A self-proclaimed ‘diehard Trump supporter’ in Minnesota warned the president to tone down his rhetoric in response to the recent fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by a U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Cassius Price, speaking Thursday with MS NOW reporter Alex Tabet, claims he voted for President Donald Trump three times, but found his faith shaken in response to the administration's falsehoods after Wednesday's shooting of 37 year-old Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good.
“I know that we're trying to hit immigration, … but let's follow the laws. Follow the Constitution. There's no rewriting that,” said Price. “You know, this is America. This is our community. And they're coming in and they're not following the laws. They're going about it their own way [and] they're being tyrants right now. They're doing things that they're not supposed to that is inhumane. And they're hurting people. They're killing people. And it needs to stop.”
Price was dismissive of the administration’s claim that Good had tried to run over immigration agents with her car, and he slammed Trump for painting the victim as a domestic terrorist. Price said he lived in Good’s neighborhood and did not see truth in that description.
“I'm very disappointed because obviously [Trump] is showing something and making a story. He's turning the story. This is not what happened,” said Price. “Obviously, if you've seen the video, the lady, she did not try to hit [the agent.]. She was obviously afraid. That doesn't give you the right to shoot and kill and gun someone down. This is my neighbor.”
Price also blasted Vice President JD Vance for defending ICE agents over one of their victims.
“When you make your bed, you should lay in it, and I think that they're not doing a good job,” Price said of untrained ICE troops. “I think that they're doing a lot of cover-ups. And it's not okay. I get it: you guys are trying to defend the guys you put out there, but sometimes you have to change the play. You know you can't win the game and you got to change the play. Make it right, and do what's good.”
“Be a good human being,” Price added.
