Following the shooting of a woman in Minnesota by an ICE agent today after she appeared prepared to run him over with her car, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey made things worse with reckless statements. Frey was particularly unhinged.

For some strange reason, CNN’s Kasie Hunt decided to single out comments from President Trump and asked Scott Jennings if his comments were appropriate.

Jennings, in the nicest way possible, reminded Hunt that Trump is not the only one who has spoken and that Walz and Frey have said horrible things about ICE before today.

From Overton News:

Before facts were known, BOTH Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis’ mayor had already weighed in and effectively called the ICE officer a murderer.

HUNT: “Do you think it’s appropriate for the president to be weighing in in this way, while so many of the facts are still in dispute?”

JENNINGS: “Well, all the political actors seem to be weighing in.”

“The president has weighed in. The governor of Minnesota and the mayor of Minneapolis have weighed in and effectively called this guy a murderer.”

“They don’t know that. I mean, there’s obviously two points of view, and I assume there’s going to be more facts that we’re all going to learn in the days and weeks ahead.”

“But it’s pretty apparent this guy was standing in front of a vehicle and somebody accelerated it at him.”

“How this shakes out in the legal system, I don’t know.”

“I do know this. The president has been a strong proponent of standing up for these ICE agents and other federal law enforcement who have been, in fact, under assault from protesters since he took office and instructed them to simply enforce federal immigration law.”

“And we have seen, in my opinion, a lot of irresponsible rhetoric over the years from Democratic officials like Tim Walz, who have called them gestapo and murderers and everything else.”

Here’s the video:

CNN set the table — and Scott Jennings flipped it over.

Leave it to Kasie Hunt to go directly after Trump while ignoring Walz and Frey. She knew what they said but they get a pass because they’re Democrats and not Trump.
