Vance's comments formed part of a lengthy response to civil rights   
   lawyer Jenin Younes, a former staffer for Trump ally and GOP   
   Congressman Jim Jordan.   
      
   Writing on X, Younes said she "had no political dog in this fight" but   
   after reviewing the footage about 10 times from different speeds and   
   angles, "it is very clear that the officers instigated the   
   confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her."   
      
   She added that ICE officers had no authority to search a U.S. citizen   
   or arrest her unless there was probable cause to believe she was   
   harboring undocumented immigrants.   
      
   "A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement   
   authority over her has every right to try to escape," Younes wrote.   
      
   "Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an   
   attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer   
   standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to   
   the side, which is where he was when he shot her."   
      
   "Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin   
   with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived   
   threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable."   
      
   Vance, however, clapped back, posting a lengthy 249-word response,   
   doubling down on the administration's position: that the ICE agent   
   fired in self-defense, and that Good tried to use her vehicle as a   
   weapon against officers during the operation.   
      
      
       This is preposterous.   
      
       First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no   
   right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through,   
   before the officers approach her car.   
      
       Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are   
   approaching her vehicle&  https://t.co/2PnvK8KOCE

   He also argued that the young mother was approached because she was   
   obstructing an ICE operation, and that the officer only discharged his   
   gun after Good "had pointed the vehicle at him" and began accelerating.   
      
   "The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it," Vance said.   
      
   In a separate post, he also wrote that congressional Democrats and   
   those Democrats considering running for president should be asked: "Do   
   you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a   
   deranged leftist who tried to run him over?"   
      
   Good's tragic death, which took place not far from the scene where   
   Black Man George Floyd was killed by a white police officer in 2020,   
   sparked a national outcry and widespread protests.   
      
   The unarmed mom was shot three times by a federal officer as she   
   attempted to drive away from a traffic stop during a protest against an   
   immigration raid in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday afternoon.   
      
   Video showed officers approaching Good's Honda SUV and ordering her out   
   before an agent fired three shots as the vehicle began to pull away.   
      
   The SUV then crashed into parked cars and a utility pole as bystanders   
   screamed in shock.   
      
   But the killing sparked a political firestorm after video of the   
   encounter undermined the administration's claim of self-defense.   
      
   Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey also hit out at the administration's claim   
   that Good was a "domestic terrorist", telling ICE on Wednesday: "Get   
   the f--k out of Minneapolis."   
      
   Democrats have also demanded the resignations of Homeland Security   
   Secretary Kristi Noem, who oversees ICE, and White House Deputy Chief   
   of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's deportation strategy.   
      
   Trump also weighed in on Truth Social, saying Good "violently,   
   willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have   
   shot her in self defense."   
      
   "Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is   
   now recovering in the hospital," he went on. "We need to stand by and   
   protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of   
   Violence and Hate!"
