Megyn Kelly slammed for 'outright evil' defense of Renee Good shooting

One of President Donald Trump's most vocal supporters in the media is offering a full-throated defense of a federal agent's fatal shooting of an unarmed U.S. citizen — and is being pilloried for it.

The Daily Beast reported Saturday that Kelly excused U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross' shooting of 37 year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good by blaming Good for her own death. On Friday, Kelly posted the new video filmed by Ross on his cellphone on her X account that shows Good turning her steering wheel all the way to the right before attempting to drive away from ICE agents. Ross can then be heard firing several gunshots, while a voice in the background calls Good a "f—— b——." Kelly, however, reiterated the argument from President Donald Trump's administration that Good was attempting to run Ross over with her vehicle.

"You can literally hear the alarm in the officer’s exclamation as he’s hit," Kelly wrote.

In an exchange on X, Claire Lehmann — the founder of conservative website Quillette — responded to Kelly's post by writing that Good "didn't deserve to be shot in the face." Kelly responded: "Yes, she did. She hit and almost ran over a cop."

Numerous X users condemned Kelly's response to Lehmann, with one calling her "outright evil." Another called her "irredeemable, un-Christian and un-American."

"One day, your trial won’t have nearly as many views as others, but I’ll tune in," the X user wrote. "What happens between you and God after that will comically surprise you, but not anyone else."

Kelly's post echoed previous arguments by Trump administration figures like Vice President JD Vance, who said Good's death was "of her own making." In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said good was committing an act of "domestic terrorism."
