If the ice agent is “sensitive” because of a prior vehicle incident, MAYBE HE SHOULDN’T BE OUT THERE NEAR VEHICLES WHILE ARMED
Who the fuck cares if he was hit 6 months ago, youre supposed to be a professional not trigger happy cause you’re scared… if so you have no right to be a cop anymore.
“Dragged by a car?” “This lady is part of a left-wing radical group”? “She was trying to ram this guy with her car”?
Vance makes me want to vomit.
Also, “People in this room are lying about this.” Well, I can agree with that.
The only reason JD would say they are being attacked is because they want justification to murder citizens in the streets.
THE ICE AGENT WAS NOT IN DANGER. THE FUCKING VIDEO SHOWS THAT PIECE OF SHIT KILLING A WOMAN IN COLD BLOOD. YIU GODDAMN FUCKING GHOUL VANCE. should be fucking ashamed of what a goddamn fucking piece of shit you are. Fucking worthless fucking eyeliner wearing fucking bastard
If the same officer had a previous issue with a car where he sustained injuries … then he shouldn’t have been standing in front of her fucking car.
The cop was hit before so stands infront of a car again… apparently hes a moron
>She aimed her car at law enforcement officer and floored it. Nobody debates that
Uhhh… a lot of people do, couch fucker. Because she didn’t.
Tim Walz is not a radical. What world is Vance living in???
So JD is just straight up saying that ICE is allowed to murder us and is immune from consequences. Fucking scumbag
“ramming an agent,” as if we haven’t seen the video.
Vance:
* I don’t know all the facts, but in my heart I’m right
* Everyone agrees with the facts
* Shame on you for doubting the facts
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
This is the most blatant example of gaslighting I’ve ever seen, Jesus
It’s fucking sickening watching them all just lie and attack like this. Even if their stance is the man ultimately self-defended, this effortless attack that it’s a “sinister left-wing plot” within the first literal 30 seconds just makes me frustrated to tears.
How can anyone watch this and agree? It’s just so clearly propaganda. Again, even if they ultimately, honestly believe in self-defence, there’s *no need* to turn it into an attack. The “political” thing would be to still claim tragedy, but instead they fan the flames.
It makes me want to cry. Seriously. I’m just frustrated to tears.
My Vice President is a lying, spineless, hateful piece of human garbage who will burn in hell.
This is so fucking exhausting
Just what Americans love: being lectured by a sassy dude with eyeliner
Trump is going to let this guy get away with murder. This is fucking outrageous the way they’ve handled this. It is FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS.
> We were going door to door trying to find illegal immigrants
…. what? I recall something dangerously similar to this occurring before in the mid-1900s.
This is gaslighting on a WHOLE new level
If something similar happened before with this exact agent, you fucking think he wouldn’t go in front of another fucking car
Send a “prayer” to the ice agent , and not the women who lost her life or her family ??
It is beyond belief that they are flat out lying to us when we have the whole thing on video.
I’m a Brit and this press conference is insane. He’s utterly deranged and evil and just spewing constant lies. He’s saying the evidence of our own eyes is wrong; throwing out that she was part of some left wing agitator network with no evidence (but even if she were thats not excuse for execution). He’s gaslighting the entire world.
The CNN headline he quoted was a literal factual description of what happened yet somehow it’s outrageous.
I feel for all of you over there. Be strong, be safe and do what you can – this must be stopped for the good of the entire world.
“Our European friends”
Your administration has no European friends you piece of shit.
Why the fuck should any of us believe this agent was hit in a prior vehicular assault?
You think an ICE agent got hit by a car and sent to the hospital and the Trump admin wouldn’t propagandize the fuck out of that? You seriously think the most despicable opportunists loud mouths wouldn’t be on Fox News whining about the “attack on ICE”?
Not to mention this administration has an extensive history of blatantly lying. Why would we believe anything they say about this?
Walks away from the podium with a smile and a wave, “happy new years guys”. Fucking psychopaths.
They dont want to tone down the temperature they want to outlaw dissent
I can only imagine a lot of those journalists have to learn internal calming techniques to stay composed during things like this.
A lot of shouting in their cars or bathrooms this afternoon maybe, or a vigorous 2-hour workout.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

This entire administration:
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Imagine you’re a little kid, your mom gets killed by federal officers, you’re scared and confused and you don’t know what happened and then you see the president is calling your mom a domestic terrorist.
Fuck these godawful people.
Either he is a complete moron (which is a good possibility) or he is intentionally stoking the flames
No more cute protests. No more arts and crafts posters. Civil disobedience. Marches without permits. Now.
My god, no doubt remains, the USA is firmly within the grip of fascism.
Mass mobilization NOW. What happened to that “rapid response” thing from the first term? We can’t just sit at our keyboards and mock this, we need to shut the country down.
Vance said “why was she there? Who paid her to be there and be violent”.
She lived on the fucking street.
