Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) appeared on CNN Sunday to defend the fatal shooting of Renee Good, the Minnesota woman shot last week by a federal immigration agent, but was called out in real time for contradicting his own argument in defense of the killing.
Snip ...
"You yourself, just now, asserted that the woman clearly tried to run over the guy, and then you said, at the very least, she was going forward while he was in front," Tapper said.Is Markwayne Mullin actually onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut (25 plonks) ? ? ? ?
"I think that does illustrate the fact that this is, at the very least, a widely disputed incident full of ambiguities and interpretations. How can anyone be confident that she was trying to attack the officer instead of trying to flee the scene?"
Mullin then asserted that Good's killing would be equally justified should she have been only attempting to flee, and strongly hinted that she may have been a paid protester.
"Fleeing the scene, it doesn't make any difference!" Mullin insisted. "It's mind-blowing to me why we are defending someone that was acting in this manner when it was clearly that she hit an ICE agent, and in hence, law enforcement that's enforcing our nation's laws ... Those that are paying for professional protestors to obstruct the justice of law enforcement, they need to start being held accountable."
"We don't know that she was being paid," Tapper fired back.
Inquiring minds want to know.
