Tucker Carlson Slams MAGA Reactions To Fatal ICE Shooting: ‘A Woman Got Shot In The Face’ | EUROtoday

Tucker Carlson has joined the multitude of conservatives with commentary on the deadly capturing of Renee Nicole Good, who was killed on Wednesday in Minneapolis by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

However, the previous Fox News host had a starkly completely different response than lots of his friends.

Carlson slammed his fellow conservatives for utilizing the tragedy “to score political points,” whereas additionally decrying liberal leaders like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for “behaving like children” by ordering ICE to “get the fuck out” of the town.

“But it should be secondary to the tragedy of Renee Nicole Good losing her life,” Carlson wrote Thursday in his subscriber-based e-newsletter.

“The 37-year-old was an American citizen and reportedly the mother of a kindergarten-aged child. Did we disagree with her views on immigration? Probably,” he continued. “But that shouldn’t matter. Her death is a tragedy, regardless of her partisan affiliations, ideological beliefs, or who pulled the trigger. A woman got shot in the face. How come so few conservatives are viewing this story through a human lens?”

Footage of the incident confirmed masked ICE brokers approaching Good’s automotive because it partially blocked a highway, reaching by means of her open driver’s seat window.

“If the United States were in a better place, everyone, regardless of their politics, would pause when something like the Minneapolis shooting happens and at least recognize the human tragedy,” wrote Carlson. “But that doesn’t happen because, compared to the countless overseas killings our government routinely brings about, Good’s death doesn’t seem like such a big deal. She’s just another headline.”

Carlson ceaselessly praised Trump throughout his a few years because the most-watched host on Fox News, and regardless of personal textual content messages from 2021 revealing that he “passionately” hated the MAGA chief, endorsed Trump on the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Carlson left Fox News in 2023 to launch his personal streaming community. He has since damaged with Trump over his administration’s ongoing function within the Israel-Gaza battle, repeatedly urging on his present that Trump ought to give attention to home points regarding Americans.
