Catholic Newspaper Condemns Convert JD Vance's ICE Shooting Defense: 'A Moral Stain'
HuffPost
"As a Catholic, Vance knows better than to peddle this brand of gaslighting and agitation," the op-ed read.
A Catholic newspaper published a scathing op-ed ripping into Vice President JD Vance following comments he made justifying the fatal shooting of a Minnesota mother by a federal immigration officer.
“As a Catholic, Vance knows better than to peddle this brand of gaslighting and agitation,” National Catholic Reporter digital editor John Grosso wrote in the piece, which was published Thursday.
Vance, a Catholic convert, called the victim of Wednesday’s shooting “a deranged leftist” and “part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to doxx, to assault and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.”
Video taken from multiple angles of the incident shows immigration officers surrounding victim Renee Nicole Good’s SUV as one approaches her driver’s-side door and pulls the handle. Good reverses her vehicle, turns the front wheels to the right and drives forward as an officer fires shots at her.
Despite the footage, and a witness saying Good was “obviously scared” in the moment and trying to get away from the officers, President Donald Trump and his administration came out to bash her, saying she “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” (identified by The Star Tribune as Jonathan Ross).
Republicans in both chambers of Congress broke with President Trump on Thursday, in a sign that his once iron grip on the party is slipping.

The president named the GOP senators who should “never be elected to office again” after they voted with Democrats to limit his powers.
The state’s attorney general said no matter what federal investigators “come out with, it will be questioned.”
The Fox News host was deemed an "apex predator" for his dismissive description of Renee Good, who leaves behind a 6-year-old son.
The New York Democrat remembered that Watters once claimed she wanted to "sleep with" White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.
Tom Homan addressed the killing of a Minnesota woman, saying ICE agents face "heightened threat environments every day" and "have a right to self defense."
The government has already ponied up nearly $5 million for the family of slain rioter Ashli Babbitt.
The Fox News host made the confession Wednesday while discussing the new dietary guidelines unveiled at the White House.
The country’s crude oil is heavy, too thick to flow through a pipeline without dilution, and is filled with corrosive chemicals that can destroy refineries.
In unusually strong remarks, former foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said global democracy was being attacked as never before.
Cost-cutting at the Postal Service has made it more common for mail to be postmarked a day or more after it’s in the system — and that could make it harder for people to vote.
