'We have eyes': Reporters deliver live fact-check to Trump’s VP

A new video from the vantage point of the ICE officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday prompted swift reaction from those eager to dispute President Donald Trump's accounting of the incident.

In the video, Jonathan Ross circles the red SUV being driven by Renee Nicole Good as she tells him, "That’s fine, dude, I'm not mad at you." She is then shown to turn the wheel of her car and go around him when he screams, "Whoa!" and fires. He never drops the phone, was not run over, and remains filming as he walks toward her car after it drives away and hits the tree.

After the shooting, someone in the video mutters, "f—— b——!"

"The idea that this man feared for his life in that moment is insane. She has a friendly exchange with him 20 seconds before and the car is going 2 miles an hour!" said The Bulwark's Tim Miller.

"This video shows clearly that he knew it was a middle aged white lady who showed no signs of menace. It also shows that he could clearly see her turning the wheel to the right to leave. He murdered her," Miller added.

"She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him," MS NOW columnist Philip Bump. "Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie."

MS NOW columnist Michael A. Cohen noted, "The decisive takeaway from this video is that Good wasn't focused on the officer in front of her at all. She was looking to the right as he walked past her car. She was clearly trying to leave and didn't look up until the car was in drive. In fact, she was so intent on getting away that she began to drive as her wife was trying to get into the car."

Drop State News reporter Ryan Grimm commented on Vice President JD Vance's post of the video, "You watched this, and that’s your conclusion? He shot her twice through her side window. How was he in danger? I think you’re starting to realize you may have ruined yourself over this."

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) notes that Good was getting two different messages from the officers.

Officer 1: “Get out of the car!” <simultaneously>

Officer 2: “Get out of here!”

Kinzinger comments, "The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too. This deserves a clear and fair investigation."

"Sir, I don't think the video shows what you want us to believe it shows. We have eyes," Julia Ioffe of Puck News said to Vance. "He doesn't even drop the phone."

Republican and Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell called Vance a "liar."

"She says, 'That’s fine dude. I’m not mad at you.' Then she’s clearly leaving and he shoots her three times in the face and calls her a 'f—— b——!' Then all of you immediately lied about it and called her a domestic terrorist, which is obviously a false smear," she said.

"Pod Save America" co-host Jon Favreau wrote, "1. He wasn't hit by a car, which we believe because we have eyes. 2. I didn't realize 'hey dude I'm not mad at you' is harassment that warrants a death sentence 3. He killed an innocent woman 4. Shooting her in the face did nothing to protect him. Stepping out of the way did."

Former MS NOW host Mehdi Hasan, who founded Zeto News, told the VP, "The only real harassment you see in that video is where the officer calls the woman he just murdered a 'fucking bitch,' on his own recording, right after he murdered her. And the Trump administration thought this was a clip in their favor?? That the VP should promote? Sheesh."

Gizmodo reporter Matt Novak posted a zoomed-in version showing Good making the sharp right turn to go around the officer.

He replied to a comment from a legal analyst who said, "the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a 'fucking bitch' is visceral, but [in my opinion] the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens."

Novak agreed, "That was my takeaway too. She's clearly turning the wheel to her right. I've slowed the video down here."

Former law enforcement chief and CNN commentator Charles Ramsey told the network, "It certainly doesn't seem like a threat at all, and she does seem to be pleasant."

He went on to say that the video makes it clear to him that it wasn't "a tense situation."
