"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."
In a White House press briefing on Thursday, Vice President JD Vance criticized the mainstream media for their reporting in the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by ICE that took place the day prior, saying that the way that the media has largely presented the story "has been an absolute disgrace" that puts "our law enforcement officers at risk every single day."
He said that he had been sent a photo of a CNN headline regarding the shooting as he was about to walk into the briefing, which read, "'outrage after ICE officer kills US citizen in Minneapolis.’ Well, that’s one way to put it, and that is the way that many people in the corporate media have put this attack over the last 24 hours. And I say attack very, very intentionally because this was an attack on federal law enforcement. This was an attack on law and order. This was an attack on the American people."
"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."
He later added, "If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the President of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws."
"The President stands with ICE. I stand with ICE. We stand with all of our law enforcement officers. And part of that is recognizing that you people in the media, not everybody in this room, but many people in this room, have been lying about this attack. She was trying to ram this guy with her car. He shot back. He defended himself. He's already been seriously wounded in law enforcement operations before. And everybody who's been repeating a lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Every single one of you."
