Karoline Leavitt slams The Hill reporter for claim ICE agent killed Renee Good 'unjustifiably'

In Thursday’s White House press conference, press secretary Karline Leavitt slammed The Hill White House correspondent Niall Stanage for being a "left-wing hack" during a line of questioning about the recent shooting of activist Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis after she rammed an agent with her car.

Stanage said, “Earlier you were just defending ICE agents generally, and earlier on, Secretary Noem spoke to the media, and she said, among other things, that they are doing everything correctly." He continued, "32 people died in ICE custody last year, 170 US citizens were detained by ICE, and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?"

Leavitt asked the reporter in response to his question, "Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed," to which Stanager replied, "Are you asking me my opinion? Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably."

"Oh, ok," Leavitt said. "So you’re a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion." She added, "because you’re a left-wing hack, you’re not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist, and it’s so clear by the premise of your question, and you and the people in the media who have such biases, but fake like you’re a journalist, you shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat."

She continued, "But you’re pretending that you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist, and that question that you just raised and your answer proves your bias."

She said that he should be "reporting on the facts" and "reporting on the cases," adding, "Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? I bet you don’t. I bet you didn’t even read up on those stories. I bet you never even read about Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray, or all of the innocent Americans who were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country, and the brave men and women of ICE are doing everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and make our communities safer."

"Shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biased view and pretend like you’re a real, honest journalist," she concluded.
