DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was on CNN this morning and effectively schooled Jake Tapper on the Minneapolis woman who disobeyed law enforcement and lost her life after she attempted to run over an ICE agent when fleeing.
There are multiple clips below, all in the same clip, that I have found this morning and compiled together. It’s not the full interview, but it’s a good portion of it and it gives you more context than just the 30 second clips going around right now.
What it demonstrates, in certain clips, is just how ridiculous Jake Tapper is as a host on CNN, denying the evidence of the videos that we all saw and trying to get semantic about it. But Noem doesn’t take the bait and does a fine job holding her own against him.
Watch below:
I don’t have time to comment on the entire video (I have to go to church), but I’ll just say that Tapper trying to get to the heart of the woman’s motivations (run over the officer or flee) in order to trap Noem is stupid. The woman was disobeying an officer to get out of the vehicle, proceeded to put it in drive and hit the gas and subsequently hit an officer who was standing in front of the vehicle. Quibbling about whether she wanted to run over the officer is irrelevant, because she actually hit him with her vehicle when attempting to flee. It’s on video. And that’s all that matters. Tapper knows this, but he’s intentionally trying to cater to his Democrat viewers with a dumb question like this.
