CNN host Kaitlan Collins forced U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) to defend his position that the fatal shooting of an American citizen at the hands of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was not worthy of a follow-up investigation.
“If they're investigating anything, they need to be investigating the paid protesters, and who's paying them to obstruct federal officers from doing their job,” Mullin said of slain 37 year-old Minneapolis, Minnesota mother Renee Good, without evidence that Good was a paid protestor.
“We've seen the videos and how quickly it happened. Do you have no unanswered questions?” Collins prodded.
“No. Absolutely not. It is very clear," Mullin responded.
“It’s clear which bullet killed her or how fast she accelerated?” Collins asked. “You don't have any of those questions?”
“What does it matter which bullet killed her? What does it matter how fast she accelerated?” Mullin said.
“That's typical of how an investigation would work when a federal officer kills an American citizen, is it not? I mean, they would look into those things,” Collins insisted.
“Are we doubting the fact that she accelerated and hit an officer?” Mullins demanded. “Is that debatable? No, it's not debatable.”
“You say that is so clear, but there are officials that we've had on this show from Minnesota and local officials who believe that this was murder,” said Collins. “They've watched the same videos you have, and they've come to a totally different conclusion. So why not have an investigation?”
“But it's clear what took place,” Mullins said.
“To you. But other people say it's the opposite,” Collins said.
