You can add CNN’s Abby Phillip to the list of Democrats twisting themselves in pretzels to remove Renee Good’s responsibility for her own shooting death at the hands of an ICE agent responding in self-defense. Democrats have again shifted the goalposts and are now arguing that an assumed "lack of intent" somehow absolves Good of almost running down a federal officer with her SUV. Republican commentator Scott Jennings was having none of it on Saturday’s NewsNight.
Just a thought ... when is CNN going to appropriately rename this NewsNight dog-and-pony-show to "Scott Jennings vs. the Communist Propaganda Machine"?
Jennings has the patience of a saint while dealing with Phillip’s ridiculous "intent" argument.
Abby Phillip is a veritable two-year-old.
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ 🚨 BOOM! Scott Jennings NUKES Abby Phillip trying to downplay the anti-ICE terror attack in MN
"Don't you think she was trying to escape?!"
SCOTT: "ESCAPE?! I'm sorry, but 'she was scared so she tried to 'escape' by running over a federal officer' is NOT an explanation I'm willing to accept!"
"She hit the accelerator looking DEAD AHEAD!"
"She showed up there with the intent to impede active federal law enforcement activities. She put herself in a position with a car in which she made a bad decision that caused the officer to believe his life was in imminent danger. THAT IS NOT IN DISPUTE." 💯💯

SpudmanWP (@SpudmanWP) ~ They use "escape" like it was a legal option for her - it was not. She was given a lawful command to exit her vehicle and the act of fleeing from them is a felony itself.

What to Expect When Charged With Fleeing From the Police in Minnesota
Even if you have just a momentary lapse in judgment for a few seconds, those few seconds where you fled from police or any other peace officers will result in a felony charge. This can come with a maximum of three years in prison as well as a maximum fine of $5,000.

It’s amazing how Democrats keep pushing this foolish and dishonest notion that defying federal authorities is okay.
The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) ~ "Trying to escape"? She was being detained by federal law enforcement officers. That's not called "escaping," that's called "evading arrest." And she tried to run over the guy in the process.
FalseEquivalence (@BrasilBurnett) ~ She was about to be detained until she put the car in drive and hit the gas pedal. That is trying to escape detention.
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ She stared right at the federal agent. This case is CLOSED.
The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) ~ Grinning at him, too, as she hit the gas. Thank God that man had the presence of mind to record this.
Well, it was the libtards who went all apoplectic and demanded that law enforcement officers wear body cameras. They just don't like it when those cameras, as they FAR more often than not do, prove that their beloved perps are the ones in the wrong.
Bitcoin Geezer (@BitcoinGeezer) ~ The mental gymnastics these deranged liberals go through is awe inspiring.
Steve (@StephenH2OMan) ~ Her "intent" would have mattered for her criminal trial if she had survived her crimes. But, she didn't. From the perspective of the officer's self-defense, they are irrelevant.
logicallydumb (@logicallydumbb) ~ Does Abby think the ICE Agent went there with the intent to shoot Renee Good? No.
Scott as usual is spot on; intent is irrelevant. She made AWFUL decisions that day. She used her SUV as a weapon, hit a federal agent & caused him to defend himself. Had she not, she’s at home today.
Good chose to interfere with federal agents and suffered the deadly consequences brought about by her own actions. Democrats are desperate to latch on to anything they hope will remove her responsibility for what happened. Sorry Democrats, it's all on her.
